Endodontic Retreatment - Another Tooth Saved!

DX: Prior RCT w/ Chronic Apical Abscess
Huge periapical lesion noted. A thin, short (mesial) and long (distal) obturation.
Retreatment recommended.

Retreatment completed.

4 month initial healing seen.

2 yr recall shows fantastic healing. This tooth could easily have been condemned and extracted initially. Proper diagnosis, and ability to improve the cleaning, shaping and obturation allowed this tooth to be saved. Endodontists are specialists in saving teeth.
