- A new case study number: 411716: "The dental operative microscope and the MTA tooth perforation repair. The impossible made possible". This new post in NEW CASES is also featuring a video sequence showing what can be seen through my Zeiss OPMI PRO ergo dental operative microscope. This video is a provisional one, the real McCoy will replace this one soon enough. (I still have to master I Movie and Youtube processes, hopfully it should not be too long, I have got some support from my 13 years old daughter).
- A nice comment left on post number: 297716 from Dr Juan C Mesia, a GP in Florida who also wanted to know what kind of files I was using and the sequence I used for curved canals. I gave an answer and I also added my four rules of thumb in shaping and cleaning ANY root canal systems. The answers are right there! However, there should be a fift rule: Always adapt your ISO K files shape to the suspected canal curvature in order to reach the apex.
- A nice comment left on post number: 483136 from Dr Nguyen at hotmail.com who also had a concern about sealer overfill showing on my postoperative X Ray film. I readily refered him to an interesting article written by Stephen L. Buchanan who (among other things) addressed this topic in the 2010 January issue of Dentistry Today: Tapered Shaping can make your life easier!

some people believe that benefits of a root canal treatment don’t last. This is owing to consequent breaking of teeth after treatment. According to veteran dental experts, this is not the treatment failure but rather the failure in restoration or construction of tooth. Breakage mainly happens to those who fail to get crowns. Therefore, the benefits can last long.

Thanks for the post Emma,
This fact is absolutly thrue!
I went through the all blog http://www.rootcanalprocedure.org/root-canal-problems/ and I found that the given info to patient was up to date and accurate. This was probably written by an experienced dentist. I would very much like to add a link to this blog in my frontpage “patient info” section. I mean if this is OK with the Blog owner.
