Why Do Endodontic Treatments Fail
and When is Non-Surgical Retreatment Indicated?
(Case Presentations and Literature Review)
Presented by
Nima Dayani, DDS, MS
Root canal treatment typically fails when the treatment is carried out inadequately. However, there are some cases in which the treatment has followed the highest standards yet still results in failure. In most of these cases, the ndodontic failure results from persistent secondary intra-radicular infection, although extra-radicular infections may also be implicated in the failure of some cases. In addition, it has been claimed that a few cases can fail because of intrinsic or extrinsic non-microbial factors.
The purpose of this lecture is to discuss the etiological factors of failed root canal treatments using a series of clinical cases. It attempts to aid the clinicians choose between surgical and non-surgical management of a failed root canal in an Evidence-Based manner. In order to maximize success of endodontic retreatment, indications for the non-surgical vs. surgical retreatment of failed endodontic cases are discussed.
Course Objectives:
1. Identify the etiological factors leading to failed root canal therapies.
2. Understand the causes of failure.
3. Formulate a problem list.
