When Anatomy Fights Back: retreatment of a C-shaped mandibular second molar
Re-treatment of C-shaped mandibular molars demands 3D cleaning and sealing beyond files; a stepwise strategy improves predictability.
Transforming a Non-Visible Separated File into a Visible Fragment: A Conservative Retrieval Approach
Instrument separation is a well-recognized complication in endodontic practice, and its management can significantly influence the long-term prognosis of the tooth. While some fractured instruments are readily visible and accessible, others remain hidden, particularly when located beyond canal curvatures. Non-visible fragments pose a greater challenge, as blind retrieval attempts risk excessive dentin removal, perforation, or structural weakening of the root.
Detection and Management of a Missed Middle Mesial Canal: CBCT and Operating Microscope-Guided Retreatment. A Case Report
Mandibular molar retreatment due to an missed middle mesial canal. CBCT and Operanting Microscope are essential to identify the etiology and achieve three-dimensional disinfection. A Case Report
Root - Crown -Tissue: The Tooth Salvage Concept
An interdisciplinary approach to dental treatment enables successful clinical outcomes and allows for the long-term functionality of seemingly hopeless teeth. A crucial stage in tooth preservation is the development of […]
Retreatment of a Mandibular Second Molar with a Periapical Lesion in a C-Shaped Canal
Endodontic retreatment of a mandibular second molar with a C-shaped canal configuration presents unique clinical challenges due to its complex and variable anatomy. C-shaped canals, are commonly found in mandibular […]
Non-Surgical Retreatment of Tooth 46 with Stripping Perforation: A Case Report
This case details the non-surgical retreatment of tooth 46 in a 40-year-old female presenting with symptomatic apical periodontitis. Clinical and radiographic evaluation revealed a poorly adapted crown, metallic posts, secondary […]
NSRCT OR EXTRACTION?
The introduction of implant dentistry, in some cases, eliminated the need for non-surgical endodontic retreatment as well as the need for apical surgery. Proverb says: «When you have a hammer, […]
Antique Silver replaced by conventional Gutta percha: A Retreatment Revival
This clinical case presents the nonsurgical endodontic retreatment of a mandibular first molar initially obturated with silver points. The tooth exhibited persistent periapical pathology and contained a missed, partially calcified […]
Reciprocating motion in retreatment
The R-One Mini System from Fanta Dental is an advanced reciprocating file system designed for efficient and conservative root canal shaping. In case of retreatment the reciprocating motion is a real key point to achieve a new patency inside the root.
Retreatment with pre-endodontic build up of a first upper premolar
The success of endodontic treatment depends on removing microorganisms from root canal system, three dimensionally sealing and the placement of a good coronal seal to prevent communications between oral cavity […]
The importance of magnification to manage ledge/perforation
Retreatment are always a challenge. One of the most difficult things is to manage ledge or/and perforation into a canal. When we have to work inside the canal the use […]
Management of nonsurgical retreatment and final restoration.
The management of nonsurgical retreatment has proven to be an effective alternative in dentistry for preserving natural teeth. Studies indicate that success rates may decline due to anatomical factors overlooked […]
