Causes of failure of initial endodontic therapy:
➢Poor cleaning and obturation
➢Coronal leakage
➢Untreated canals
➢Poor access cavity
➢Complications of instrumentation
➢Overextension of root canal filling
➢Persistent intracanal or extracanal infection
➢Radicular cyst

Tx procedure:
1st visit:
Remove all GP by profile ,(04- 30) file and chloroform to get access to all the canals.
Irrigate with NaOCL 5.25%, saline, CHX.

According to Ferreira, 2001
In comparison between K-Flexofiles with chloroform, Hedstrom files with chloroform, ProFiles 0.04 with chloroform, ProFiles 0.04 alone in removing the gutta-percha from obturated root canals :
In comparison between K-Flexofiles with chloroform, Hedstrom files with chloroform, ProFiles 0.04 with chloroform, ProFiles 0.04 alone in removing the gutta-percha from obturated root canals :
-There was no statistically significant difference in canal cleanliness between K-Flexofiles and ProFiles.
-ProFiles were significantly faster than hand files.
-ProFiles were significantly faster than hand files.
According to Ray,1995
Good coronal restorations and endodontic treatment resulted in the absence of periradicular inflammation in91.4%,whereas poor coronal restorations and endodontic treatment resulted in the presence of periradicular inflammation in 81.9%of the teeth examined.

According to Ng YL, 2008
1- The pooled estimated success rate of secondary root canal treatment was 77%.
2- The presence of pre-operative periapical lesion, apical extent of root filling and quality of coronal restoration proved significant prognostic factors.
1- The pooled estimated success rate of secondary root canal treatment was 77%.
2- The presence of pre-operative periapical lesion, apical extent of root filling and quality of coronal restoration proved significant prognostic factors.
3-The outcome of 2 RCT should therefore be similar to 1 RCT as long as access to the apical infection can be re-established
