Overview of Root Canal Reshaping Surgery

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.
