Reasons for Extraction of Endodontically Treated Teeth – a Review of Literature
Abstract:
Objective: Despite progress in endodontic techniques and materials, extraction of endodontically treated teeth is still often performed. Understanding of the reasons, leading to extraction, is very important, in order to limit and influence future extractions.
Aim: The purpose of this review article is to analyze and systemize the factors, related to extraction of endodontically treated teeth.
Methods: A review of related articles and publications was conducted in order to investigate the main reasons for extraction of endodontically treated teeth.
Results: The main reasons for the extraction of endodontically treated teeth are non-restorable caries lesions, root fractures and severe periodontal involvement. Endodontic failure, presence or non-healing of apical periodontitis, represent often a small part of total failure.
