Sachin Gupta, Shikha Jaiswal and *Alina Moin

ABSTRACT

Curved or dilacerated root canals specially in the posterior region are a major challenge for clinicians during endodontic treatment. Procedural errors might take place when conventional instruments and techniques are used in such canals. Advent of newer file systems and improvement in metallurgy of the presently available NITI file systems along with novel tactile control activation technique has made the treatment of such curved canals less cumbersome. Thus, this case report discusses various aspects of root canal treatment while treating a dilacerated tooth.

Keywords: curved canals, dilaceration, tactile control activation.
