ReTreaty kit for conservative retreatments
There is a great trend of interest in minimally invasive treatments in endodontics. Is it possible to apply the same concept in Retreatments, where the previous therapy has failed?Can we change in some way our mindset?Is it possible to use as much as possible just a sequence like ReTreaty kit instead of many different files?
Challenges with retreatment of Russian red aka Resorcinol-formaldehyde teeth
Retreatment is considered a difficult manipulation that requires the knowledge, experience and technical equipment from the doctor. Resorcinol-formaldehyde therapy is no longer used as a medical material, but since the 1960s it was widely used in different countries, which increases the chance of such a patient getting into your daily practice. The article discusses the clinical scenarios developed because of the use of the mentioned material and ways to deal with it.

Retreatment of a first mandibular molar with three independent mesial canals
One of the most common causes of failure in endodontics is missing canals.
The middle canal in lower molars is not an exception and has been studied by numerous authors in the literature.
Its prevalence ranges from 0,28% to 53,8% and it’s specially presents in the mesial root.
Using different X-ray angulations or with the help of CBCT we can confirm its existence.
Understanding the anatomy of the teeth is a key factor for the success of our treatment.
In this case we are treating a previously treated lower molar with some hidden anatomy.
The braiding technique
In this article, we are going to explain the Braiding Technique, a predictable way to remove materials from inside root canals. For this technique, we will use Hedstroem files, and […]
Management of large floor perforation
Perforation (often of the floor) is one of the problem to solve that can happen when we start to do a retreatment. There is a lot of confusion and question […]
Endodontic retreatment of a mandibular first molar with missing Mid-Mesial canal
The presence or absence of periradicular disease is determined according to clinical and radiographic findings. This article will discuss the non surgical endodontic retreatment of a mandibular first molar with […]
Management of deep root perforations
Root perforation is a challenging situation when the root canal has a pathological communication with periradicular area. Perforations can occur as an iatrogenic accident during a root canal instrumentation and […]
Retreatment of Mandibular First Molar
There have been many recent technical advances in modern endodontics that have the potential to affect treatment outcomes. The purpose of this article is to determine the success of nonsurgical root […]
Overfilling: malpractice or procedure error? Management of an acute apical abscess resulting from an extruding GP single cone obturation
From a medico-legal aspect, extrusion of root canal filling might be considered malpractice if there is excessive extrusion of material combined with incomplete obturation of the canal leading to failure […]
Dealing with root filling residuals in root canal re-treatment
Non-surgical root canal re-treatment is one of the most dental procedures that practitioners face in routine daily work. Though, it remains one of the most challenging procedures, as we are […]
