Abstract

Several clinical symptoms that develop after root canal treatment are more likely, the emergence of persistent inflammatory processes in the apical region without any subjective symptoms are signs that primary endodontic treatment has failed. A 28-year-old female patient reported with the fractured post and crown in both the maxillary central incisors. Intraradicular metal posts were removed using ultrasonic instruments. Retreatment was performed and prosthetic reconstructions were carried out. In conclusion, the presented report clearly showed that the difficult of removing individual posts could be easily performed with the use of the ultrasonic device and always orthograde retreatment followed by good prosthetic reconstruction should be considered aesthetic choice of treatment in similar clinical conditions
