Intraradicular post and core removal followed by endodontic retreatment: thirteen-year follow-up
Journal Title: RSBO - Year 2011, Vol 8, Issue 1
Abstract
Introduction: Endodontic retreatment, when properly indicated, allows the maintenance of dental elements. The evolution of endodontic techniques and materials has reduced the indication of surgical procedures even for teeth with intracanal posts. Case study: A 31 year-old patient related pain in tooth #12. After radiographic examination, the presence of a periapical lesion in teeth #12, #11, and #21 was found, which had already undergone to paraendodontic surgery and placement of intraradicular post and core. Treatment comprises the removal of the intracanal post and core, and the respective root canals were endodontically treated. Conclusion: The technique here exemplified, intracanal post removal and retreatment, proved to be well indicated and effective, since, at the 13-year follow-up appointment, the teeth remained without clinical and radiographic findings.
