Abstract:
The paper describes a method of root canal retreatment that enables by means of CT data, laser surface scanning of teeth and a number of software to create plastic templates making possible successful retreatment with minimal risk of complications. The effectiveness of the method was evaluated in vitro on 10 extracted teeth. Application of the method in clinical practice enables the highest degree of accuracy and security of the procedure.
