Description:
It is a sad fact that the quality of endodontic treatment worldwide is poor and with this the incidence of endodontic disease is high. This is excellent ammunition for those dentists who see implants as better alternative to endodontics.
A poorly root treated tooth can be extracted or retreated. Understanding the cause of failure in primary endodontic treatment will help the general practitoner decide what cases can be retreated.
The huge advances in endodontic technology such as the microscope and ultrasonics have simplified endodontic retreatment procedures to a level of consistent predictability where success in terms in elimination of disease and retention of the tooth in function can be a realistic outcome.
The lecture will review the causes of success and failure and the scope of endodontic retreatment. The multimedia presentation will look at post removal, GP, carrier based obturation, separated instrument removal as well as perforation repair with MTA and Biodentine.
Our patients want predictable outcomes and we can achieve this for them with tooth retention as the final goal
