Root canal retreatment
A stable, safe, and long-term solution for tooth replacement, with a treatment plan tailored to your smile.
Root canal treatment (endodontics)
When inflammation or infection affects the inside of a tooth, with endodontic treatment we strive to remove the cause of the problem and preserve the natural tooth.
CANDIDATES
When is root canal treatment necessary?
In the center of the tooth is the pulp — tissue containing nerves and blood vessels. Deep decay, trauma, or a crack can lead to its irreversible inflammation or infection.
Root canal treatment may be necessary if:
Root canal treatment may be necessary if:
-
you feel spontaneous or pronounced toothache
-
the tooth is sensitive to hot or cold
-
you feel pain when biting
-
there is deep caries
-
The tooth is cracked or traumatically damaged.
-
a swelling or fistula has appeared
-
The recording shows a change around the root apex
-
The tooth changed color after trauma
What is endodontic treatment?
Endodontic treatment involves removing the affected tissue from the inside of the tooth and treating its root canal system.
Canals are cleaned, shaped, and filled to reduce the possibility of re-infection.
After the completion of endodontic therapy, it is important to properly restore the tooth so that it can continue to safely participate in function.

Why does a tooth need final restoration after root canal treatment?
Endodontic treatment solves the problem inside the tooth, but it does not compensate for the structure already lost to caries, old fillings, or access to the canals.
Depending on the amount of remaining tissue, the final restoration can be a filling, inlay, onlay, overlay, or crown.
The goal is to protect the tooth from further damage and enable its stable function.

DC360 PROCESS
What does endodontic treatment look like?
01
Review and record
We are evaluating symptoms, the condition of the tooth, and the area around its root.
02
Access to the interior of the tooth
After preparation, access to the pulp chamber and root canals is opened.
03
Ditching
The affected tissue is removed, and the root system is carefully treated and cleaned.
04
Root canal filling
The cleaned canals are filled in order to seal the interior of the tooth.
05
Tooth closure
The tooth is closed temporarily or permanently according to an individual plan.
06
Final renovation
We are evaluating whether the tooth needs a filling, a ceramic restoration, or a crown for long-term protection.

The procedure is most commonly performed under local anesthesia. After the treatment, temporary sensitivity may occur, especially when biting.
It depends on the type of tooth, the number of root canals, and the complexity of the case. The therapy may require one or more visits.
Symptoms may include spontaneous pain, prolonged reaction to temperature, pain when biting, or swelling, but a final diagnosis is made through an examination and, if necessary, an X-ray.
The goal of the therapy is to keep the tooth in function. Its long-term stability also depends on the amount of remaining tissue and the appropriate final restoration.
No. The type of final restoration depends on the position of the tooth and the amount of remaining healthy structure.
Inflammation can be present in the tissues surrounding the tooth root, which still contain nerve endings.
Durability depends on the quality of the therapy and final restoration, the amount of remaining tissue, the bite, hygiene, and regular check-ups.
In certain cases, it is possible to treat root canals again. This procedure is called endodontic retreatment.
