A rare case of persistent postendodontic symptomatic maxillary central incisor with aberrant canal configuration confirmed by cone-beam computer tomography and its nonsurgical management by retreatment
This article describes a rare case report of retreatment of a maxillary central incisor with two roots with normal clinical crown which was confirmed by cone-beam computer tomography (CBCT). A 50-year-old Indian male patient presented with pain and discomfort on a root canal-treated anterior tooth. Pulp sensibility testing of left maxillary central incisor was negative. Intraoral periapical digital radiograph revealed an obturated canal with suspected outline of a second root which got confirmed with cone shift technique. The tooth was treated under dental operating microscope during which two canals were located and retre...

Hemisection: Partial preservation of compromised tooth
Ishani Saluja, Annapoorna K Kamath, Sreelakshmi Pradeep, Ravi Gupta, Kanika DuggalJournal of Conservative Dentistry 2023 26(3):355-358One of dentistry's primary objectives is the long-term maintenance of teeth. Hemisection may be the best line of action when only one root is decayed and the other one is intact. This case report outlines and depicts a situation in which the deteriorated terminal abutment was part of a cantilevered fixed prosthesis. Hemisection and prosthesis rehabilitation had successful outcomes. (Source: Journal of Conservative Dentistry)
