Root canal treatment is needed when infection reaches the dental pulp. Treatment involves accessing and cleaning the entire root canal system, then thoroughly disinfecting it with irrigating solutions before filling and sealing the canals.
Modern techniques combine optical magnification with thorough disinfection and ultrasonic activation of irrigating solutions, supporting a high success rate.
Root Canal Retreatment
Retreatment can help save a previously treated tooth when the original treatment has been unsuccessful. Before proceeding, we assess the tooth’s prognosis. If the likelihood of success is low, extraction and replacement with a dental implant may be considered.
