Less invasive than extraction, gentler than an implant. We fix what didn’t work on the first try.
Re-endodontic treatment (or re-endodontics) is a repeated treatment of the root canals of a tooth, which is performed in case the original endodontic treatment has failed – for example, due to insufficient filling of the canals, the presence of infection, inflammation or pain. It represents the last option to save the tooth from extraction.
The dentist will examine the condition of the tooth and take the necessary X-rays to determine the cause of the problems and the condition of the root canals.
To make the procedure as comfortable as possible, your dentist will administer local anesthesia. Using special instruments, he will remove the old filling from the root canals.
The dentist will carefully clean the canals of infection, bacteria, and inflammation, thereby eliminating the occurrence of recurrent inflammation. He will then adjust the canals to the correct shape for the new filling.
The dentist will fill the canals with a new sealing material, ensuring complete hermeticity, and appropriately repair the tooth with a white filling or crown, restoring its function and appearance.
After the procedure, it is necessary to undergo regular check-ups so that the dentist can monitor the healing and development of the tooth’s condition.
Re-endodontics is an effective treatment for teeth with persistent infection or failed original treatment. Schedule a consultation and restore the health of your smile.
Re-endodontic treatment is a repeated treatment of the root canals of a tooth, which is performed if the original treatment was not successful or a new infection has appeared.
Re-endodontics may be necessary due to persistent pain, recurrent infection, unhealed inflammation, or poor sealing of the original root filling.
Re-endodontics is performed under local anesthesia, so you should not feel any pain during the treatment. You may experience mild discomfort after the procedure, which usually subsides quickly.
Usually 1–2 sessions are needed depending on the complexity of the case.
When performed with high quality, reendodontics has a high success rate, although it is not always possible to save the tooth.
Maintain regular oral hygiene, avoid hard foods on the treated tooth, and have regular check-ups with your dentist.
In this case, surgical endodontic treatment or tooth extraction may be considered.
