Abstract

Persistent microorganisms, which are not decontaminated form root canals easily, might bring about endodontic failure. A 51-year-old man with endo-perio lesion was considered for endodontic retreatment. The existing root filling was removed with a solvent, hand, and rotary files. The working length was determined, and the canals were cleaned and shaped with ProTaper files. During each instrumentation, root canals were subjected to photodynamic therapy with attached Endo tip. Finally, the dried canals were filled with AH Plus sealer and gutta-percha cones. 9 months follow-ups were taken to order.
