What You Didn't Know About Molar Anatomy
WHAT YOU DIDN’T KNOW ABOUT MOLAR ANATOMY
WHAT YOU DIDN’T KNOW ABOUT MOLAR ANATOMY CBCT is slowly becoming the standard of care for endodontics for many reasons. In a tooth with a somewhat unusual root shape, such as the case demonstrated here, CBCT helps us determine the number of canals so that we can keep our accesses minimal and make informed decisions of where to look for accessory canals such as an MB2. This tooth had a conical root shape so a CBCT was taken to determine anatomy. As you can see below, this is a highly unusual anatomy where the DB root bifurcates to form four […]
Why Does My Endodontist Sometimes Fill Short?
WHY DOES MY ENDODONTIST SOMETIMES FILL SHORT???
WHY DOES MY ENDODONTIST SOMETIMES FILL SHORT??? As endodontists, we attempt to fill to the anatomic constriction in every case. Sometimes this portal of exit can be quite far from the ‘radiographic apex’ due to dilacerations, a tooth’s anatomy, or angulation of the radiation source with respect to the tooth. This is why we heavily rely on electronic apex locators which are considerably more accurate than conventional PA images. Carefully inspect the images below. The pre-operative PA looks like the length control is nearly perfect; however, when the tooth is extracted, you can note that the thermafil carriers are actually […]
