Case Reports

Removal of restorative posts for the purpose of nonsurgical endodontic retreatment: report of cases



H Chalfin, P Weseley, and C Solomon

Long Island College Hospital, Brooklyn, NY.

Nonsurgical endodontic retreatment can be a successful treatment option, especially if the existing root canal therapy is technically deficient. It is the preferred treatment for most endodontic failures unless iatrogenic, restorative, or morphological factors dictate otherwise. A restorative post in the involved canal is usually considered an indication for apical surgery; however, in cases where nonsurgical retreatment is preferable to surgical management, many posts can be removed.
