Abstract

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