A comprehensive textbook overview of advanced endodontic procedures, focusing heavily on clinical retreatment and surgery. Key topics covered include the rationale for endodontic failure, often attributed to persistent microbial infection, and the decision-making process for retreatment, which involves assessing clinical and radiographic signs of failure. The text details various non-surgical retreatment techniques, such as dismantling existing restorations and removing materials like gutta percha and fractured instruments, often emphasizing the use of the operating microscope for precision. Furthermore, it addresses surgical endodontics, including indications, contraindications, root end resection, and the use of modern materials like Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA) for perforation repair, alongside discussions of pain control and flap design.
