Question 208 · LDEK · Endodontic retreatment

Indicate false information concerning root canal retreatment:

  1. A. root canal retreatment is indicated in the case of teeth with inadequately filled root canals and periapical lesions seen on the X-ray.
  2. B. in the absence of proper preparation and filling of the root canal, surgical-endodontic or surgical treatment is possible.
  3. C. final obturation of the root canals of the tooth re-treated endodontically is indicated immediately after root canal preparation.
  4. D. final obturation of the root canals of the tooth re-treated endodontically should be postponed until the next visit.

Hint

Retreatment usually deals with a persistent, established infection — consider whether canals should be sealed at the same visit.
