Achieving glide path in retreatments by removing safely the gutta percha and sealer from within the root canal is always a difficult step. The instruments used in endodontic retreatments have to meet many requirements that enables the clinician to be efficient, secure and conservative at the same time. When choosing the first file to start […]

In this article we are going to review how can we deal with the most hated canal in Endodontics from diagnosis to obturation.

Root resorption is a pathological process that may occur after surgical mechanical, chemical or thermal insult. Generally, it can be classified as internal and external root resorption. Depending on the diagnosis, biocompatible material like MTA can be used in management of these cases. General dental practitioners can face difficulties in diagnosis and treatment planning for […]

Our primary purpose in Endodontics is represented by the chance to preserve and maintain a tooth in place, even if previously treated. One of the indication for a retreatment is when the coronal seal is compromised. This clinical case highlights the daily practice with the predicability of the use of Retreaty kit by Perfect Endo.

The second maxillary premolar  may have 1 to 3 roots: with one root canal in 75-96% of cases, with two root canals in 4-24% and three root canals in 0-1%. Careful interpretation of preoperative radiographs is essential for providing insight into the number of existing root canals. In maxillary premolars with multiple roots and canals, […]

This particular case serves as an illustrative example of the application of correct rotary protocol in the execution of a root canal procedure within a mandibular first molar with calcified and missed canal, employing Retreaty files from Perfect Endo.

Amongst the different stages of endodontic retreatment, filling material removal may be performed by using manual files and rotary instruments. Further, desobturation may be associated with ultrasonic activation and different types of solvents, although they are currently used with less frequency. However, no retreatment technique is reliable enough to clean root canal system completely after reinstrumentation.

Abiding by the styleitaliano philosophy Retreaty kit allowed a more conservative way in retreatment cases by having 3 different alloys to help in managing the cases in feasible, teachable & repeatable approach

The primary objective in endodontics, whether primary treatment or retreatments, is the treatment of apical periodontitis as well as prevention of its recurrence. When we address retreatments, incomplete disinfection of the root canal system is considered as one of the most common causes of post treatment failures.  This article will discuss non-surgical retreatment of a […]

As endodontists we often encounter retreatment cases with procedural errors such as canal blockages, ledges, instrument fractures and perforations.  The ledge is defined as an iatrogenic deviation from the original canal path that does not communicate with the periodontal ligament. The presence of a ledge prohibits the files from reaching the canal terminus, resulting in […]

The field of endodontic retreatment is wide and the cases are variable according to the mishaps included. This article will deal with a short filling which was condensed despite having an apical blockage.
