Innovative adjuncts to the endodontic armamentarium.

The primary objective of nonsurgical endodontic therapy is total debridement of the root canal system concomitant with three dimensional obturation of the entire intraradicular space recent supplements to the endodontic armamentarium have enhanced the predictability of clinical success by maximizing the potential for canal identification and by ensuring the maintenance of a closed, aseptic system during treatment. In addition, two systems have been introduced that facilitate retreatment of cases wherein biologic failure is occurring. One is used to remove solid core obturating materials that previously would have been considered inaccessible and the second enables disassembly of a previously restored endodontically treated tooth in order to access the deficiencies within the root canal system.

Intra-radicular rehabilitation: a clinical approach.

The emphasis in placing posts is shifting from their ability to strengthen the tooth structure to their capacity to provide additional retention and resistance to the displacement of the core material, without inducing undue installation or functional stresses. Numerous post systems are available. The learning objective of this article is to present a recently-introduced system of light-transmitting posts (LTP), with integrated size reamers and metal posts, which simplify the placement technique. A case report is used to illustrate the clinical procedure.
