one-visit versus two-visit root canal retreatment

Phase 2/3

Completed

Conditions: Secondary Endodontic Infection
Other and unspecified diseases ofpulp and periapical tissues,

Registration Number: CTRI/2023/07/055311

Lead Sponsor: Saveetha Dental College and Hospital

Brief Summary: One of the main goals of root canal therapy is to eliminate the infectious process by reducing the microbial content to levels compatible with the healing of periapical tissues. However, some microorganisms originally present in necrotic tissues may survive chemomechanical procedures or may be located in missed canals or uninstrumented areas of the root canal system. Persistent bacteria can either induce new inflammation in the periapical region or contribute to the perpetuation of the infectious process even after root canal filling. Nonsurgical root canal retreatment is usually the first treatment option to eliminate infection in root-filled teeth. In these cases, after removal of the filling material, root canal disinfection can be achieved by chemomechanical preparation immediately followed by obturation (1-visit treatment) or supplemented by a previous interappointment intracanal medication (2-visit treatment).
