Özet

The aim of this study is to discuss the removal of posts before retreatment of unsuccessful root canal

treated teeth restored with intracanal post. In all 6 cases, the posts were opened around the posts using

high-speed burs for post removal, and the posts were removed by turning them loose by means of a

holder.

Case series are described with periapical radiographs before the start of retreatment in the lower

right second premolar, upper left first molar, upper right central, upper right second premolar, upper left

lateral and upper right lateral teeth with metal posts and after the post removal and canal treatment is

completed.

Many techniques have been developed for intracanal post removal. Regardless of which technique is

chosen, there is a simple but extremely important rule to follow: After the post is removed, the remaining

tooth tissue can be restored.

In this case series, no fracture or crack was observed in any of the teeth whose post was removed.

In addition, all teeth have the amount of tissue suitable for permanent restoration in a healthy way. The

correct selection of the cases and the experience of the clinician can be considered as the most important

criteria in terms of minimizing the complications to be encountered in the teeth to be removed and

resulting in the least tissue loss.
