Summary

This study shows that Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA) monoblock obturation is effective for re-treating teeth with periapical lesions. The technique successfully healed a patient's acute periapical abscess after previous root canal treatment.

Area of Science:

Dentistry
Endodontics
Regenerative Medicine

Background:

Non-surgical root canal retreatment is often necessary for teeth with persistent periapical lesions.
Previous root canal treatments can fail due to inadequate obturation or persistent infection.
Periapical lesions and root resorption pose significant challenges in endodontic retreatment.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate the efficacy of the Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA) monoblock obturation technique in a retreated tooth with an acute periapical abscess and root resorption.
To assess periradicular healing one year after non-surgical retreatment using MTA.

Main Methods:

A 48-year-old male patient with a symptomatic, previously root canal-treated mandibular right first molar was diagnosed with an acute periapical abscess.
The tooth underwent non-surgical retreatment with manual application of MTA in the root canal.
Clinical and radiographic follow-up was conducted at one year post-treatment.

Main Results:

The patient showed complete resolution of clinical signs and symptoms, including swelling and pain.
Radiographic evaluation revealed a substantial reduction (over 50%) in the periapical and furcation radiolucency.
No signs of root resorption progression were noted after treatment.

Conclusions:

The MTA monoblock obturation technique is a viable and effective method for achieving periradicular healing in retreated teeth with periapical lesions and root resorption.
This technique offers a promising approach for managing complex endodontic cases requiring retreatment.
Successful outcomes support the use of MTA for regenerative endodontic procedures.
