Endodontic retreatment: expect the unexpected
The goal of an endodontic treatment is to disinfect the root canal system. This will facilitate the resolution of inflammation and the alleviation of symptoms. Failure to achieve this goal means that parts of the root canal system will not be thoroughly cleaned and will carry on containing a significant population of bacteria. This fact […]
Re-treatment Decoding : obturation dilemma
In this article we are going to share how to manage an upper first molar in a predictable way for a long-term successful re-treatment.
Non-Surgical Root Canal ReTreatment of Failed Apicoectomy with the Use of MTA cement
Teeth with previous apical resection and persistent apical periodontitis are usually re-treated surgically or with a combination of non-surgical and surgical re-treatment. Alternatively, nonsurgical orthograde treatment of failed apicoectomy can be performed using the apical barrier technique used for apical closure of nonvital teeth with apical resorption or immature nonvital teeth. Mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) […]
Expanding the limits of Tooth Restorability
Nowadays, it is a common thing to have patients with extensive dental tissue loss because of caries. However, high magnification and the use of new technology and techniques help us to save teeth that not long ago would be considered for extraction. A patient, with clear medical history, was referred for evaluation of restorability and […]
Optimizing Endodontic Outcomes through Selective Root Retreatment
In field of endodontic retreatment, the traditional dichotomy between non-selective nonsurgical methods and selective surgical interventions has been redefined by advances in CBCT imaging. This technological leap has facilitated the development of a contemporary method that amalgamates the conservative nature of nonsurgical techniques with the precision of surgical selectivity. This novel, minimally invasive approach allows […]
The so called “bioceramics”… Easy to place, less easy to remove!
Calcium silicate based cements have many positive features, however they can be difficult to remove if a retreatment is necessary.

Root Canal Retreatment of UL4 using the MG3 system from Perfect: A case report
Root canal retreatments have always been the elefant in the room. The preoperative X-ray may or may not predict future difficulties, thus the clinician has to stay constantly alert for any unplanned situations that have to be managed. Nonclinical curvatures, separated files, ledges, perforations and much more circumstances can be completely camouflaged inside a common […]
