Endodontic access cavities are critical procedures in root canal treatment that involve creating an opening in a tooth to allow for effective cleaning, shaping and obturation of the pulp chamber. The ...

Background: Teeth treated endodontically are more susceptible to vertical root fracture (VRF). Some studies have suggested that obturating the root canals with Gutta-percha or Resilon can reinforce ...

A commercially available obturation material may better at preventing vertical root fractures than gutta-percha, according to a new systematic review that looked at vertical root fracture incidence in ...

Detecting vertical root fractures in endodontically treated teeth is difficult, no matter the filling material used. A new study investigated whether a tooth's orientation in relation to the x-ray ...
