A simple predictable triple protocol for the management of double-curved canals (Case report of three cases)
Mohammad Yaman SeirawanJournal of Conservative Dentistry 2022 25(5):573-577Double-curved canals, despite their rarity, pose a great challenge to complete endodontic treatment, and the difficulty lies in negotiating these canals and reaching their apex, whereas the greatest difficulty lies in their shaping, disinfection, and obturation. Conventional methods require excessive preflaring to the level of the first curvature to facilitate access and handling of the second one. Modern technologies facilitate dealing with these cases without compromising the dental tissues, metal alloys have become more flexible, and activation t...

Endodontic management of maxillary first molar with unusual anatomy
This article reports nonsurgical endodontic management of bilateral maxillary first molars with an unusual morphology of a single root and a Sert and Bayirli type-IX canal configuration. A 41-year-old female reported with dull continuous pain in the maxillary left and right quadrants. On clinical examination, the maxillary first molars on both sides were carious with pulpal exposure and radiographic evaluation revealed an unusual anatomy of single root and single canal for both of them. Based on clinical and radiographic examination, tooth numbers 16 and 26 were diagnosed with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis and symptoma...

Effect of guided conservative endodontic access and different file kinematics on debris extrusion in mesial root of the mandibular molars: An in vitro study
Conclusions: All instrumentation systems produced ADE irrespective of access cavity design. The time taken for preparation of canals in ConsAC was significantly longer compared to TradAC. Clinical Relevance: ADE can translate clinically as postoperative pain. Assessing the ADE in ConsAC could shed light on the type of file systems that can be used in such cavities in order to minimize postoperative pain clinically.

Effectiveness of polyhexamethylene biguanide, chlorhexidine, and calcium hydroxide intracanal medicament against intraradicular mature polymicrobial biofilm: A microbiological study
Conclusions: All the three tested intracanal medicaments such as CH, CHX, and PHMB Gel were effective in reducing the microbial count. CH has a limited antimicrobial effect against the polymicrobial biofilm found inside the root canal. 2% CHX gel has a time-dependent antimicrobial effect. PHMB has a superior antimicrobial effect in comparison with CHX and CH. (Source: Journal of Conservative Dentistry)

Prevalence of C-shaped canal and related variations in maxillary and mandibular second molars in the Indian Subpopulation: A cone-beam computed tomography analysis
Conclusions: Within the limitation of the study, we can conclude that the overall prevalence of C-shaped canals was 22% and the most common C-shaped canal configuration type was continuous (52.7%). However, no statistically significant difference was found in relation to jaw type. (Source: Journal of Conservative Dentistry)
