Endodontic Retreatment
In general, endodontic treatment has a high success rate, but each tooth has its own unique anatomy and could contain factors that contribute to a decreased chance for success and perhaps an eventual treatment failure. In some cases, pain could reappear years after the initial treatment. A possible solution to this situation could be an endodontic retreatment.During this procedure the endodontist will reopen the tooth and remove the root canal filling material. The tooth will once again be cleaned out, shaped, and examined with magnification and illumination to rule out all possible contributing factors to the failure. The root canal filling material will be reapplied, and a temporary filling will be applied to the crown.
After the treatment, you should return to your general dentist to complete the restoration as soon as possible.
