Abstract

This article describes the endodontic treatments of two cases of chronic apical periodontitis with a root fracture or perforation, using an intracanal endoscope, which enabled a more accurate diagnosis. In addition, the combined use of an Er:YAG laser under endoscopic observation allowed a minimally invasive therapy. The intracanal endoscope might be a useful device in resolving endodontic problems, in combination with a cone beam computed tomography and operating microscope.
