INTRODUCTION The purpose of this systematic review was to compare the clinical and radiographic outcomes of nonsurgical retreatment with those of endodontic surgery to determine which modality offers more favorable outcomes. METHODS The study began with targeted electronic searches of MEDLINE, PubMed, and Cochrane databases, followed with exhaustive hand searching and citation mining for all ...

Should a tooth with pulpal involvement be saved through endodontic therapy, or extracted and replaced with a single tooth implant? Within the limitations of the existing literature, this systematic review of treatment outcomes found that initial endodontic treatment had a high long-term survival rate, equivalent to replacement of a missing tooth with an implant-supported restoration. Single too...

introduction : root-end preparation and restoration with an endodontic material are required when nonsurgical endodontic retreatment has failed or is impossible. the present clinical study reports the treatment outcomes of periradicular surgery using calcium-enriched mixture (cem) cement. materials and methods: a prospective outcome study of periradicular surgery using cem was conducted on 14 p...

INTRODUCTION There have been many recent technical advances in modern endodontics that have the potential to affect treatment outcomes. Reports on treatment outcomes using contemporary techniques are relatively scarce, especially in the field of nonsurgical retreatment. The purpose of this study was to determine the success of nonsurgical root canal retreatment in molars using contemporary endo...

INTRODUCTION The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the clinical outcomes of endodontic microsurgery when super ethoxy-benzoic acid (Super EBA; Harry J. Bosworth, Skokie, IL) and mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) were used as root-end filling materials in a prospective randomized controlled study. METHODS Of the 388 teeth eligible for endodontic microsurgery, 128 teeth were excluded ...

INTRODUCTION Root canal treatment (RCT) success criteria inform us of the path to bony healing and of prognostic factors, but tell little about how the patient perceives, feels, or values RCT. Patients choose, undergo, and pay for RCT, they live with the result, and inform their community. The purpose of this narrative review was to appraise patient-centered outcomes of initial non-surgical RCT...

a healthy female was referred to endodontic department. the referral letter from her dentist expressed that an emergency pulpotomy of tooth #27 had been carried out with probable perforation of the chamber floor which was due to the unusual anatomy of the chamber. cone-beam computed tomography (cbct) revealed that the tooth had two mesial and two distal canals. perforation site was repaired and...
