An endodontic flare-up is a complication of endodontic treatment which is defined as an acute exacerbation of asymptomatic pulpal or periapical pathoses after the initiation or continuation of root canal treatment. A flare-up is characterized by pain and/or swelling that may arise following initial debridement of the root canals or even after obturation. The severity of a flare-up varies according to the severity of the patient's pre-operative pathosis, signs and symptoms.Flare-ups can also be caused by inadequate debridement and disinfection of the root canals,microbial persistence after...

Guided endodontics, a tool in Minimally invasive endodontics helps in diagnosis, treatment planning and executing the treatment. Pulp canal obliteration, occurs as a sequelae to trauma, characterized by deposition of hard tissue within the root canal space complicates the conventional endodontic treatment . Use of dental Operating Microscope in association with endodontic guides and ultrasonic tips paved way for the removal of calcified areas in the pulp chamber and within the deep canal . Besides their role in calcified canals, their role in surgical endodontics have also been emphasized....

Ceramic inlays and onlays are an aesthetic alternative to conventional metal restorations. The terms biomimetics and bioemulation are often used with such restorations as they replicate the natural tissue arrangement, structure and function, with or without minimal tooth preparation. Thus, bonded inlays and onlays offer the benefit of conservation of tooth structure as well as the mechanical advantages of modern adhesive systems, which can strengthen the compromised tooth. This book covers a wide range of topics such as the indications, new ceramic materials available and tooth preparation...

DENTIN HYPERSENSITIVITYDentin hypersensitivity is a common and serious dental condition. As a dentist, we have to be well to appropriately identify the issue by ruling out other etiological variables. To the best of our knowledge, dentin hypersensitivity is the one that has received the most attention in the literature but has yet to be resolved. This book explains the clinical significance of dentin hypersensitivity as well as recent advancements in its treatment. Dentin hypersensitivity is both an enigma and a source of insight.

Die geführte Endodontie, ein Instrument der minimalinvasiven Endodontie, hilft bei der Diagnose, Behandlungsplanung und Durchführung der Behandlung. Eine Pulpakanalobliteration, die als Folge eines Traumas auftritt und durch die Ablagerung von Hartgewebe im Wurzelkanalraum gekennzeichnet ist, erschwert die konventionelle endodontische Behandlung. Der Einsatz des zahnärztlichen Operationsmikroskops in Verbindung mit endodontischen Schablonen und Ultraschallspitzen ebnete den Weg für die Entfernung von verkalkten Bereichen in der Pulpakammer und im tiefen Kanal. Neben ihrer Rolle in...
