Root Canal Reshaping Surgery
When the tooth’s pulp (the central part) becomes infected or inflamed, the need for root canal treatment or reshaping becomes more urgent.
Although it may not be recognized as the most comfortable experience, root canal treatments encompass common conservative procedures with a success rate exceeding 90%.
In general, the primary objective of the root canal procedure is to support a tooth that has suffered significant damage or severe infection. Often, an endodontist or a root canal specialist carries out this procedure.
However, there are rare instances where root canal therapy fails to yield the expected outcomes. The treated tooth may not heal properly or patients may encounter complications that jeopardize the tooth's viability.
To address such cases, root canal retreatment or “reshaping” comes into play. This course of action involves the removal of the previous crown and packing material, followed by a thorough cleansing of the root canals.
Subsequently, the tooth is re-packed and re-crowned. In essence, root canal retreatment closely mirrors the original procedure except for structural removal.

Benefits of Root Canal Reshaping Surgery
The benefits of root canal treatment are numerous:
- Preservation of natural teeth: Unlike dentures or implants, a natural tooth provides a superior sensory experience both in terms of sensation and performance. It allows for more effective chewing and maintains the natural alignment of your teeth.
- Minimal discomfort: Root canals are remarkably tolerable compared to other dental procedures such as tooth extractions. Thanks to advancements in dentistry technology and the skill of experienced endodontists, a root canal procedure is often virtually pain-free.
- Efficiency and affordability: Compared to tooth extractions, root canal procedures tend to be quicker and cheaper. This means less time spent in the dental chair and a faster recovery period.
- Potential coverage: Root canal reshaping might be covered by dental plans included within your treatment package.
The Process of Root Canal Reshaping Surgery
During the root canal shaping procedure, your dentist may follow the steps below:
1. Accessing the pulp
Once the tooth and surrounding areas are sufficiently numbed, your endodontist will create a small opening. This can be achieved by drilling through the crown or the biting surface of the tooth.
2. Removing infected pulp
Using specialized tools, your endodontist will carefully remove the infected pulp from the root canals and reshape the roots, if necessary.
3. Filling & sealing
The prepared canals are then filled with a material called gutta-percha, which serves as the root canal filling. This material is carefully inserted to ensure complete coverage.
Risks of Root Canal Reshaping Surgery
Despite the proper execution of reshaping treatment, patients may encounter tooth sensitivity after the procedure.
This sensitivity can arise due to unique tooth structures. Some of the potential risks and complications associated with the procedure also include:
- Calcification of the root canal space: Calcification refers to the deposition of calcium in the canal, which can narrow the space and make it difficult to access and clean effectively.
- Premature tooth structure: Teeth that are premature or have limited tooth structure may be more susceptible to fractures during the root canal procedure.
- Very curved canals: The presence of severely curved canals within the tooth can pose challenges during root canal treatment.
The Cost of Root Canal Reshaping Surgery in Turkey
The cost of root canal reshaping depends on several factors, including the number of targeted canals. In Turkey, the cost of the procedure ranges between 100-300 US dollars.
Some clinics may charge more, depending on the complexity of the procedure. In the United States, such a procedure can cost up to 1000 US dollars, making Turkey a better option in terms of cost.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
You can have surgery after a root canal if your case requires it. For instance, your doctor may suggest a surgery called “apicoectomy”, which is very useful for eliminating inflammation in the body area around the tooth.
The hardest tooth for root canal procedure is the tooth in the upper jaw (maxilla), more specifically the maxillary first molars.
The best option after a root canal is to place a crown on the treated molar in order to protect it in the future.
A tooth will remain healthy after a root canal and more resistant to cavities or other problems. However, like any other structure in the human body, the tooth will brittle and die out eventually.
A root canal can last for a lifetime, but it may require re-treatment or reshaping in many cases. In any case, root canals are very successful procedures that can support the tooth for extensive periods of time.
A root canal could get infected years later, but this is uncommon.
