Specialized Treatments for Complex Cases
At Subash Dental Care, we go beyond routine dental treatments to provide specialized endodontic care for complex cases where conventional root canal treatments may not be sufficient. Re-RCT (Root Canal Re-Treatment) and Apicoectomy (Endodontic Surgery) are advanced solutions designed to save teeth that are still infected or problematic even after initial treatment, ensuring lasting relief and oral health.
What is Re-RCT (Root Canal Re-Treatment)?
A Re-RCT is performed when a previously treated tooth develops persistent infection, reinfection, or pain. This may happen due to:
What is Apicoectomy?
- Incomplete cleaning of canals during the first treatment
- Missed or extra root canals not treated earlier
- Complicated root canal anatomy
- Leakage from a damaged crown or filling
- New decay around the treated tooth
- Remove the old root canal filling
- Thoroughly clean and disinfect the canals again
- Refill and seal them with advanced techniques
- Restore the tooth with a new crown for strength and protection
An Apicoectomy is a minor surgical procedure performed when conventional root canal or Re-RCT cannot fully resolve the infection. It involves:
- Making a small incision in the gum tissue near the affected tooth
- Removing the infected root tip (apex) and surrounding infected tissue
- Sealing the root end to prevent reinfection
Apicoectomy is often called a root-end surgery and is highly effective in saving teeth that would otherwise need extraction.
When Are Re-RCT & Apicoectomy Needed?
These treatments are recommended in cases of:
Persistent infection after root canal treatment
Pain or swelling around a previously treated tooth
Presence of cysts or abscesses at the root tip
Complicated root canal structures
Teeth that need to be preserved instead of extracted
