Retreatment considerations: Managing paste root fillings and complex anatomy in anterior teeth
Overview
This video focuses on the challenges and strategies involved in retreating a lower molar tooth with paste root fillings and complex anatomical features. Emphasising the need for systematic assessment and careful execution.
Key topics covered
- Understanding the systematic approach to reach a good outcome
- Importance of the prevent transportation of coronal material as we work our way down
- Removing existing obturation
- Having a proper plan and not jumping too fast
- Approaches to restoring a lower molar tooth using a dual-cure resin material as the core build-up
Clinical relevance
The video provides insights into the challenges of working in retreatment cases with paste root fillings, and allows clinicians to understand techniques to improve the process. Emphasis is on the good planning, careful execution and a good final restoration.
