In many instances, endodontic treatment modalities including nonsurgical root canal therapy, nonsurgical retreatment and surgical root canal therapy offer predictable means for patients to save their natural dentition. This presentation will explore expected outcomes for these three treatment modalities, as well as factors that impact prognosis in a statistically significant manner. By evaluating cases with respect to these factors, patients and clinicians alike can move forward with confidence in their treatment selections.

At the conclusion, participants should be able to:

  • Define success in endodontic treatment.
  • Discuss outcomes in nonsurgical root canal treatment, nonsurgical retreatment and surgical endodontics.
  • Evaluate factors that impact outcomes in a statistically significant manner.
