SubjectEndodontics
DescriptionRoot canal retreatments are an essential component of endodontic practice; systematic reviews have proven that their success rate is not far from that of conventional root canal treatments. This has led to a decline of endodontic surgery that has paradoxically coincided with a period of great technical progress of this discipline associated with the introduction of microsurgery. On the other hand, general practitioners are now starting to extract teeth that could be easily saveable and replace them with implants
