Root Canal Treatment Renovation

Root canal treatment renewal or re-endodontics (re-endodontics) is a dental treatment method performed in cases where a previous root canal treatment has failed or re-infection has developed. Root canal treatment renewal involves repeating or improving a tooth's previous root canal treatment.

Root canal treatment renewal may be required in the following cases:

The first root canal treatment was unsuccessful: If the initial root canal treatment was not fully effective or if the infection has returned, the root canal treatment may need to be renewed. This can often be due to factors such as incomplete removal of the infection, an incorrectly performed procedure or the complexity of the anatomical structure of the tooth.

A new infection has developed: A new infection can develop after a tooth has already been successfully treated. This can occur in cases where the tooth can become reinfected or bacteria can re-enter the canals.

Root canal treatment renovation usually involves the following steps:

Opening access: Filling or restoration materials from the previous root canal treatment procedure are removed and access to the tooth is regained.

Duct inspection: Duct systems are checked using specialised tools and reshaped as necessary.

Re-cleaning and disinfection: The canals are cleaned and disinfected for complete removal of previous filling material, infected tissues or bacteria.

Canal filling: The cleaned canals are filled with gutta-percha, a sterile filling material. This filling material ensures that the ducts are sealed and prevents re-infection

Restoration: The tooth is covered with restorative procedures such as fillings or dental crowns to complete the treatment and restore the function of the tooth.

Root canal treatment renewal can be a more complex procedure and usually requires more time and attention. Therefore, root canal treatment renewal can be performed by an endodontist. Endodontists are dentists who specialise in root canal treatments
