What is the meaning of Endodontic Retreatment?

Endodontic Retreatment is widely used term in Dental Procedures.

Endodontic retreatment refers to a dental procedure performed when a previously treated tooth requires further treatment due to persistent infection or other complications. It involves the removal of previous root canal fillings, post-placement materials, and any additional obstacles within the root canal system. The aim of endodontic retreatment is to thoroughly clean and disinfect the affected root canal system before resealing it, ultimately providing an opportunity for the tooth to heal and saving it from extraction. This procedure may involve the use of specialized instruments, such as magnification devices, ultrasonics, and dental materials to ensure optimal results.
