Endodontist in Paris

What is endodontics?

Endodontics is a branch of dentistry focused on the health of the inside of the tooth, including the pulp and root canals. Endodontists are dental professionals trained in endodontics to diagnose and treat problems affecting the dental pulp, such as inflammation, necrosis or infection.

Why undergo endodontic retreatment?

Sometimes, a tooth that has already been treated can become infected again. This may be due to a very old or incomplete treatment that has allowed bacteria to enter and multiply in the root canals. This chronic infection often causes no symptoms.

In this situation, endodontic retreatment should be considered to prevent the infection from progressing and forming a cyst. The old filling material is removed, then the canals are thoroughly cleaned and disinfected. They are subsequently filled, allowing the restoration of the tooth to be completed.
