Root Canal “System” The complexity of the root canal system cannot be underestimated. All portals of exit must be sealed to ensure elimination of periradicular pathology
Retreatment • Flexipost cemented in palatal canal – ultrasonic removal • MB2 orifice not identified previously • contaminants evident in other canals
Retreatment • post removed – all canals identified and negotiated • Class I inlay preparation initiated for NiTi accessibility • heated NaOCl (150o F) and EDTA left to soak in chamber and canal system throughout procedure
Retreatment • canals shaped, cleaned and obturated • gutta-percha seal to orifice interface with chamber floor • bristle brush and ethanol used to remove sealer from chamber • chamber then etched with phosphoric acid in preparation for sealing of the chamber floor and canal orifices
Retreatment • dentinal adhesive (PQ1) used in conjunction with Permaflo to create bonded composite layer over the canal entrances to the root canal system as well as close any furcal canals • further layering of core material can be applied after micro-etching • bonded core depth sufficient to preclude need for post placement
