Abstract

Endodontic treatments tend to have very high success rates although they are quite an invasive and difficult procedure, especially in complex anatomies. Endodontic failure can be caused by iatrogenic errors such as root perforation, ledge formation, separated instruments as well as missed canals. These failures can be managed by nonsurgical or surgical procedures. If both fail, tooth extraction will be the choice of treatment.

There are situations at which nonsurgical strategies become ineffective such as separated instrument at apical one third, nonhealing periapical lesion as well as anatomical difficulties such as apical ramification, isthmuses, and other morphologic irregularities at the apical region. At this point, careful surgical intervention is drawn nearer to save the tooth [1]. The treatment includes uncovering the apical unhealthy region, resection of the root-end followed by retro-cavity preparation and application of the root-end filling material.
