What is a repeat root canal treatment?

Re-treatment of a root canal (reendo) is a dental procedure in which the canals of a tooth are reworked and disinfected, and then filled with a suitable material. Reendo is performed when the original treatment was not successful. Factors such as incomplete cleaning of the canals, the presence of additional canals, or the development of infection despite treatment may necessitate this step.

How does a repeat root canal treatment go?

Root canal re-treatment consists of several stages:

• Removal of temporary filling – removing the old filling to access the root canals.
• Cleaning of the canals – the dentist removes the remains of old material and disinfects the canals.
• Canal filling – using specialized materials, the entire root canal space of the tooth is tightly filled.
• Placing a new filling – the tooth is restored with a permanent filling or crown.

Indications for repeat root canal treatment

Reendo is recommended in situations where the following problems exist:

• Toothache after primary treatment,
• Persistent inflammation around the root of the tooth visible on X-ray,
• stray tools that may have been left over from previous treatment,
• The presence of undetected additional channels,
• contamination of channels or the tightness of the original fill.
