Root
Canal Re-treatment
Sometimes after a root canal treatment
there are complications.
When a root canal treatment fails,
the first course of action that is usually taken is trying to re-do the root
canal treatment. It is usually done by an Endodontist (root canal
specialist) or an experienced general dentist.
The process is very similar to
root_canal treatment,
the difference is that besides taking any remaining infected tissue out, the
doctor has to take old filling material, any posts and crowns or any other
obstacle in the pulp space out to be able to successfully disinfect and seal
the area of the root canal.
After the root canal treatment is done your restorative dentist will place a
crown to protect the tooth against fractures.
