Tooth root retreatment
Articles related to root canal treatment
Root canal retreatment is a highly specialized procedure in endodontics that is performed to correct a failed root canal treatment. In this method, the initial root canal treatment (Root Canal Therapy) that has failed due to reasons such as residual bacteria, obstruction of the lateral canals, perforation, or incomplete restoration of the tooth is reviewed and re-treated. This treatment requires detailed knowledge of root anatomy, the use of microscopic equipment, and the use of biocompatible materials.
When is root canal treatment needed?
The occurrence of pain or inflammation after months or years of initial treatment, identification of periapical lesions on radiographs, presence of cracks in the tooth or filled crown, re-infection due to microbial penetration or leakage of filling materials, new decay in the crown area of the tooth leading to re-contamination of the canal.
Is root canal treatment successful?
The answer is yes, but it depends on the condition of the tooth, the techniques used, the dentist’s expertise, and the diagnostic and therapeutic equipment. In Iran, especially in the city of Shiraz, thanks to the use of surgical microscopes, NiTi rotary files, 3D CBCT, ultrasonic devices, and bioactive materials such as MTA and Biodentine, the success rate of root canal treatment has been reported to be over 90 percent.
Steps of root canal treatment
Clinical and radiographic evaluation: To investigate the reasons for the failure of previous treatment and to re-plan the treatment.
Access to the canals: Removal of previous restorations and precise access to the root canals.
Removal of previous filling materials (Gutta-percha Removal): Using mechanical, thermal or ultrasonic tools.
Cleaning and disinfecting the canals with antibacterial solutions such as sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl).
Filling the canals (Obturation) with compression (Warm Vertical Condensation) or injection techniques.
Crown restoration and final tooth reconstruction with composite materials or crowns.
Benefits and challenges of root canal treatment
Advantages:
Preservation of natural teeth, chewing function and smile aesthetics, prevention of jaw bone loss that usually occurs after tooth extraction, a more cost-effective alternative to dental implants or dentures.
Challenges:
Complex root anatomy, narrow or deviated canals, possibility of broken instruments inside the canal (separated instruments), need for experience and advanced equipment to achieve a successful result

Answers to frequently asked questions from patients
Is root canal treatment painful?
Using modern local anesthesia and painless techniques, the treatment is much more comfortable than commonly believed.
If retreatment is unsuccessful, what is the next step?
If unsuccessful, options such as surgical treatment of the root tip (Apicoectomy) or replacement with an implant are considered.
Can I travel and rest at the same time as I am undergoing treatment?
Yes. Root canal retreatment is usually done in two sessions, and between sessions, patients have the opportunity to rest, visit the city, and have a cultural experience.
