Endodontic treatment of a geminated maxillary second molar using an endoscope as magnification device / T. Weinstein, S. Taschieri, G. Rosano, M. Del Fabbro. - In: INTERNATIONAL ENDODONTIC JOURNAL. - ISSN 0143-2885. - 43:5(2010), pp. 443-450. [10.1111/j.1365-2591.2010.01714.x]
Abstract:
Aim: To describe endodontic treatment for a rare case of gemination. Summary: A case of complex endodontic treatment in a geminated tooth is presented. With the assistance of microinstruments and magnification devices, a geminated maxillary second molar was successfully treated. In such a case, ultrasonic tips and the use of an endoscope were essential to detect the peculiar anatomy of the tooth involved. Key learning points: • Knowledge of anomalies concerning fused teeth is essential.• Using an endoscope as a magnification device is useful during the inspection of pulp chambers.• Ultrasonic tips are safe and useful to detect canal orifices.
