Description
Esthefany Domínguez-Gaibor and colleagues reported in 2026 the retreatment of a failed root filling in a five-year-old boy's baby front tooth, combined with a full aesthetic rebuild of his upper front teeth. Early childhood caries had damaged several incisors, and the left central tooth's old filling reached only a third of the root. Extraction was the alternative the team hoped to avoid.
Using hand files and a rotary system, they removed the old material, disinfected the canal, and refilled it, then fitted a fiberglass post and a resin crown shaped by a celluloid form. One year later the tooth remained comfortable and functional, and mother and child were highly satisfied. The authors present retreatment as a viable way to keep baby teeth until their natural time.
