Not all root canal treatments go according to plan. It is a tricky and intricate procedure that requires years of experience and practice to master successfully. Teeth that have been root treated before may fail if the dentist could not fully clean all the canals properly, or if the tooth has an extra hidden canal. If this is the case then your root canal may require re-treatment. A few of our re-treatment cases are described below.
Root Canal Re-Treatment
Root Canal Re-Treatment - Case Study 1
My dentist said I needed to have a tooth taken out because the root filling was failing. I was devastated. I then went to EndoCare where the team of specialists said they could redo the root filling. Dr Adi Moran not only relieved me of my pain, but also found an extra root canal that is very rare. Adi saved my tooth and I am delighted. I went back after 6 months and my x-ray showed all the bone had healed.
Case Study 1 – Before: leaking old crown with an acute painful abscess condition.
Case Study 1 – 5th canal root found.
Case Study 1 – Healed bone after 6 months.
Root Canal Re-Treatment - Case Study 2
My regular dentist accidentally made a hole in the middle of the root out into the bone. It was painful and leaking from the gums. I was referred immediately to the team at EndoCare for an assessment. Dr Adi Moran treated my root canal and sealed the perforated area. By my next appointment my gum has healed and my tooth felt great!
Case Study 2 – Before treatment.
Case Study 2 – Sealing material into the root perforation.
Case Study 2 – Immediately after treatment.
Case Study 2 – After 6 months. Note how the bone surrounding the tooth is in a healing process.
