Clin Case Rep. 2020 Nov 29;9(1):437-444. doi: 10.1002/ccr3.3551. eCollection 2021 Jan.

Abstract

The complexity of the nonsurgical endodontic retreatment should be weighed against the benefit of surgical approach. This case report describes uncommon diagnosis and successful nonsurgical endodontic management of mandibular first premolar with a previous history of failed apicoectomy and incomplete root-end resection using mineral trioxide aggregate and cone-beam computed tomography.

Keywords: cone‐beam computed tomography; failed apicoectomy; mineral trioxide aggregate; nonsurgical retreatment; periapical periodontitis.
