Abstract
Continuous improvement and technological progress in the field of microscopic endodontics enable a gradual increase in indications for non-surgical root canal treatment. While most publications report successful surgical management of overfill or extruded foreign bodies into the periapical area, very few report that this complication can be successfully managed with non-surgical endodontic treatment. This case report presents successful management of a lower left second molar (tooth #37) diagnosed with exacerbated chronic apical periodontitis and massive overfill in a 36-year-old patient WITH non-surgical endodontic treatment AND bent H-file to remove extruded material under dental operating microscope control. It discusses technical aspects of this procedure, as well as its possible complications, including a sodium hypochlorite accident.
期刊介绍:
The Iranian Endodontic Journal (IEJ) is an international peer-reviewed biomedical publication, the aim of which is to provide a scientific medium of communication for researchers throughout the globe. IEJ aims to publish the highest quality articles, both clinical and scientific, on all aspects of Endodontics. The journal is an official Journal of the Iranian Center for Endodontic Research (ICER) and the Iranian Association of Endodontists (IAE). The Journal welcomes articles related to the scientific or applied aspects of endodontics e.g. original researches, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, review articles, clinical trials, case series/reports, hypotheses, letters to the editor, etc. From the beginning (i.e. since 2006), the IEJ was the first open access endodontic journal in the world, which gave readers free and instant access to published articles and enabling them faster discovery of the latest endodontic research.
