CLINICAL CASES

Endodontic treatment takes time and dedication to achieve healing.

Having a broken tool is not entirely the cause of endodontic treatment failure, because if there are no germs it can stay forever without causing any problems to the patient.

To remove a broken tool we must be able to see it!

An endodontic treatment does not necessarily have to be “beautiful” radiographically to give us complete healing of the periapical lesion and therefore full functionality of the tooth!
