[Methodology for a rational approach to endodontic cavity access and canal preparation. Endodontic cavity access and pretreatment].

The purpose of this study was to develop a protocol which allows for improved access cavity preparation in all clinical circumstances. From radiographic and clinical evaluation a systematic organization of 10 burs was found to be optimal for all cases encountered. This standard arrangement makes burs available for use in situations with varying loss of coronal tooth structure and provides an orderly approach to endodontic therapy. A complete protocol accompanies the standardization of instruments making the techniques widely available. The standardization of this phase of endodontic therapy permits foreseeable and reproducible results. The use of a rational protocol in the form of systematically organized burs results in improved root canal therapy because of better patient and instrument management.

Endodontic treatment finalization--a systematic endodontic-restorative approach.

Endodontic Treatment Finalization, a system integrating the fields of endodontics, periodontics and restorative dentistry, consists of ordered and logically sequenced steps to determine and provide the extent of treatment needed. The system is presented, along with both scientific and opinion-based rationale for its use.

Endodontic applications of guided tissue regeneration in endodontic surgery.

This paper is intended to provide an overview of different endodontic applications in guided tissue regeneration. It is our expectation that using these techniques, where applicable, will increase endodontic surgical success. We have described six different clinical conditions including external resorption, root perforation, dehiscence, palatal grooves, oblique root fractures, and large periapical lesions. We believe the use of guided tissue regeneration techniques will allow us to predictably treat teeth that otherwise might be extracted.

Endodontic patient recall procedures: a national survey of endodontic practices.

A survey was conducted to measure the extent of patient recall procedures and perceived success and failure in treatment from a sample of endodontists. A comparison to the accepted Quality Assurance Guidelines set forth by the American Association of Endodontists was conducted. Three hundred surveys were mailed to as many active members of the American Association of Endodontics. Two hundred thirty-three responses were returned for a response rate of 77.6%. The only statistically significant finding was that military practitioners in general do not have an active recall system. This was significant at the p < 0.008 level.

Endodontic recall radiographs: how reliable is our interpretation of endodontic success or failure and what factors affect our reliability?

Three hundred thirty cases were selected from an endodontic practice. Postoperative and recall radiographs of each case were examined by four endodontists for an interpretation of treatment success or failure. One hundred eighteen cases were examined a second time by each endodontist. Initial analysis showed substantial inconsistency in both inter- and intraobserver interpretation. The cases were then categorized by average radiographic density differences within radiograph sets, anatomic location of the treated tooth, technical compatibility within radiograph sets, and by length of time between postoperative and recall radiographs. It appears that these factors do not affect reliability of success/failure interpretation.

Frequency of endodontic treatment in Kuwait: radiographic evaluation of 846 endodontically treated teeth.

A retrospective study was conducted to evaluate the radiographic films of 846 endodontically treated teeth at Benied Al Ghar Dental Center in Kuwait. The most frequently treated tooth was the mandibular first molar (17.4%). The number, percentage, and distribution of the roots, root canals, and apical foramina were reported by individual tooth. The clinical findings were compared to the results of previously related in vitro and in vivo studies.

A combined endodontic retrofill and periodontal guided tissue regeneration technique for the repair of molar endodontic furcation perforations: report of a case.

This is a report of a case in which the techniques of endodontic retrofill and guided tissue regeneration were used together to treat a perforation of the mesiofacial root of a maxillary left first molar (a strip perforation). After full-thickness flap reflection, the root received a retrograde filling and a large fenestration defect was surgically created to allow access to the furcal (distal) surface of the mesiofacial root. The roots were treated with tetracycline, the defect was filled with freeze-dried, demineralized, irradiated human cadaver bone, and the access fenestration was covered with a piece of barrier membrane. Healing was uneventful and the defect showed 100% bone fill at the time of reentry to retrieve the membrane 7 months after the initial surgery. Fifteen months after surgery the area appears clinically and radiographically healthy and the tooth has been employed as an abutment for a fixed partial denture.

Challenges influencing the future of endodontics. New technologies for endodontic education.

The major challenge of contemporary dental education is teaching students to transfer their acquired knowledge from one setting to another. New technology-based educational tools such as IMPACT, Interactive Multimedia Patient Case Tutor, developed at the Virginia Commonwealth University School of Dentistry, can assist in this educational paradigm shift by teaching students basic science in the context of patient dental problems. The interactivity of technology as used in the IMPACT program links students' basic science knowledge base to the description, understanding and solution of patient problems.
