ACJ Quiz – Endo Perforation

Apical perforation is a kind of perforation happening at the 1/3rd apical part of the root.

Apical perforation is a kind of perforation happening at the 1/3rd apical part of the root.

the X ray is showing a gates gliden perforating the lateral surface of the tooth

The X-ray clearly visualizes a radiopaque mass—representing the Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA)—located in the pulpal floor/furcation area. This finding confirms the non-surgical repair of an iatrogenic furcation perforation by the endodontist

The x-ray reveals a strip perforation in the mesial canal, a common occurrence in curved roots, that resulted from the preparation process.

Lateral perforations, typically occurring in the mesial canals of molars, are often observed in curved canals, as evidenced by X-ray imaging.

Apical perforation is a kind of perforation happening at the 1/3rd apical part of the root.

the radiograph appears to show a sealer puff beyond the apex, this is not indicative of an apical perforation. A sealer puff refers to the extrusion of root canal sealer material into the periapical tissues, which can occur during obturation.

Lateral perforations, typically occurring in the mesial canals of molars, are often observed in curved canals, as evidenced by X-ray imaging.

Lateral perforations,  although the tooth shows sealer puff (not gutta) going out of the perforated area, it still shows the perforation

This x-ray does not show perforation but it shows ledge formation.

The X-ray shows a broken instruments going through the apical foramen that is a definition of the apical perforation

this tooth shows sealer puff extrusion not apical perforation

the tooth shows broken file in mesial canal and apical perforation

the tooth 3.1 shows sealer puff not perforation

the tooth # 4.6 shows extra root and a perfect root canal treatment

tooth shows ealer puff not perforation
