Various medicaments such as calcium hydroxide, chlorhexidine, antibiotic pastes, corticosteroid-antibiotic combinations, bioceramic medicaments, and strontium-based formulations have been advocated depending upon the clinical scenario. The choice of medicament depends on factors including pulpal status, microbial flora, periapical pathology, exudation, resorption, and patient-specific considerations. While calcium hydroxide remains the gold standard because of its antimicrobial and hard tissue induction properties, newer materials such as bioceramic medicaments offer enhanced biocompatibility and bioactivity. Strontium-based formulations have also gained attention for their remineralization and osteogenic potential.

Root canal retreatment cases are performed when a previously treated tooth continues to show pain, infection, swelling, or failure to heal properly. Common reasons for retreatment include missed canals, inadequate cleaning, leakage from a faulty restoration, or reinfection due to recurrent decay. During retreatment, the old filling material is removed, the canals are cleaned and disinfected again, and the tooth is sealed properly to improve long-term success. Early diagnosis and careful case selection are important for achieving a favorable outcome.

Non-surgical retreatment outcomes are often unpredictable despite careful execution. This study evaluated AI-based models to predict healing after root canal retreatment and found that machine learning, particularly XGBoost, showed high accuracy in identifying cases at risk of failure. Key clinical factors such as preoperative lesions, tooth type, and restoration quality significantly influenced outcomes, suggesting that AI may help structure prognosis assessment before treatment begins.

Root canal treatment can now be completed in either a single appointment or multiple visits, with both approaches showing comparable success rates when properly executed. Single Visit Approach: Modern technology has made it possible to complete cleaning, disinfecting, and filling the root canal in one session. This offers significant convenience for patients—requiring only one time off work and avoiding temporary fillings. Research confirms that single-visit treatments achieve success rates similar to multiple-visit procedures when appropriate disinfection protocols are followed. This approach works well for most routine cases, including vital teeth and those with chronic conditions. Multiple Visit Approach: The traditional method involves initial canal preparation, placement of antibacterial medication between appointments, and final filling at a subsequent visit. This extended timeframe allows for more thorough disinfection in complex cases, particularly those with severe infections or large lesions. However, it demands greater time commitment and carries risks like temporary filling failure. Clinical Decision-Making: The choice depends on individual case factors. Single visits suit most straightforward cases, while multiple appointments may benefit teeth with acute abscesses, persistent drainage, or complicated anatomy. Patient preference and practitioner expertise also play important roles. Both methods are effective when case selection is appropriate and technique is meticulous, giving practitioners flexibility to choose the best approach for each patient’s unique situation.
