Post removal prior to retreatment.

Removing posts from root canals prior to endodontic retreatment is often a challenge. The Gonon post removing system (Thomas Extracteur De Pivots; FFDM-Pneumat, Bourges, France) is safe and efficient and can be used for anterior, bicuspid, and even molar teeth. The Gonon system is illustrated with one clinical case.
