Introduction:The proper cleaning and reshaping of the root canal space is of great importance for the good outcome of the retreatment case. None of the different methods and instruments used for filling material removal during endodontic retreatment exhibit 100% effectiveness. Aim: The aim of the current review article is to observe the contemporary supplementary approaches used in endodontic retreatment. Materials and Methods: Articles within the last 10 years were reviewed in light of the most commonly used supplementary techniques. Conclusion: Supplementary approaches show sophisticated results in filling remnants removal which leads to аbetter outcome of the endodontic retreatment cases.
Introduction:Complete root canal filling material removal is essential for the good outcome of the secondary endodontic treatment. Different methods and hand and rotary instruments have been proposed for better filling removal. Aim: The aim of this article is to review the most commonly used approaches for removal of canal filling materials, analysing the scientific data from the last 10 years mainly. Materials and Methods: Articles related to the problem were reviewed with the aim to summarize the techniques mostly used in retreatment protocols and the effectiveness of the NiTi instruments for removing the root canal filling materials. Conclusion: None of the techniques described in the up-to-date scientific literature is considered 100% effective in removing of root filling materials. Supplementary approaches have to be introduced for more efficient cleaning of the root canal walls, ensuring better prognosis of the endodontic retreatment cases in the daily dental practice.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
