    On the other hand, the root canal filling material may be extruded from the apex leading to other complications. [citation needed] The X-ray in the right margin shows two adjacent teeth that had received bad root canal therapy. The root canal filling material (3, 4, and 10) does not extend to the end of the tooth roots (5, 6 and 11).

    Ostensibly, then, for regeneration to occur, the root canal system must have been decontaminated and further access to microbial invasion must be prohibited. Regeneration of the bone has been demonstrated to occur, on average, at a rate of 3.2 mm² per month, and studies suggest that 71% of lesions have achieved complete resolution one year ...

  4. Periradicular surgery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Periradicular_surgery

    The filling promotes cementum and bone formation, [21] [22] blocks bacteria, and is a barrier for the root canal. Inflammation of the periradicular site due to bacteria could cause recovery to deteriorate and induce periradicular infection. [22] Careful evaluation of root canal filling material is required to optimise healing after the procedure.

  5. Root canal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Root_canal

    A root canal is the naturally occurring anatomic space within the root of a tooth. It consists of the pulp chamber (within the coronal part of the tooth), the main canal(s), and more intricate anatomical branches that may connect the root canals to each other or to the surface of the root.

    Examples of this are undercuts, slots/grooves or root canal posts. In some cases this may necessitate excessive amounts of healthy tooth structure to be removed. Hence, alternative resin-based or glass-ionomer cement-based materials are used instead for smaller restorations including pit and small fissure caries.

    Dental caries, dental trauma, dental procedures, [3] professional misconduct [4] Diagnostic method: Apical Radiolucencies, Apical Radiopacities [5] Treatment: Root canal treatment, [1] periradicular surgery, [6] retrograde root canal treatment [7] Medication: Antibiotic in case of a sudden onset of symptoms in less than 24 hours.

  8. Regenerative endodontics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regenerative_endodontics

    Regenerative endodontics has 3 critical steps: adequate disinfection of the root canal system, induction of bleeding through overinstrumentation to create a scaffold for stem cells, and coronal sealing of the blood clot with a biocompatible material, such as mineral trioxide aggregate. The procedure is applied in two visits as follows: [50]

  9. Endodontic files and reamers - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endodontic_files_and_reamers

    Endodontic files and reamers are surgical instruments used by dentists when performing root canal treatment. These tools are used to clean and shape the root canal, with the concept being to perform complete chemomechanical debridement of the root canal to the length of the apical foramen. Preparing the canal in this way facilitates the ...
