Abstract :Aim: To evaluate the outcome of single visit nonsurgical retreatment by clinical examination and PAI insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Periapical Index); and, patients’ feedback regarding the nonsurgical retreatment after 1 year. Material and Method: 115 patients who previously had nonsurgical retreatment were recalled after 1 year and after dropouts, 84 patients were examined clinically and radiographical examinations were completed pre-and postoperatively using Periapical Index. Patients were also asked if they would still choose nonsurgical retreatment for teeth with previously failed root canal treatment. Results: The healing rate after 1 year was 88%. The tooth type did not influence the outcome insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p=0.756);. While the failure rate was lower in males insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(3.3%); than in females insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(16.7%);, gender did not affect the outcome insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p=0.088);. 97.6% of patients had a positive approach to nonsurgical retreatment. There was a statistically significant relationship between treatment outcome and patients` feedback insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p=0.013);. There is a statistically significant positive correlation between postoperative VAS insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Visual Analogue Scale); pain score and postoperative PAI score insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p=0.002);. Conclusion: Single-visit nonsurgical retreatment is a viable option for teeth where certain periapical diseases such as symptomatic apical abscess are excluded. Patients, who experienced successful nonsurgical retreatment, are eager to preserve their tooth with failed primary root canal treatment when nonsurgical retreatment option is available.
