GRADUATE ENDODONTOLOGY CLASSIC LITERATURE REVIEW SEMINAR
ENDODONTIC RETREATMENT
SPRING 2007

OBJECTIVES:

After this literature seminar the endodontic postgraduate student will be able to:
  1. Discuss the indications, contraindications and prognosis for non-surgical endodontic retreatment.
  2. Discuss the current techniques used for the retreatment of gutta-percha, silver cones, and carrier systems.
