How are you going to remove the GP from this tooth?
Below is a video of a demonstration I gave at the Jiao Tong University Dental School in Shanghai. I was demonstrating a method for removal of GP from treated canals. The method that I describe is only one of many methods, but I think it is a good way to begin re-treating. Please watch the video and share your thoughts:

Very educative practical knowledge. Thank you.
But my concern is the use of chloroform. I thought the
literature talks about its adverse effect and advises against
using it. Where do I get the endo-solvent please.?
If you have access to the protaper re-treatment files, do you still have to use any GP disolving solvent.?
Thank you
very illuminating, can’t wait to apply it. What really strikes out is the level of clarity and simplicity in your approach thank you for putting it up.
Nice video! What if you have 2mm of GP beyond apex? Will the re-treatment files pull this in or are you locked into doing apico?
Thanks!
Hi Anthony,
You have to be lucky to pull back GP that is past the apex, but you can do it on occasion. You will normally need to gently screw a hedstrom into the apical GP and then attempt to pull the whole apical GP mass out in one go. It helps if the GP isn’t very well compacted.
Good Luck.
