  3. Endoclip - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endoclip

    When a treatable lesion is identified on endoscopy (such as a bleeding vessel), an endoclip can be inserted through the channel of the endoscope until the sheathed clip is visible on the endoscopic image, and the handle for deployment handed to the nurse assistant. The clip is unsheathed by retraction at the handle, positioned, and "fired" by ...

  4. Regenerative endodontics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regenerative_endodontics

    During the second visit, which is after 3 weeks, the tooth was accessed for any signs and symptoms. Hence, the asymptomatic tooth is proceeded to the next step of regenerative endodontic treatment. Bleeding was induced by overinstrumenting beyond the root with a thin instrument (known as file)) to form a blood clot.

  5. Endodontic files and reamers - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endodontic_files_and_reamers

    Miscellaneous endodontic instruments. From left: Lentulo spiral, reamer, K-file and H-file. Hand files can provide tactile sensation when cleaning or shaping root canals. This allows the dentist to feel changes in resistance or angulation, which can help determine curvature, calcification and/or changes in anatomy, in which two dimensional radiographs may not always identif

    In mature teeth, root canal treatment is usually performed Non-emergency: removal of loose fragment (following gingivectomy, surgery or via orthodontics), root canal treatment and restoration with post-retained crown In extreme cases (such as a vertical fracture), tooth may need to be extracted 6–8 weeks: clinical and radiographic examination

  7. Periradicular surgery - Wikipedia

    Periradicular surgery should be very considered where previous endodontic treatment has failed, and possible re-root treatment is the preferred option. [4] If re-root treatment is not possible, will not correct the problem or patient factors prevent it, periradicular surgery is indicated. [5] [6] [7]

  8. Dental extraction - Wikipedia

Secondary bleeding. This type of bleeding usually begins 7 to 10 days post extraction, and is most likely due to infection destroying the blood clot or ulcerating local ...

  9. Root canal - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Root_canal

    An unusual root canal shape, complex branching (especially the existence of horizontal branches), and multiple root canals are considered as the main causes of root canal treatment failures. (e.g. If a secondary root canal goes unnoticed by the dentist and is not cleaned and sealed, it will remain infected, causing the root canal therapy to fail).
