The frequency of failure is reported to be around 20%and various factors contribute to it which mostly relies on the treatment procedure followed by the previousoperator. It is of paramount importance that postgraduate doctors should learn to treat these case scenarioswith high effectiveness. This study aims to assess the postoperative obturation quality of retreatment casesdone by graduate doctors.

From the cases assessed, about 80% hadachieved correct radiographic length of obturation and about 70% of obturation was not of optimal quality.Quality of obturation was not adequate. The length of root canal filling was desirable whereas the quality ofcondensation was not adequate about 60% of the assessed cases
