La repetición del tratamiento endodóntico

Con el cuidado adecuado, sus dientes que han tenido un tratamiento de endodoncia durarán tanto como otros dientes naturales. Aún, un diente que ha recibido tratamiento puede no sanar o el dolor puede continuar existiendo. Algunas veces, el dolor puede aparecer meses o años después del tratamiento. Si es así, Dr. Sleeth may need to perform La repetición del tratamiento endodóntico.

Improper healing may be caused by:

  • Curved or narrow canals that were not treated during the initial treatment.
  • Complicated canals that went undetected during the initial treatment.
  • The crown or restoration was not placed within the appropriate amount of time following the procedure.
  • The crown or restoration that did not prevent saliva from contaminating the inside of the tooth.

En algunos casos, new problems can influence a tooth that was successfully treated:

  • New decay can expose a root canal filling material, causing infection.
  • A cracked or loose filling or crown can expose the tooth to new infection.

Una vez que se ha seleccionado el retratamiento como solución a su problema, los médicos volverán a abrir su diente para acceder al material de obturación del conducto radicular. Este material de restauración se eliminará para permitir el acceso al conducto radicular.. The doctors will now clean your canals and carefully examine the inside of the problematic tooth. Once cleaned, the doctors will fill and seal the canals and place a temporary filling in the tooth.

At this point, you will need to return to your dentist as soon as possible in order to have a new crown or restoration placed on the tooth to restore full functionality.
