CE Hours: 1.0

Description: This randomized clinical trial aimed to compare the effectiveness of endodontic retreatment of teeth with posttreatment apical periodontitis (PTAP) performed in 1 visit versus 2 visits on the reduction of cultivable bacteria (colony-forming units [CFUs]), lipopolysaccharides (LPSs), lipoteichoic acid (LTA), and the periapical lesion volume (mm3) after 18 months of follow-up.

  • Compare the effectiveness of endodontic retreatment performed in one visit versus two visits on teeth with post-treatment apical periodontitis (PTAP).
  • Assess the periapical lesion volume (mm3) of teeth with post-treatment apical periodontitis (PTAP) who underwent endodontic retreatment in one or two visits after an 18-month follow-up period.
  • Evaluate the efficacy of endodontic treatment in one or two visits, taking into account microbiological and tomographic features.
