MANAGEMENT OF FURCAL PERFORATION USING BIODENTINE – A CASE REPORT

Abstract

Management of furcal perforation in a root canal retreatment is often challenging as the outcome of the perforation sealing depends on several parameters. The introduction of several bioactive cements and magnication systems has made the sealing of perforations easier and the outcome more predictable. Current advances in endodontics and biomaterials has made the recovery of tooth structure and function possible even in the most complicated cases. Despite the breakthroughs in techniques and resources, furcal repair remains taxing. This case report shows successful management of multiple furcal perforation with a questionable prognosis in root canal retreatment using biodentine.
