In this clinical case preview, Dr. Gianluca Gambarini demonstrates a successful nonsurgical orthograde retreatment of a maxillary left first molar in a 62-year-old female patient presenting with persistent mastication discomfort. Guided by a CBCT scan that revealed a previously untreated, highly narrow, and double-curved second mesiobuccal (MB2) canal alongside a periapical lesion, Dr. Gambarini utilized the EdgeOne R Utopia™ R20 single-file reciprocating system to safely negotiate the complex anatomy. The case highlights how the instrument’s proprietary heat treatment and reciprocating motion reduce torsional stress, resist cyclic fatigue, and maintain canal integrity without requiring a separate glide path. The procedure was completed efficiently using a biocompatible single-cone obturation with bioceramic sealer, resulting in a fully asymptomatic patient within days and showcasing a highly conservative approach to complex endodontic challenges.
