Study Notes

Anatomy and Morphology of Teeth

  • Pulp space shape reflects the external form of the tooth.
  • Factors affecting canal morphology include age, race, irritants (caries, abrasion, erosion, trauma), calcification (pulp stones), and resorption (internal and external).

Resorption Types

  • Internal resorption: Involves a defect on the internal aspect of the root due to chronic inflammation and bacterial invasion; characterized by symmetric lesions and smooth margins on radiographs.
  • External resorption: Starts in the periodontium and affects external tooth surfaces; may invade pulpal space; identified by irregular margins on radiographs and followable canal continuity.

Tooth Fusion and Shape Alterations

  • Fusion: Two developing tooth buds combine, forming one large tooth; roots or canals may be separate or joined.
  • Gemination: An incomplete split of a single tooth germ results in two joined crowns with a single root/canal.
  • Concrescence: Fusion of two fully formed teeth only by cementum, typically between maxillary 2nd and 3rd molars.
  • Dilaceration: Extraordinary curving or angulation of the root.

Weine's Classification of Canal Morphology

  • Based on number of canal orifices, root canals, and apical foramina for single-rooted teeth.
  • Type I: One orifice, one canal, one apical foramen.
  • Type II: Two orifices, two canals, one apical foramen.
  • Type III: Two orifices, two canals, two apical foramina.
  • Type IV: One orifice, two canals, two apical foramina.

Access Opening Objectives

  • Unroof the pulp chamber to locate canal orifices.
  • Achieve straight-line access for better instrument control.
  • Conserve tooth structure during the procedure.
  • Ensure correct outline form regarding size, shape, position, and internal form.

Access Techniques

  • Straight-line access allows better control, reduced procedural errors (ledging, transporting, zipping), and improved obturation.
  • Endodontic files should be deflected upon reaching the first curve in the canal's middle or apical third.

Common Endodontic Issues

  • Leding: Instrument deviates from the canal path.
  • Transporting: Continuing straight from a ledged path.
  • Zipping: Creating an artificial apical foramen.

Average Lengths and Classifications of Anterior Teeth

  • Maxillary central incisor: Average length 23 mm, classified as Type I (straight - 75%).
  • Maxillary lateral incisor: Average length 23 mm, also Type I.
  • Maxillary canine: Average length 26.5 mm, longest tooth, Type I classification.
  • Mandibular central incisor: Average length 21 mm, Type I predominates.
  • Mandibular lateral incisor: Average length 21 mm, also Type I.
  • Mandibular canine: Average length 26 mm, Type I mostly.

Root Canal Shapes

  • Maxillary incisors have an oval root canal in the coronal third (widest mesiodistally) and round in the apical third.
  • Maxillary lateral incisors: Oval shape in the coronal third (widest buccolingually).
  • Maxillary canines: Oval in the coronal third (widest faciolingually) and round in the apical third.

Access Forms for Anterior Teeth

  • Maxillary Central Incisor Access: Triangle shape, middle 1/3 placement, >2 mm from incisal edge, smooth internal form.
  • Maxillary Lateral Incisor Access: Rounded triangle or oval shape, similar placement and internal form to central incisors.
  • Maxillary Canine Access: Oval shape and placement with similar internal forms to incisors.

Access Steps for Anterior Teeth

  • Establish initial outline form of 1/2 to 3/4 of final.
  • Penetration of pulp chamber roof and removal to identify canal orifice.
  • Smooth internal surfaces with Endo Z bur.

Instrumentation and Bur Usage

  • Use #2 or #4 round bur perpendicular to the lingual surface during initial penetration of enamel.
  • Change from perpendicular to parallel during pulp chamber penetration using #2 or #4 FG or latch type bur.
  • DG 16 utilized for identifying canal orifices.
  • Gates-Glidden drills or proper gold SX rotary files recommended for removing lingual shelf.
