   Abstract:	Two hundred and sixty major apical foramina were examined stereomicroscopically to determine the contours of the apical foramen and the frequency of each shape. The observation was performed at 15 x magnification. During the examination the following shapes were observed: circle, ellipse, teardrop, number eight and irregular forms. Apical foramen most frequently had the circular shape and it was registrated in 58.8 per cent of the main root canal openings. The elliptic contour was presented in 22.7 per cent, the teardrop shape in 10.4 per cent and the shape similar to number eight occurred in 5.0 per cent of the samples. The statistical calculation revealed that the circular shape of the apical foramen is the most frequent finding (p less than 0.01). This finding seems to be optimistic in an attempt to perform the hermetic sealing of the apical foramen.

   Abstract:	The root canal therapy of the curved canals is a complex operative procedure. Therefore 260 root canals were analysed radiologically to determine the frequency and the most common localisation of the root canal curvature. The frequency of the curved canals averaged at 59%, being greater in the sample of posterior than in the anterior teeth (p less than 0.05). The root canal curvature was most frequently localised at the apical third part (53.9%), followed by the cervical (33.3%) and the middle (12.8%) third part. The apical curvature was predominant in the sample of the anterior, while the cervical predominant (45.2%) in the sample of the posterior teeth. This study pointed out that the frequency of the curved canals is rather high. Consequently, the necessity for practising the modern root canal preparation techniques, bearing in mind their potential danger, is emphasized.

   Abstract:	Two hundred and thirty permanent roots were examined stereomicroscopically to determine the frequency of apical, lateral and furcational accessory canals. The frequency of apical accessory canals averaged 19.6% and lateral 8.3%. The furcational accessory canals were observed in 32.0% of all furcations. These findings emphasize the necessity for undertaking the meticulous disinfection and qualitative obturation of endodontic space.

   Abstract:	A procedure of intracanal preparation of a cuneiform with cervical extension using a step-back technique is described. The length of the root canal is determined by multiple electric measurement. First, the initial measurement of the canal length (I1) is performed. The measured length is then transferred to the initial extender (No. 15), whereafter extirpation of the pulp and removal of circumpulpal dentin begin. Then the extender NO. 20 is reduced by 1 mm, and the extender No. 25 by 2 mm. When the canal have been narrowed and bent, further extenders are used to additionally reduce the working length by 1 mm more. When the pulp has been extirpated, the second canal length measurement (12) is performed, then starting to form the canal. In phase 1, the apical third from the initial (IAF) to the leading file (MAF) is treated and the cervical extension of the canal prepared by a bur drill. In further instrumentation, each next file is reduced by 1 mm of the measured canal length (12), thus shaping the canal by filling, using a step-back method. Files according to Hedström should be used thereby. Shaping of the canal is completed by a file by four numbers greater than the leading (MAF) one.
