An Update On Gutta-Percha Retrieval Methods

Non-surgical endodontic treatment is usually practiced in modern day dentistry. Root canal treatment is the only key treatment for saving your natural teeth. This has given the clinician an opportunity to treat grossly destructed, nonfunctioning teeth to a functional tooth. Although recent advances in surgical, prosthetic and restorative care have made tooth replacement less tedious than in the past, it is unanimously accepted that a natural tooth is a superior choice to extraction and replacement. Root canal treatments are also associated with failures, which necessitate the removal of the obturating material Gutta-percha that were used during the procedure. This review article aims to explain the various non-surgical endodontic methods, which can be used to retrieve Gutta-percha from the root canals.
