A previously treated tooth may sometimes remain painful or become infected again. Retreatment reopens the tooth so the canal system can be reassessed, cleaned and sealed where feasible.
Persistent bacteria, complex anatomy, a leaking restoration, a new crack or delayed final restoration can contribute to symptoms.
The existing restoration and root filling are assessed. Additional imaging or magnification may be recommended. Whether the tooth can be predictably retreated depends on restorability, anatomy and the cause of failure.
No. The tooth must be examined for cracks, remaining tooth structure and other factors before options are discussed.
It can be more complex because previous filling materials and restorations may need to be managed before the canals can be reassessed.
