The main goal of endodontic treatment procedure is to preserve normal periradicular tissue against spreading of infection (1). This is usually achieved by root canal treatment. Unfortunately, failure may occur after root canal treatment, In this study, we focused on attitude and techniques used in re-treatment cases by dentists in Saudi Arabia, a cross-sectional study conducted by using an A questionnaire was designed on the basis of previously published surveys of endodontists and general practitioners (GPs). answered by approximately 236 dentists. The response to the questionnaire by internship students was highest (120), followed by general practitioner (83) and the least number of specialists (33) Results showed an agreement between the most of dentist?s answers about the factors makes them decide to re-treat the endodontically treated teeth, except in consensus most of the specialists (72.8%) that retreatment is mandatory when loss of coronal seal. More than 85% of practitioners are through with presence of some cases indicate referral to another dentist. Most of the specialists (55.2%) referred to the reason for the absence of required tools and equipment. In most responses, there was a total agreement between all practitioners in different scientific degrees. The success of non-surgical root canal retreatment depends on many factors, such as case selection, years of experience, techniques, and materials used during the procedure.
