Why Do Endodontic Treatments Fail, and When is Non-surgical Retreatment Indicated?
(2 CE Credits)

Root canal treatments usually fail if the treatment is carried out inadequately. However, there are some cases in which the treatment has followed the highest standards yet still results in failure. In most of the cases, the endodontic failure results from persistent secondary intra-radicular infection. Extra-radicular infections may also be implicated in the failure of some cases. In addition, it has been claimed that a few cases can fail because of intrinsic or extrinsic non-microbial factors.

The purpose of this lecture is to discuss the etiological factors of failed root canal treatments using a series of clinical cases. It attempts to aid the clinicians choose between surgical and non-surgical management of a failed root canal in an evidence-based manner. In order to maximize success of endodontic retreatment, indications for the non-surgical vs. surgical retreatment of failed endodontic cases are discussed.
