Summary:
Endoscopy has enabled medicine to take a quantum leap in disease diagnosis and therapeutic management by allowing visualization and access for repair of injuries via minimally invasive surgical (MIS) techniques. Since their introduction, fiberoptic bundles and electronic video technology have continually advanced and fostered smaller-bore (viewing tubes) endoscopes of 2 mm and less, further improving access into smaller cavities and anatomical spaces of the body. This viewing technology has reached its pinnacle, and tomorrow's technology has recently become the reality of today for dental professionals. The introduction of the dental endoscopic intraoral viewing system (DentaIView, Irvine, CAl will help overcome many diagnostic and therapeutic challenges encountered in the daily practice of dentistry. The dental endoscopic intraoral viewing system has a unique small bore size of approximately 1 mm, 24x to 48x magnification, a powerful illuminating source, and an effective irrigation system to allow optimal visualization during minimally invasive dental surgical applications (MIDSATM) . The dental endoscope allows major advances in the diagnostic and therapeutic abilities of healthcare providers throughout the industry. The use of dental endoscopy allows the clinician to visualize structures, calculus, prosthetics, odontogenic aberrations, and anatomic abnormalities; traditional magnifications with loupes or microscopes have limited use in this capacity, permitting only supragingival viewing unless surgical flap access is facilitated. When used adjunctively during surgery, traditional modes of magnification cannot visualize limited space areas such as the roof of furcations and/or root surfaces in deep and narrow three-wall infrabony defects that can be viewed using endoscopic technology.

Do All Endodontically Treated Teeth Require a Post?
Treatment modalities in restorative dentistry should be implemented with a solid rationale behind them and support from scientific studies.These principles, in conjunction with clinical experience, can dictate when and if a post is required when a tooth has undergone root canal treatment. Dentists know each tooth is anatomically different and should be diagnosed and treated with an individual approach when it comes to its restoration. It is tempting to follow a path that leads into a routine in which…

Evolution and Integration of Current Restorative Endodontic Concepts
The restoration of endodontically treated teeth was advocated by G.V. Black in 1869 followed by a one-unit post and crown by Richmond in 1878. Engineering principles indicate that structural strength on endodontically treated teeth is decreased by the removal of the roof of the pulp chamber, canal enlargement, and hence loss of integrity. The intrinsic strength of dentin can be diminished as a result of root canal treatment originated by decay, pathology, or trauma. When endodontic treatment is indicated,…

Re-treatment Endodontics of a Missed Distal Canal.
Persistent pain in an Endodontically treated tooth can be often due to missed anatomy. This case demonstrates how an entire distal canal/root was missed during initial endodontic therapy. High mag images through the surgical microscope are used to demonstrate calcification which can obscure pulpal anatomy.
