• For decades, endodonty followed the evolution of dentistry. It has become more and more scientific in comparison with the empirism that prevailed in the previous generations. One would have thought that this evolution would reduce the mechanization of the dental treatments. It did not. The new techniques and materials are being inspired by a simplified catheterism, reliable, semiautomatised but remaining eminently mechanical and tending to become more and more so.

• La fracture d’instruments canalaires, lors d’un traitement endodontique, compromet la guérison de l’organe dentaire. Nous avons envisagé les différentes causes des fractures instrumentales et passé en revue les différentes familles d’instruments susceptibles de se briser lors de nos manoeuvres thérapeutiques. Nous avons ensuite envisagé les situations diverses devant lesquelles nous pouvons nous trouver.

• L’antiseptie est aléatoire quand on ne peut éliminer le milieu organique de culture microbienne. L’obturation canalaire artificielle est imparfaite et peut avoir une action pathogène. La regénération rapide de l’os périapical peut être suivie de celle d’un tissu pulpaire dentigène. La croissance dentinaire inachevée se poursuit alors jusqu’à son terme obturateur canalaire. Dans ce concept iatrologique nouveau, l’Odontologie conservatrice devien “regénératrice”.

• Le moignon ectodontique recouvert et enveloppé par une couronne, scellé habituellement par un ciment-colle, est souvent le siège d’infiltrations et d’infections torpides. Par contre, un oxyde de calcium de structure “loude” permet d’obtenir un scellement d’un type très particulier (expanso-compressif), qui pénètre les tubulis, recalcifie la dentine, colmate les failles et fissures, et détruit toute infiltration hydro-organo-septique.

• L’Endodontie a suivi l’évolution de toute la dentisterie depuis des décennies. Elle est devenue de plus en plus scientifique, par comparaison à l’empirisme qui domina dans les générations qui nous ont précédés. On aurait pu penser que cette évolution réduirait la mécanisation de nos actes: on s’aperçoit qu’il n’en est rien. Les techniques ou matériaux récents s’inspirent d’un cathétérisme simplifié, fiable, semi-automatisé ou automatisé, mais restent éminemment mécaniques et ont tendance à l’être de plus en plus.

• L’analyse à la seconde électronique de racines traitées par l’oxyde de calcium, lourd ou léger, permet de mettre en évidence un apport de calcium dans les tubuli dentinaires: il y a une variation considérable dans la teneur en calcium, entre les points d’analyse dans les tubuli et les points de dentine correspondants; cette variation atteint pour les dents traitées à l’Hexocalex, une différence de 60%, et de 20% pour les dents traitées au Biocalex. Cette valeur en calcium des tubuli des dents non traitées ou traitées à la pâte de Robin, est pratiquement la même que celle trouvée dans la dentine adjacente.

• The goal of this in vitro study was to evaluate the relative cytocompatibility of three endodontic materials: calcium hydroxyde, a calcium oxide-based compound and a zinc oxide-eugenol-based sealer. The evaluation was conducted 24, 72 and 168 hours following contact with the compounds and involved three complementary techniques : a colorimetric cytotoxicity test, scanning electron microscopy and flow cytometry. The results we obtained confirmed the initial cytotoxicity of the zinc oxide-eugenol-based sealer and showed that the calcium oxide-based compound had the same relative cytocompatibility as calcium hydroxide.

• Electronic second analysis of roots treated with light or heavy calcium oxide makes it possible to detect a contribution to calcium to dentinal tubuli. There is a considerable variation in the calcium content between the analysis points in the tubuli and the corresponding points in the dentin. For teeth treated with Hexocalex this variation is as high as 60%, and 20% for teeth treated with Biocalex. Thsi calcium value for the tubuli of untreated teeth or teeth treated with Robin’s paste is virtually the same as the value found in the adjacent dentin.

One of the main producers of these interferences are root canal fillings, specially due to the type of material used as filling cement. With this study, we offer a management alternative where the antihomotoxic substance Traumeel is used as a replacement for conventional substances, thus opening new deepening lines in order to consolidate its usage.

• Après le “plombage” simpliste de nos ancêtres, nous sommes amenés à contester aujourd’hui les thérapies endodontiques classiques qui emploient des antiseptiques dont l’action est incertaine, insolite et contradictoire. La mutation propose réside dans la thérapie ocalexique. Mais cette technique impose au praticien un effort de simplicité opératoire qui lui paraît paradoxal parce qu’il s’oppose aux usages et aux préjugés.

Dental students and residents in Endodontics have been taught to perform various procedures to save injured, dead, and dying teeth. These procedures were taught purely to help the public, with absolutely no other reason. … However, today, there has been some revealing research which may require the dental profession to reconsider conventional ideas about endodontically treated teeth.

• Based on a 25 year extensive study by respected researcher, Dr. Westin Price, scientific data suggests that root canal therapy is the cause of many systemic diseases and illnesses. Although root canal therapy is usually successful in eliminating pain and swelling associated with dead teeth, and in allowing those dead teeth to remain in the mouth to function, the side effects may be hazardous to overall health. It is estimated that only about 30% of the population has a healthy enough immune system to ward off the side effects.

• X-ray images of an infected tooth are usually obtained prior to the procedure, and the length of the root canal is estimated by measuring the length of the root canal image formed on the X-ray film. However, this approach portrays only a two-dimensional image; a three-dimensional image is required in order to accurately determine the shape and length of the root canal. This system generates a three-dimensional mathematical model of the root canal and calculates the length of the root canal based on the model.

• A devital (de-vitalize, ‘dead’ ) nerve usually leads eventually to infection with its resulting pain and swelling. We must be very careful to point out here, however, that just because pain and swelling occur does not necessarily mean a root canal is required. Literally millions of root canals have been done when in reality there was no need for this procedure. This is because the dental profession frequently misconstrues gum tissue abscesses as being nerve abscesses. Gum tissue infection can be healed and the problem might be resolved without having a root canal.
