Endodontic Root Canal Retreatment Icon

Endodontic Root Canal Retreatment

Occasionally a tooth that has undergone endodontic treatment fails to heal or pain continues despite therapy.  Sometimes a tooth initially responds to root canal therapy but becomes painful or diseased months or years later. When either of these situations occur, the tooth often can be maintained with a second endodontic treatment. If you have had a root canal before & your dentist is telling you it is failing or re-infected, you should see a Board-Certified Endodontist for an evaluation for a root canal re-treatment.

Apicoectomy or Endodontic Surgery Logo

Apicoectomy or Endodontic Surgery

Although there are many surgical procedures that can be performed to save a tooth, the most common is called apicoectomy or root-end resection. When inflammation or infection persists in the bony area around the end of your tooth after a root canal procedure, your endodontist may have to perform an apicoectomy.  The treatment is for a tooth that needs one of the roots or root tips removed. The goal is to remove the source of infection and save the tooth.


Traumatic Injuries

Traumatic Injuries

Pulp damage is sometimes caused by a blow to the mouth, and the endodontist specializes in treating these traumatic injuries. For example, a blow to a child’s permanent tooth that is not fully developed can cause the root to stop growing. A procedure called apexification stimulates bone to be deposited at the end of the root which makes it possible to then save the tooth through a root canal procedure. An endodontist is specially trained in procedures for replanting teeth that have been knocked out of their sockets.
