Abstract

This case describes the endodontic evaluation, decision making and treatment plan, as well as the endodontic retreatment and follow-up of two maxillary molars in a young 32-year-old female patient. The associated pathology and iatrogenic aspects associated with these teeth were multiple and threatened the success of their conservative treatment. Cone-beam computed tomography, operating microscope and bioceramics were essential in the management of this complex clinical case, which required an advanced diagnostic and treatment techniques, materials and skill. This clinical case emphasizes the importance of an accurate preoperative diagnosis and an individualized treatment plan for long-term success.
