Prognostic factors in endodontic retreatment

After the lecture, participants should know what the endodontic prognosis in the retreatment of a compromised tooth is; understand what the endodontic prognosis in already treated compromised teeth destined for endodontic surgery is; describe what the endodontic treatment options in the severely compromised teeth are and select the correct materials, devices and therapeutic approaches for each different clinical situation.

The long-term prognosis of the endodontically treated tooth is closely related both to the quality of the endodontic therapy itself and to the quality of the coronal restoration. The evolution of materials, techniques and technologies in endodontics has undoubtedly helped clinicians to improve the prognosis of endodontic therapies, especially in teeth previously considered unrestorable, contributing to a consequent increase in the confidence of patients and dental colleagues in the endodontist.
