Endodontic retreatment– this involves re-opening of the tooth Endodontic surgery– this is done to locate fractures Traumatic dental injuries -traumatic dental injuries often occur as a result of an accident or sports injury Dental implants– these are installed in the event that the natural tooth is dead 2. 3. 4. 5.
