Esthetics
Diagnostic
Evaluation and analysis of the symptoms
Vitality tests
Radiovisiography (digital X-ray)
Root canal treatment using Rotary handpiece (assisted by apex locator) with nickel-titanium files
Uniradicular:single root teeth, normally straight and easy to access, in general with only one canal.
Biradicular:teeth with two roots, normally straight and easy to access, in general with two to three canals.
Multiradicular:teeth with several roots, normally curved and difficult to access, presenting from 3 to 5 canals
Glass-fiber Endo-Post placement and endodontic fillings
