Q1. What is endodontic retreatment?

Endodontic retreatment is a procedure performed on a tooth that has previously had root canal treatment but has developed infection, symptoms, or another endodontic problem.

Retreatment may be recommended when a previous root canal did not completely heal or when a new infection develops. Causes can include missed or difficult-to-clean canals, inadequate sealing, new decay, or problems with the tooth’s restoration.

Possible signs include tooth pain, sensitivity, swelling, tenderness when biting, or a recurring infection around a previously treated tooth. Sometimes there may be no noticeable symptoms, and the problem is discovered through an examination or dental imaging.

Modern endodontic techniques and local anesthesia are designed to make retreatment as comfortable as possible. Some tenderness or sensitivity may occur after treatment and generally improves as the tooth heals.

In many cases, yes. The goal of endodontic retreatment is to eliminate infection and preserve the natural tooth whenever it can be successfully treated and restored.
