Abstract

This case study describes a conservative (orthograde) endodontic retreatment procedure of the teeth which underwent apical surgery and yet they still presented a periapical pathology. Healing was achieved without any need for another endodontic surgical intervention. It proves the effectiveness of this alternative treatment, although sensitive to technical errors that can intervene due to the high difficulty of the large apical size of the root after resection.
