Topic Description :

To Retreat or Not to Retreat?

Abstract:
There are multiple reasons an initial root canal therapy may have been unsuccessful. Before taking on a retreatment case, the clinician must determine if there is an improvement to be made and, thus, a favorable prognosis to be obtained.

Descriptive studies have demonstrated that clinicians’ decision making regarding such teeth are subject to substantial variation. However, the attitude to the management of periapical lesions in endodontically treated teeth has been found to vary substantially among clinicians. Owing to their complexity, clinical decision problems have attracted interdisciplinary attention.

Learning Objectives:

  • Identifying causes of root canal treatment failure.
  • Proper diagnosis of post-treatment diseases.
  • Explore theories able to explain clinicians’ variation in the management of periapical lesions in endodontically treated teeth.
  • Accurately weighting the risks versus benefits prior commencing root canal treatment.
  • Improve the retreatment decision basis with regard to empirical facts and subjective values.
