Interventions

OTHER

Single-Visit Retreatment

The teeth in this group were treated according to the guidelines for root canal retreatment in single-session. The filling was removed and cavity was opened. Then root canal filling was removed from the root canals completely using retreatment kit. After irrigation protocol, root canals were obturated with gutta percha and coronal restoration was made using composite and/or fully crown if necessary.

DRUG

Multiple-Visit-"Calcium Hydroxide"

The teeth in this group were treated according to the guidelines for root canal retreatment in multiple-session. The filling was removed and cavity was opened. Then root canal filling was removed from the root canals completely using retreatment kit. After irrigation protocol, root canals were treated with calcium hydroxide and the cavity was filled with temporary restorative material.

DRUG

Multiple-Visit-"Corticosteroid Paste"

The teeth in this group were treated according to the guidelines for root canal retreatment in multiple-session. The filling was removed and cavity was opened. Then root canal filling was removed from the root canals completely using retreatment kit. After irrigation protocol, root canals were treated with corticosteroid \& antibiotic paste and the cavity was filled with temporary restorative material.

DRUG

Multiple-Visit-"Antibiotic Paste"

The teeth in this group were treated according to the guidelines for root canal retreatment in multiple-session. The filling was removed and cavity was opened. Then root canal filling was removed from the root canals completely using retreatment kit.
