Abstract

Background:  Negotiating and shaping the Severely curved root canals often present a challenging situation in their Endodontic treatment. An insight of canal anatomy, coronal preflaring, precurving of all the hand instruments and use of controlled memory files and new instrumentation techniques facilitates easy negotiation of canal curvature and maintenance of the shape without any procedural mishaps. The controlled regularly tapered preparation of the curved canals is the ultimate challenge in endodontics. Careful and meticulous technique will yield a safe and sufficient enlargement of the curved canals. This case series presents two such interesting cases of endodontic management of curved canals by using controlled memory files.

Keywords: Curved canal, Controlled memory files, Procedural mishaps.
