Managing missed canals and assessing tooth viability in endodontic retreatment: An upper left first molar case study
Overview
This video presents a clinical case involving the retreatment of an upper left first molar, exploring the diagnostic challenges of missing anatomy and the clinical considerations for assessing tooth restorability.
Key topics covered
- Assessing teeth based on case presentation
- Managing previously endodontically treated teeth
- The importance of treating missed anatomy to be successful and the role of CBCT
Clinical relevance
This case should assist clinicians with endodontic retreatments, providing important points that lead to better knowledge on the treatment that may be implemented.
