From Microsurgical Endodontics by Dr. Arnaldo Castellucci, Edra Publishing
Should you retreat surgically or non-surgically? How do you handle complex re-surgeries with minimal trauma? And how do you use CBCT technology to make the right decision the first time?
Join us for a 1-day virtual summit focused entirely on advanced endodontic re-intervention. You’ll learn from globally recognized leaders in the field how to diagnose with precision, select the optimal treatment approach, and perform successful re-treatments that preserve teeth and restore patient trust.
Whether you’re navigating a first-time retreatment or managing a high-stakes surgical re-entry, this summit will equip you with the clinical tools, mindset, and decision-making frameworks you need to succeed.

When orthograde retreatment and apical microsurgery are considered unfeasible, when they fail to resolve persistent endodontic infection, or when the remaining tooth structure is deemed non- restorable, the tooth is usually extracted and replaced with an implant or another prosthetic device.
Alternatively, when clinical conditions permit, the tooth can be extracted, manipulated extra-orally and replanted (Intentional Replantation, Surgical Extrusion), or a non-strategic tooth can be transplanted into the socket of the extracted tooth (Autogenous Transplantation).
These seemingly radical but rather simple procedures offer predictably good outcomes when the biologic principles of tooth replantation are respected.
This lecture will review the procedures of Intentional Replantation/Transplantation in a contemporary context, as predictable means for retaining otherwise “untreatable” teeth to greatly benefit patients. Strict guidelines for case selection, a step-by-step protocol and a variety of clinical applications will be outlined and illustrated with typical cases. Treatment outcomes will also be highlighted for the various clinical applications of both procedures, as reported in case reports, cohort studies and systematic reviews.

Biography
Dr. Shimon Friedman is Professor Emeritus at the Faculty of Dentistry, University of Toronto. He received the D.M.D. degree (1975) and endodontics certificate (1983) from the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, Israel. He is board-certified in endodontics in Israel and had served as Chairman of the Israel Endodontic Society from 1985 to 1988.
Prof. Friedman had served as Head of Endodontics in Toronto for 20 years (1992-2012), and as the founding Director of the MSc Program in Endodontics for 22 years (1993-2015). Under his leadership, the M.Sc. Endodontics Program at the University of Toronto has gained international recognition for its excellence.
Prof. Friedman has published over 250 peer-reviewed articles, textbook chapters and research abstracts, and has presented over 370 international lectures. He is ranked among the top 2% of cited researchers worldwide.
Prof. Friedman is the recipient of several awards, including 2006 Louis I. Grossman Award by the French Endodontic Society, 2008 Louis I. Grossman Award from the American Association of Endodontists (for “cumulative publication of significant research studies that have made an extraordinary contribution to endodontology”), 2013 W.W. Wood Award from the Association of Canadian Faculties of Dentistry (for “excellence in dental education”), 2014 Award of Distinction from the Faculty of Dentistry, University of Toronto, 2018 I.B. Bender Lifetime Educator Award from the American Association of Endodontists and Life Membership in the Omicron Kappa Upsilon Dental Fraternity, Tau Tau Chapter. In 2015, Prof. Friedman was designated an Honorary Diplomate of the Indian Board of Endodontics.
Initial non-surgical root canal treatment has very high success rate when using modern techniques and protocols. Like other procedures in healthcare, initial root canal therapy does not always result in absolute healing or elimination of symptoms.
The major contributors to non-healing include: inadequate cleaning/shaping and obturation, coronal microleakage and procedural mishaps.
When initial non-surgical endodontic procedures fail, non-surgical and surgical endodontic retreatments are alternative to extraction. Nonsurgical endodontic retreatment has predictable outcomes when the causes of the initial root canal treatment failure are accurately diagnosed and corrected.
When non-surgical retreatment fails, the next treatment option is not extraction of the tooth and replacing it with a single implant. The first treatment after non-surgical retreatment failure is endodontic microsurgery.
Endodontic microsurgery retreatment has excellent outcomes. We will discuss indications, contraindications and various methods of non-surgical and surgical retreatments including tooth replantation and tooth transplantation to save natural dentition.

He is the #1 author of citation classics literature and pulp regeneration in the field of endodontics. He has made over 200 national and international presentations in more than 40 countries.
He has received the AAE Ralph F. Sommer Award, the Louis I. Grossman Award, and the Philanthropist Award from the American Association of Endodontists. As an individual who had displayed leadership and exemplary dedication to dentistry and endodontic he is the recipient of the Edgar D. Coolidge Award of the AAE in 2016.
He is also the recipient of several awards from Loma Linda University. He is a past president of the California Association of Endodontics and past president of the American Association of Endodontists and its Foundation.
Many clinicians feel that endodontic retreatment is a predictable and reliable option for saving teeth that have failing root canal therapy, but many clinicians feel that retreatment almost never works. This presentation aims to show what is possible, in terms of saving teeth, with endodontic retreatment. Guidelines, treatment strategies and clinical tips are offered to help the clinician achieve predictable success with endodontic retreatment.
Learning Objectives:
Understand the indications and limitations of endodontic retreatment in managing failing root canal therapy.
Learn clinical guidelines and decision-making strategies to improve retreatment outcomes.
Apply practical tips and techniques to enhance the predictability and success of endodontic retreatment.
