Figure Lengend Snippet: Clinical images during treatment. ( A ) It is noted that standard rubber dam isolation is consistently implemented for all cases. ( B ) A template accompanied by a metal sleeve #1 is utilized to ensure accurate and reproducible fitting on the teeth. ( C ) The teeth are equipped with a template accompanied by metal sleeve #1 to facilitate the removal of enamel and exposure of dentin, utilizing a round diamond bur. ( D ) The resulting image showcases the endodontic access cavity after the initial bur has been employed. ( E ) The template is replaced by metal sleeve #2. ( F ) A low-diameter bur is utilized in a pecking motion to drill through the metal sleeve #2, thereby achieving the desired path length. ( G ) View of the endodontic access cavity after root canal location. (H) The guide direction is consistent with the root canal direction
Article Snippet: Subsequently, root canals were dried using paper points and filled using gutta-percha cones (Gutta Percha Points, Endostar ® , Warszawa, Polad) and epoxy resin-based endodontic sealer (AH Plus; Dentsply DeTrey, Konstanz, Germany) via vertical condensation.
