Teeth

The formation of teeth, also known as odontogenesis, is a complex process that begins in utero, around the sixth week of embryonic development. There are three stages to this process: the bud stage, the cap stage, and the bell stage.
In the bud stage, the tooth germ (an aggregation of cells) starts to form in the developing jawbone. During the cap stage, the tooth germ differentiates into enamel organ, dental papilla, and dental sac, which will later develop into the tooth's enamel, dentin and...

Root canal therapy retreatment is increasingly requested for persistent infections. This article reviews causes of root canal failure and available techniques for successful retreatment.

Area of Science:

  • Endodontics
  • Dental infection control

Background:

  • Root canal therapy (RCT) success rates are not absolute.
  • Intra-radicular infections necessitate endodontic retreatment.
  • Patient demand for retreatment is rising.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To discuss common causes of root canal therapy failure.
  • To review current armamentarium and techniques for endodontic retreatment.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of endodontic retreatment techniques.
  • Discussion of etiological factors in root canal failure.

Main Results:

  • A growing range of tools and methods are available for retreatment.
  • Understanding failure causes is key to successful intervention.
