successful root canal treatment requires adequate knowledge regarding morphologic variations in root canal system of teeth. this report describes a six-canalled mandibular first molar with four mesial root canals requiring endodontic retreatment. the two additional canals in the mesial root were found during retreatment with the aid of illumination and magnification. in conclusion, the possibil...

Endodontic therapy has a high survival rate, but in cases of post-treatment pathosis, retreatment may be required. This case report presents a similar case of endodontic failure which resulted in a coexistent periradicular-periodontal lesion. The case was managed by nonsurgical endodontic retreatment followed by photodynamic therapy in the periodontal region. Satisfactory results were obtained ...

A flap tear occurred during laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) retreatment using a flap-lifting technique in 1 eye of 2 patients 4 to 5 months after the primary procedure. In the first case, the tear occurred in a decentered, standard thickness flap (168 mum) in a location close to the corneal limbus and limbal vessels. In the second case, the tear occurred in a well-centered thin flap (116 m...

For many years, gutta-percha has been the root canal filling material of choice. Chloroform is one of the most efficient solvents widely used for gutta-percha removal in retreatment cases, despite being toxic and carcinogenic. The present case report discusses a chloroform extrusion through an existing perforation to the surrounding periodontal ligament space and subsequent necrosis in supporti...

Results: The percentages of patients developing low IgG or IgM did not differ between groups after the 3rd cycle, but those with non-fixed retreatment tended to be higher. After 4 cycles, median IgM levels were significantly lower in both groups compared with pretreatment (p<0.05). Only patients in the fixed retreatment group receiving 4 cycles of treatment showed a significant drop in median I...
