Abstract
Removal of different materials from the root canal in a failed endodontic treatment is a prime requisite for endodontic retreatment. Complete removal of the materials such as gutta percha, broken instruments, or post is of particular importance for accessing endodontic space, cleaning, shaping, and disinfection of the root canal. Intra-radicular post removal poses a challenge to the clinician with associated risks. The purpose of this case is to report successful removal of metal post and non-surgical retreatment of a maxillary central incisor. This case report discusses the clinical management of previously root filled maxillary central incisor along with metallic post focuses on removal of the metal post and endodontic retreatment of the maxillary incisor with ultrasonics and non-surgical management using intracanal medicament to enhance the longevity of the tooth.
