Why would you need a second root canal on the same tooth?
A root canal treatment involves the elimination of bacteria from the infected root canal, the inflamed or infected pulp is removed, and the inside of the tooth is carefully cleaned and disinfected, then filled and sealed. Research and development of new techniques and materials have increased the predictability and longevity of the root canal treatment. You may need a retreat in the same tooth if it doesn’t respond and heal as expected. The number, size and shape of the patient’s root canals may have complicated the procedure.
