Root canals are one of the most dreaded procedures for patients. At Oregon Health & Science University, principal investigator Luis Bertassoni, D.D.S., and his team have discovered a new method that uses synthetic means to repair infected dental tissue. Inspired by the latest technology, this development has the potential to revolutionize dental care. Read more about the report and the benefits of the improved root canal procedure.

Endodontic treatment is an effective option for patients whose dental pulp has become inflamed or infected. However, one of the major drawbacks of root canals is that the infected dental tissue is removed and replaced with synthetic biomaterials, which eliminates the tooth’s blood and nerve supply.

The instrument is designed to address the shortcomings of traditional NiTi instrumentation.

British researchers have come up with a bacterial detection system for root canal treatments. In early trials, the system seems to be effective. Currently, the failure rate for root canals from secondary bacterial infections is one in four. SafeRoot, the new system, can detect bacteria in as little as three minutes.

The new method of detecting bacteria during root canal treatments could eliminate secondary infections and the need for follow-up visits.

The endodontic debridement instrument reportedly addresses the shortcomings of traditional NiTi instrumentation.

Having the right technologies and tools in your arsenal can greatly streamline endo treatment.

A Chicago area man spent more than a month in the hospital after a dentist allegedly dropped a dental file down his throat. Now the man is receiving more than half-million dollars.

Dentsply Sirona Endodontics has added another product to its ProRoot® MTA family of endodontic advanced treatment options. ProRoot® ES endodontic root canal sealer is made from an enhanced formula of its counterpart ProRoot MTA root repair material.

People undergoing root canals may have gained a powerful, if tiny, new ally. Researchers from the UCLA School of Dentistry have found that using nanodiamonds to fortify a material used in the procedure could significantly improve outcomes for patients.

Back then, he had the opportunity to test the two-file system and give Komet his feedback. He was thrilled with the results, and he has been using the files in his Germantown, Wisc., practice ever since. He also uses Komet’s PathGlider mechanical file.

Lateral condensation with standardized gutta percha points in combination with a root-canal sealer is a commonly accepted technique. In this method, once the master gutta percha point has been fitted, the canal is ready to be filled using subsequent points: the spreader is placed as far as possible into the canal toward the apex, and it is spread from side to side to compress the gutta percha and sealer against the walls until there is no more room for additional points.

Engineered to provide optimal access paired with superior canal preparation, Komet USA’s line of endodontic instruments ensures successful root-canal treatment for cases ranging from simple, single-canal procedures to more complex, multiple-canal therapy.

Successful endodontic treatment relies heavily on proper preparation of the access cavity. Sufficient, straight-line access to the root canal ensures all canals are properly exposed and adds to the predictability of endodontic treatment. It also enables the endodontic files to work smoothly and with less stress to the NiTi file.

A dental office manager in New York has learned the hard way that playing pretend can result in some very real consequences.

The primary goal of root canal therapy is to create an environment in which the root or roots of a tooth are maintained in a healthy periodontium. This, in turn, allows the tooth to be restored to normal function. To achieve this objective it’s important to minimize or eliminate microorganisms and pathologic debris in root canal systems. This becomes more challenging when we are presented with teeth having calcified canals.
