Today with the increased awareness, preservation of the teeth by endodontic treatment is preferred by the patients rather than unnecessary extractions. Endodontic treatment has its own advantages and disadvantages. One of the main disadvantages is endodontic failure, which can be because of various factors. These failures can be managed by endodontic retreatment which may be surgical or non-surgical (Orthograde). Usually orthograde is the first opted modality, while surgical retreatment is carried out only when orthograde is not successful.  Both have variable results of success according to the studies conducted by various researchers.
