Kanal TedaWhat is Root Canal Therapy Renewal (Retreatment)?

Root canal therapy renewal is performed when a previously treated tooth becomes re-infected or the initial treatment was ineffective. This therapy involves re-cleaning, disinfecting, and refilling the root canals.

Reasons for Root Canal Therapy Renewal

Treatment Failure: When the initial root canal therapy was not effective or not fully performed.
Re-Infection of the Tooth: When bacteria left in the tooth lead to re-infection.
Tooth Crack or Fracture: When physical damage to the tooth causes the pulp to become re-infected.
Surrounding Issues: When environmental factors or poor oral hygiene lead to treatment failure.

Advantages of Root Canal Therapy Renewal

Relieves Pain: Eliminates pain by removing re-infected pulp.
Long-Term Solution: Ensures the tooth’s longevity and prevents future problems.

How is Root Canal Therapy Renewal Performed?

Examination and Planning: Your dentist evaluates the tooth and reviews the previous treatment. A treatment plan is created using X-rays and other imaging techniques.
Anesthesia Application: Local anesthesia is applied to ensure comfort during the procedure. This numbs the tooth and surrounding area.
Removal of Old Fillings: The filling material used in the initial root canal therapy and any other restorations are removed.
Cleaning of Root Canals: The infected or damaged tissue is removed, and the root canals are sterilized and cleaned.
Refilling: The cleaned root canals are refilled with a special filling material.
Restoration: The treated tooth is usually restored with a crown or filling, protecting it and restoring its normal function.

Post-Care for Retreatment

Oral Hygiene: It is important to brush and floss the treated tooth regularly. Oral hygiene should be maintained.
Check-ups: Regular dental check-ups should be scheduled. Your dentist will evaluate the condition of the treated tooth and make any necessary adjustments.
Diet: Initially, it is recommended to avoid hard and sticky foods. Over time, you can gradually return to a normal diet.
