Title: [The application of desocclusol and manual mechanical method in endodontic retreatment].
Abstract: To investigate the clinical method to remove a gutta-percha and root canal sealers.168 root canals which had been filled with gutta-percha were selected,all root canals needed endodontic retreatment.The root canal fillings were removed and the root canal was re-prepared with the method of desocclusol and manual mechanical method. Then the root canal was filled again with lateral condensation technique.With manual mechanical method and desocclusol,all original root canal fillings were removed completely. The combined method could effectively prevent the formation of step,root canal-side wear,broken equipment or other complications during the course of retreatment.The success rate of retreatment was 89.3%.Combined manual mechanical method with desocclusol could improve the success rate of recanalization of the root canal and saved time and effort. It is a method which could reduce the intensity and improve the efficiency of dentists, and worthy of wide clinical application.
