The objective of this study was to systematically evaluate endodontic retreatments performed by dental surgeons at the Municipal Oral and Dental Health Center (MODHC) of Ouagadougou under optimal work conditions. This was a prospective study evaluating endodontic retreatments quality performed by dental surgeons at the MODHC between the 1st and the 28th of April 2017. Personal, clinical, and radiographic data of patients were compiled using a customized collection form. Thirty-eight patients were involved in this study. Most retreatments were of the lower first molars (44.7%). Thirty-four patients (89.5%) were asymptomatic. Three cases of overfilling of filling material were noted. One patient was referred to an endodontist for further treatment. Retreatment indications can be minimized by taking more care when performing initial endodontic therapy. http://pubs.sciepub.com/ijdsr/6/4/1/ijdsr-6-4-1.pdf evaluation quality endodontic retreatments
