Apical Dentinal Cracks as a Cause of Endodontic Treatment Failure: Microsurgical Diagnosis and Management part 1 of 2
Description:
Non surgical endodontic treatment is a predictable and reliable treatment with high success rates ranging from 86%–98% . Nevertheless, for a variety of reasons, endodontic failure still occurs, and presence of clinical signs and symptoms along with radiographic evidence of periapical bone destruction indicates the need for retreatment.
The first and most important step for retreatment planning is to determine the cause of endodontic failure.
The failure of the root canal treatment is generally attributed to either residual or resistant intraradicular microorganisms surviving cleaning and shaping procedures or new microorganisms invading the canals via miclroleakage. Rarely some persistent lesions may be attributed to extraradicular infection, foreign body reaction or a true periapical cyst. Moreover, the outcome of root canal retreatment is less favorable than the initial treatment.
Endodontic failure related to microorganisms can be caused by procedural errors such as root perforation, ledge formation, separated instruments, missed canals, as well as anatomical difficulties such as apical ramification, isthmuses, and other morphologic irregularities. Nevertheless, a precise diagnosis can be made only after surgery or extraction. A precise inspection of the root apex or resected root surface is one of the best advantages of endodontic microsurgery. It helps identify the cause of endodontic failure, so that causative factors can be removed completely during the surgical procedure.
This new lecture is about analyzing the cause of my personal retreatment failures by using microsurgical techniques. It seems that apical dentinal cracks dominate my failures.
Preventive measures, risk factors and treatment options are also discussed.

5* from me . Especially for the Greek Version. Well done!

indeed very impressive. with the era of fast rotary and greater taper endodontics, cracks in root are becoming a common feature. we tend to please ourselves radiographically with big huge fillings ignoring the anatomy of the cannal and thus compromising the tooth structure and strength.
very well and neat sealing of the isthmus. only a master can do it.
thanks

Thank you dr. Scholl. I place a pellet in the bone crypt and leave it there until the surgery is finished. High concentration epinephrine anesthetics, pressure hemostasis and epinephrine pellets most of the times would be sufficient. Be carefully with the racellets in a maxillary sinus communication. You can have sterile saline if your dental unit have a Tank for delivering sterile saline. Most of the times the impact air 45 handpiece is used with water . You can perform the final rinse with sterile saline, or use a surgical motor for the apicoecTomy. Piezo surgery units are also an excellent choice!

Nice case. What is the protocol for hemostasis with the pellets? How do you set up your surgical high speed to flow sterile fluid onto the site? Thanks for the informative video

Thank you doctor. Preventive measures and risk factors follow in part II.

Dental Endoscopic Viewing System
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…

Endodontic-Restorative Symbioses: Diagnosis and Treatment
The success of endodontic treatment is comprised of proper diagnosis and treatment, which is easier to accomplish when the symptoms correlate to the clinical and radiographic findings. It is generally a more predictable treatment on anterior teeth as opposed to posterior teeth due to the number of canals and their internal configuration. A multidisciplinary approach has never been more essential to provide the patient with the best possible choices for treatment. Moreover, the general dentist and…
