Journal of oral hygiene and Health is overwhelmed by the response and eagerness of the academic and research contributors to publish within the journal and take part in the year-long celebrations.

Failure to identify and treat all canals within the root canal system is a major reason for endodontic failure. The morphological variations of the maxillary first molar have been the subject of many studies, with most studies focusing on multiple canals within the mesiobuccal root, but maxillary molars may also have fins, isthmi, lateral canals, and in this case, additional palatal canals. Identification and treatment of all canals and anatomical variations is vital for a successful endodontic outcome. Methods: A maxillary first molar with pulpal necrosis and asymptomatic apical periodontitis due to a deep carious lesion was accessed for root canal treatment under a dental operating microscope. Four canals were minimally instrumented to an apical size #20 and treated with the GentleWave® Procedure. The GentleWave Procedure involves Multisonic Ultracleaning™ that creates cavitation with activated distilled water, sodium hypochlorite and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA).

Successful root canal treatment depends on the identification, cleaning, shaping, and obturation of the entire root canal system. Failure to identify and treat all root canals lowers the long-term prognosis of the tooth and is a major reason for endodontic failure. Variations in canal configurations make root canal systems a challenge to locate and negotiate. Maxillary molars most commonly have 3 roots, but there is considerable variation and complexity in the root canal systems within those roots. 

The Journal is successfully running in the 8th Volume which covers a wide variety of Researchers of Oral Hygiene and Dental Health discipline are encouraged to publish innovative ideas in the international platform and peer reviewed journal of oral care and hygiene with good Impact factor. Oral hygiene, oral cancer, and oral surgery are some of the most evolving sectors of dental sciences, which still need more findings and communication.
