Retreatment (Root Canal Re-treatment)

When the materials used during root canal treatment are insufficient or problems occur during the treatment process, a root canal treatment that needs to be repeated in your tooth is a procedure performed only by another specialist. This process is called "Retreatment".

Why Might Retreatment Be Necessary?

Situations such as the tooth not healing after root canal treatment, the infection continuing, or the canals not being cleaned properly may necessitate a retention procedure.

How is a Retreatment Procedure Performed?

A retention procedure allows you to regain a healthy tooth structure by completing the previous root canal treatment. The specialist dentist examines the previous treatment, takes all necessary precautions, and cleans the canals again. Then, a new filling is applied to your tooth to restore its function and health.

Post-Retreatment Care

After a retention procedure, it is important to have regular dental checkups and maintain good oral hygiene to speed up the healing process and reduce the risk of infection. Your dentist will provide recommendations on how to protect your tooth.
