Abstract

Green dentistry or eco-friendly dentistry, emerging as a new concept towards sustainability. Dentistry has a great impact on the environment due to the large amount of waste generated by various dental procedures along with excessive use of water and electricity, which emphasizes to move towards ‘Green dentistry’. Hence, conserves money and time with the innovation of latest techniques and procedures and inculcating it in our daily practice. Eco-friendly dentistry if adopted will safeguard the environment and the human race from the harmful risks of rapid urbanization in developing countries. Thus, there is a need to emphasize the practice of eco-friendly dentistry in a developing country like India, with an approach to conserve resources and curb environment pollution.

Keywords

Abstract

Mandibular premolars are one of the most difficult teeth to treat endodontically as it shows high incidences of aberrant ischolar_main canal anatomy. Complete cleaning and shaping with copous irrigation is the key to successful endodontic treatment. Careful understanding of the internal anatomy and morphology of the ischolar_main canal system is an important task when performing cleaning and shaping procedures. This article describes mandibular second premolars with Vertucci Type II ischolar_main canal anatomy, treated successfully by conventional endodontic treatment.

Keywords

Abberant Anatomy, Mandibular Second Premolar, Root Canal Anatomy, Vertucci.

Abstract

Elimination of microbes from ischolar_main canals and impeding of further reinfection is the objective behind an endodontic treatment. This is achieved by overall disinfection and shaping of canals which can then be filled using a three-dimensional filling with a fluid-tight seal. However, this process becomes complicated with the presence of additional ischolar_main canal systems. To achieve these goals, the clinician must have proper knowledge of regular anatomy and anatomic variants of ischolar_main canals. One such variant configuration in mandibular molars is the presence of a third canal in the mesial ischolar_main called middle-mesial canal. The purpose of the present article is to report successful non-surgical retreatment of a mandibular first molar with earlier missed Middle Mesial Canal.

Keywords
