Acute periapical periodontitis : Clinical Features, Radiology, Pathology, Management
Acute periapical periodontitis : Clinical Features, Radiology, Pathology, Management Clinical features The classic symptom is of a dull throbbing ache, usually well localised to a heavily restored or grossly diseased tooth. It may be difficult for the patient to determine whether an upper or lower tooth is affected as the pain is experienced particularly when [...]
Symptomatic Apical Periodontitis : Clinical Features, Treatment
Symptomatic Apical Periodontitis : Clinical Features, Treatment Symptomatic apical periodontitis (SAP) is comparable in pain intensity to advanced acute pulpalgia, but SAP lasts longer—24 hours a day, day after day. SAP is frequently caused by iatrogenic blundering, perforating the apical foramen and forcing bacteria, necrotic debris, and/or caustic medicaments into the periapical tissues . Violent [...]
Tooth Infraction : Clinical Features, Treatment
Tooth Infraction : Clinical Features, Treatment Tooth infraction (often called cracked tooth or split tooth syndrome) involves a tooth that is split or cracked but the two parts are not yet separated. It presents bizarre symptoms ranging from constant unexplained hypersensitivity to constant unexplained toothache. Biting down on the tooth may bring on a sudden [...]
Internal Resorption : Clinical Features, Treatment
Internal Resorption : Clinical Features, Treatment Internal resorption is an insidious process because there may not be any symptoms involved. The only sign may be an unexpected radiographic discovery. In some cases, however, internal resorption may mimic the mild pain of moderate acute pulpalgia. Another sign might be pink tooth of Mummery if the crown [...]
Root canal morphology of mandibular third molar
Root canal morphology of mandibular third molar The lower third molar resembles the first and second molars, but the probability of teeth with four canals is again less and of teeth with two canals greater. Third molars are shorter than the other molars, which makes instrumentation easier. However, many third molars have very curved canals [...]
Root canal morphology of mandibular second molar
Root canal morphology of mandibular second molar The lower second molar is much like the first molar but generally easier to instrument because the curvatures are milder. The occurrence of four canals in the second molar is more rare than in the first molar, and only two canals is a more frequent possibility than in [...]
Root canal morphology of mandibular first molar
Root canal morphology of mandibular first molar The mandibular first molar is perhaps the most frequently endodontically treated molar. It is, however, often quite difficult to treat because of its root canal anatomy. It usually has 3 – 4 canals, two in the mesial root and one or two in the distal root. The Distal [...]
