Endodontics Redefined

Next stop Delhi!!

We are all booked for the upcoming bootcamps in Goa this month, Masters meet in Goa again in june and Vishakhapattnam Ida branch module!

Time to tackle the Delhi bootcamp!! See you all soon. First ever Treat- Retreat- Scout module!!

Sometimes planning the wotkflow beforehand, helps you immensely, treating these complex cases!!

Many canals can be shaped in just a few minutes, although they may not be cleaned. Susin et al. demonstrated that one of the greatest challenges is cleaning and disinfecting the connections between canals and isthmuses. Failure to access, debride, and disinfect this complex anatomy might have a direct effect on treatment outcomes, particularly in which all canals has an independent apical foramen

The expression “shaping and cleaning” is intended to emphasize that canals are generally shaped first and then cleaned if irrigation protocols are followed . Shaping is critical, not only for effective cleaning, but also for three-dimensional obturation. Metallurgies to plan such complex "6 canal" anatomy is always a challenge!!

As intricate middle mesial and middld distal would need an instrument that can shape the canal, maintaining the centering ability! significantly reducing apical transportation and respecting original canal anatomy..

Sharing an interesting case of lower molar with Radix Entomolaris with 6 canal configuration!

Keep scouting!! Cheers!

The persistent challenge of missed MB2 canals in endodontics underscores the importance of implementing comprehensive strategies to enhance their detection and management.

What further adds up to this challenge is when these tricky mb2's present with significant amount of curvature along the middroot level.

Planning your instrumentation sequence with the right metallurgies play a crucial role in managing these cases.

Sharing a recently published approach by Dr wang.
Found this approach for locating mb2 really predictable.

By establishing the predicted location at the intersection of a line parallel to DB-P through MB and the perpendicular from DB to MB-P, the combined method overcomed the primary limitation of each individual method brought by the tendency of both methods to define a range rather than a specific single point.
If you want to read more about this, drop your number, will share!

Keep scouting, Cheers!!
