Description: The surgical solution to a conventionally treated tooth that has become refractory to healing was once considered the final step prior to extraction, and that it was a singularly occurring event. In light of contemporary techniques and technologies, are either of these statements true? Or should it be viewed as an extension of a current therapy, either surgical or non-surgical, in a process of revision and remodeling. When is it appropriate to consider a surgical intervention, especially in a tooth that has been previously surgically treated, and what metrics are we using to determine this? Is it a standalone procedure, or are outcomes enhanced with co-treatment options? What is the alternative if the conventional surgical options are exhausted? This presentation will examine the available literature for guidelines to these treatment decisions and, using multimedia, demonstrate various case scenarios and techniques.
- Implement the various imaging technologies in a “Virtual Surgery©” environment to develop an effective and appropriate treatment plan.
- Compare the traditional root end operative procedures with modern Piezo approaches a. Describe the process of PRESS fabrication, from image acquisition to final stent b. Contrast conventional root end surgical access with GPS assisted surgery (Navident™)
- Discuss the various root end preparation / filling materials and their appropriate applications

Description:
Many practitioners face the decision of how to treat a tooth with a history of unsuccessful endodontic treatment. This lecture will discuss how and when to approach this situation by either non-surgical or surgical retreatment. The expected outcome for either procedure using modern endodontic techniques will be reviewed, and the guiding principles for the correct indications discussed based on evidence-based dentistry and clinical cases.- Include the expected outcome of endodontic retreatment procedures in clinical treatment planning.
- Discuss the strategies of deciding between a non-surgical and surgical retreatment approach.
- Critically review common myths about non-surgical and surgical retreatment.
