Saving your own tooth
Sometimes, even after endodontic treatment, infection or complications can return. Re-endodontics is a repeated root canal treatment that removes residual infection and preserves your own tooth.
This procedure is intended for patients who want to avoid extraction and preserve the function of their teeth , even if the original treatment was not completely successful.
What is re-endodontic treatment?
Repeated root canal treatment
Re-endodontics is the repeated treatment of a tooth’s root canal in a tooth that has previously been endodontically treated, but the infection has returned, the canals have not been cleaned sufficiently, or other complications have occurred. The treatment is performed under a microscope , which allows for precise visualization of even very narrow or curved canals, effective removal of old fillings and remnants of infection, minimizes the risk of damage to surrounding structures, and significantly increases the chance of long-term preservation of the tooth.
Re-endodontics is suitable if:
How is re-endodontic treatment performed?
Repeated endodontic treatment step by step
- Diagnostika a rentgen
Lékař provede vyšetření a snímky, aby zjistil stav předchozího ošetření, rozsah infekce a plánoval postup. - Odstranění staré výplně a čištění kanálků pod mikroskopem
Původní výplň se odstraní a kanálky se důkladně vyčistí a dezinfikují s využitím mikroskopu, který umožňuje odhalit i velmi úzké a zakřivené kanálky. - Plnění kanálků a dočasná výplň
Kanálky se uzavřou novým materiálem a zub se doplní výplní, která chrání zub před infekcí a poškozením.
Samotné ošetření většinou probíhá v jedné návštěvě.
Pokud je zub výrazně oslabený, doporučuje se opatřit zub korunkou.

Frequently asked questions
No. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, so you will not feel any pain during the procedure. After the procedure, you may experience some mild swelling or tenderness, which usually subsides within a few days.
With proper care and regular check-ups, an implant can last for decades – often a lifetime.
From implant placement to crown placement, it usually takes 2-3 months, depending on individual healing.
Maintenance is the same as for your own teeth – regular cleaning, dental hygiene and check-ups at the dentist. This is what will ensure that the implant lasts as long as possible.
With early diagnosis and proper treatment, the inflammation can be stopped and the condition of the gums and bone can be stabilized. Advanced damage cannot always be completely reversed, but its progression can be significantly slowed down and your own teeth can be preserved.
The treatment is usually performed under local anesthesia and is gentle. Some patients may experience mild discomfort during deeper root cleaning, but the pain is well controlled.
Warning signs include bleeding when brushing, red or swollen gums, bad breath, loose teeth, or gaps between teeth. Even minor symptoms should be addressed promptly.
With proper care and regular check-ups, a crown or bridge can last 10–20 years or longer.
The tooth preparation and crown placement itself are performed under local anesthesia, so they are painless.
Just like with your own teeth: regular cleaning, interdental brushes, and visits to a dental hygienist or doctor for checkups.
