Is this tooth hopeless?
The aim of endodontic treatment is to prevent or cure apical periodontitis. Root canal treatment is a predictable procedure with high survival rate. However, procedural problems such as broken instruments, ledge formation, transportation of the canal, root perforation and extrusion of the irrigants can affect the prognosis. On the other hand, patients demand the retention of their teeth more than ever before and this results in increasing necessity for the retreatment. Retreatment is easier with the help of Ni-Tis, irrigation systems, biomaterials and ultrasonic instruments. Even hopeless teeth can be saved. There is no doubt that both root canal treatment and retreatment of teeth are feasible and economical ways to preserve function. In this lecture, follow-up of some tricky cases will be presented and discussed.
