Case classified as healing. (a) Preoperative X-ray of the 36. Patient referred for orthograde retreatment of 36, asymptomatic, with an apical chronic periodontitis on the mesial root. Note the apical radiolucency () and pieces of amalgam in the mesial root. The initial endodontic treatment was performed more than one year ago. (b) Periapical X-ray control immediately after the retreatment: amalgam grains are visible in the periapical region after realisation of the endodontic retreatment. (c) Recall after 4 years: this tooth is classified as “healed”: the amalgam grains seem to have disappeared but there is still a radiolucent area ().
