Publication Anatomical variation of maxillary sinus mimicking a periapical cyst: A case report(Kathmandu University, 2005) Basnet, P; Kamath, MP; Kundabala, M; Menda, AMaxillary sinus can pose diagnostic dilemma radiographically because of its anatomical variation which can mimic a periapical pathosis. This case report deals with one such diagnostic problem, where a maxillary sinus was interpreted in an intraoral periapical radiograph as a periapical cyst. With the advances in imaging techniques, the use of an Ultrasound imaging together with application of Colour Power Doppler helped in revealing the contents of the radiolucent area and come up with an accurate diagnosis. Thus a thorough knowledge about the normal anatomy and its variations and proper diagnostic aids are essential in the diagnosis of periapical pathology.Publication Delayed replantation: Can it be a success?(Kathmandu University, 2008) Parolia, A; Kundabala, M; Shetty, N; Manuel, STAbstract This case report describes delayed replantation of an avulsed maxillary central incisor in a 17-year-old male patient following an injury on fall one day earlier. Avulsed maxillary right permanent central incisor was replanted back into the socket after extra-oral root canal treatment. One year follow up showed validity of treatment, with no evidence of resorption in the replanted tooth. Key words: Replantation, Maxillary central incisor, ResorptionPublication The retreatment of a mandibular second premolar with unusual canal anatomy(Kathmandu University, 2009) Pai, AEV; Gautam, S; Kundabala, MAbstract Mandibular premolars usually have a single root and canal. Complex root canal system with atypical variations is a common finding among them. Failure to identify such a one can affect the prognosis of endodontic treatment. Apart from knowledge and sophisticated instruments, a good clinical expertise is required in identifying, tracing and treating such a root canal system. This case report is on the retreatment of a left mandibular second premolar (44) having a Vertucci’s Type III canal configuration. Inability to identify this canal configuration led to a missed canal, faulty obturation and post treatment apical periodontitis
