Q

danger with Man incisors

A

BEWARE: Mandibular Incisors are VERY NARROW M-D
We must be AWARE of this to avoid ruining the tooth by
tipping our access bur to the mesial or distal and drilling
out the side of the tooth
We must VISUALIZE the angulation of the unseen root in
both M-D and B-L directions

Q

“Incisal compromise”

A

Total straight-line access on all anteriors would involve access from the facial and create a weakening of the incisal edge and an esthetic issue.***

Q

outline

Maxillary first premolars canals, MD width, bur,

A

Maxillary first premolars have a B. & a L. canal in at least 85% of cases. M-D width of the access is no wider than a #4 round bur and the opening usually
extends from near the tip of the buccal cusp lingually as a narrow oval.

Maxillary second premolars outline

A

contain a second canal in at least 35% of cases and the access form is very similar to the first PM. If there is a single canal, it is centrally located and wide from B to L.

Q

Access on posteriors from the _______- surface always

A

***Access always gained through the occlusal approach on all posterior teeth.

30
Q

#canals %, where canal orfices located, width of root/access?

Access: Maxillary 1st Premolar

A

Thin Oval Access (width of #4)
Thin M-D root
Two canals most prevalent
85% two canals
9% one canal
6% three canals
Canal orifices lie under respective cusp tips

31
Q

most common error of the max pm

A

Not totally unroofed
Most Common Error

32
Q

max PM1 access
bur? remove? finish with? no wider than?

A

Use a #2 round bur
remove pulpal roof
finish with ENDO-Z bur
FINAL WIDTH OF ACCESS IS NO WIDER THAN #4 ROUND BUR

33
Q

max PM2 has two canals ___% of the time

A

23%

34
Q

Access: Maxillary Second Premolar
width/shape?
Slightly less_______extension than 1st
Most often Type what canals?
root number?
If one canal found but not in center F-L this means?
beware of what type of canals?

A

Access: Thin oval (width of #4)
Slightly less F-L extension than 1st
Most often Type I 1 root 1 canal (75-85%); Type II, III & IV less frequently

2 roots (15 -25%)
3 roots very rarely

If one canal found but not in center F-L, there are probably 2 canals, Beware Type IV, very hard to shape, clean and fill

35
Q

Mandibular PMs also have a very narrow _______width and access
extends from near the tip of the _______ cusp ________

A

Mandibular PMs also have a very narrow M-D width and access
extends from near the tip of the buccal cusp lingually.

36
Q

2 canals at PMs often?

A

rare and difficult

37
Q

how to find 2nd PM canalswith radiographs

A

fast breaks

38
Q

Access:Mandibular First Premolar
Access shape
Usually how many root/canal?
Type III?
Three canals ?

A

Access: thin oval
Usually one root, 1 canal
(type I), 73.5 %
Type III, 19.5 %***
Three canals less than 1%
Vertucci study

39
Q

law of color change

A

The color of the pulp chamber
is always darker than the surrounding walls.

40
Q

law of centrality

A
41
Q

law of concentricity

A
42
Q

law of the CEJ

A
43
Q

what tool should we use to find the canal entrance

A

endo explorer

44
Q

M or PM access more difficult? why?

A

molars
Attention to detail is much more complicated and compacted into a smaller area
Many new opportunities to mess up are presented

45
Q

worst error of access

A

perforation

46
Q

shape? why?

first man molar access

A

common probability of 2 distal canals (30%), we feel the wisest plan is to use the TRAPEZOIDAL FORM with rounded angles as shown.
The wider base of the form is to the Mesial (taking care to preserve the mesial marginal ridge) and extending only as far distally as to provide clear
access to the distal canals or canal.

47
Q

missed canal?

A

failed RCT

48
Q

when can you tell if the 1st man molar has 3/4 canals

A

when you enter pulp

49
Q

where would a singular D canal be on man M1

A

mid distal

50
Q

symmetry rule

A

B/L canals will be equidistant from a line drawn MD

51
Q

what can be seen at pulpal floor to lead to canal entry

A

dev black lines

52
Q

mostly seen at which M?

c shaped and middle mesial canals at Man M’s

A

2-8 % VARIABLE
tooth contains 3 or more canals associated by an irregular network of thread-like canals and areas that are variable in size, shape and complexity and are extremely difficult to find and worse to instrument. These are largely seen in 2nd molars.

Second molars in general are considerably more difficult than 1st molars which explains why Advanced Endo does all 2nd molars.

53
Q

third molar RCTs?

A

rarele done, little reason

54
Q

maxillary M canals, challenge?

A

4 canals most of the time (95%)
MB2 is biggest challenge, hard to find and thin

55
Q

max molars canal layout

A
56
Q

bur used to define the
walls as they meet the floor of the prep.

A

57
Q

law of sym does not apply to?

A

max molars

58
Q

are max molar variation rare? what to do with them?

A

not rare, refer

59
Q

Maxillary Molars are mechanically difficult why?

A

Maxillary Molars are mechanically
difficult as the MB2 canal may require
exceptional skill in locating and
shaping.
MB2 may require as much TIME as all
3 other canals in total !

60
Q

max I mutiple canals?

A

rare

61
Q

A

Single root + 1 canal = 60%
Single root +2canals = 40%

70
Q

man M1 variations
how many roots?
hw many canals at each?
rare case?

A

Usually 2 roots
Mesial = 2 canals 98%, 1 canal = 2%
Distal = 1 canal 70%, 2 canals 30%
Rare = 3 roots + 4 canals

71
Q
