What endodontic procedures are there?

Several;: There is the basic root canal, then there are re-treatment of root canals (yes they can fail) and apicoectomies, which are repairs of failed root canals at the actuall root tip of the tooth.

Ortho/retrograde: Orthograde - open the tooth, perform the root canal therapy and fill the tooth/canal. Retrograde or apicoectomy - seal the tip of the root after convention root canal therapy has been completed but has not fully resolved the problem.

Root Canals: Endotonic procedures are classically root canals, retreament, and apical surgery. They also may include hemisectsion, intentional replantation, management of minor dental trauma, revascularization therapy, post removal, and most importantly diagnosis.

Scope: Scope of endodontic procedures: incision and drainage assist in diagnosis of facial pain root canal treatment root canal revision (retreatment) post removal post and core build-up apicoectomy (root-end surgery) hemisection root amputation exploratory surgery tooth replantation/transplantation emergency palliative treatment tooth stablization and splinting extraction dental implant.
