Non-Surgical Retreatment of Mandibular First Molar-A Case Report

Abstract

The main goal of nonsurgical retreatment are to remove the obturating materials from the root canal area. Failure of endodontic treatment may be due to inadequate shaping, cleaning and obturation, iatrogenic events, or re-infection of the root canal system while the coronal seal is lost after root canal treatment. Regardless of the etiology, the sum of all reasons is leakage and bacterial contamination. This case demonstrates a 3-canal mandibular first molar dealt with through non-surgical root canal therapy. Acute exacerbation changed into stated on a formerly root-stuffed left mandibular first molar with periapical lesions, intraoral swelling and endodontic re-treatment changed into arranged. Clinicians want to be aware about the uncommon root canal anatomy of the mandibular first molar. After thorough root canal cleansing and shaping, root canal obturation with gutta-percha and calcium hydroxide based sealer through single cone method was performed.
