MIGUEL CRUZ, Pedro Antonio et al. Extralveolar Root Canal Therapy. ccm [online]. 2015, vol.19, n.2, pp. 359-369. ISSN 1560-4381.

The root canal therapy (RCT) occasionally takes unexpected problems that may end in failure. The extralveolar RCT is a little used and has definite indications, in which the careful selection of patients is important. When using this technique it is inevitably the exarticulation, outside the mouth the ducts are prepared and sealed, and finally reimplantation. An extralveolar RCT to a male patient of 22 years at Manuel Angulo Farrán Dental Clinic was given, a bicuspid (15) with an acute periapical abscess due to incorrect endodontic instrumentation, without symptoms, which had good coronary integrity, thereby avoiding loss of a part doomed to extraction. Endodontic surgery proceeded successfully without further complications, and its evolution was a success.
