Root-end Surgery or Nonsurgical Retreatment: Are There Differences in Long-term Outcome?
CE Hours: 1.0
Description: The decision of which modality of secondary endodontic treatment to perform is multifactorial and clinician dependent. The literature surrounding the long-term survival of nonsurgical retreatment compared with surgical retreatment remains equivocal and warrants further investigation. This 7-year retrospective study seeks to compare the outcome of nonsurgical retreatments with that of root-end surgeries performed on teeth without prior nonsurgical retreatment.
- Evaluate the outcome of nonsurgical retreatments with that of root-end surgeries performed on teeth without prior nonsurgical retreatments.
- Identify the best treatment modality for a failed non-surgical root canal therapy
- Discuss the pros and cons of root-end surgery and nonsurgical retreatment.
