Endodontic retreatment

Maxillary premolar that has previously undergone inadequate endodontic treatment in the palatal root. The tooth has an endodontic lesion at the apex of the palatal root. This tooth needs to be retreated.

When a tooth has already undergone root canal treatment but the previous treatment was unsatisfactory (incomplete treatment, missed canal, broken instrument, etc.) or the existing restoration is no longer suitable (bacterial infiltration of the initial root canal treatment), it is necessary to repeat the root canal treatment. The procedure is similar to that of an initial root canal treatment but is technically more complex because it requires removing the old filling materials and correcting any errors made during the previous treatment.

Step 1

Consultation appointment with a comprehensive evaluation (X-ray(s), 3D scan (CBCT)—often required—tests, and a clinical interview). This appointment helps determine whether treatment is necessary and what type of treatment is appropriate. In some cases, if we have all the radiographic and diagnostic information provided by the referring practitioner, we can provide treatment immediately.
