What Does It Mean to Repetition of Root Canal Treatment?
The reconstruction of root canal treatments that were previously performed but failed for various reasons is called Retreatment. One of the most important reasons for the failure of root canal treatment is incompletely filled canals without effective enlargement and cleaning.
At the same time, the causes of the root canal treatment failure are ; the failure of the root canal treatment and leakage, damage to the teeth by the posts placed on the canal to support the tooth, the inability to find and treat the canals of the teeth, the puncture of the tooth from a wrong place and the tool breakage in the canal. If root canal treatment is unsuccessful, a second root canal treatment should be done.
How is Root Canal Renewal Application Applied?
It is examined whether the treatment is unsuccessful, together with the severe pain in the area where root canal treatment is applied and the patient's complaints. All restorative materials applied in previous treatment are removed before retreatment is performed. Since infection is generally seen in unsuccessful root canal treatments, it is difficult to eliminate.
During retreatment, the old root canal filling is completely removed, the canal is cleaned, shaped and refilled. There are various techniques used in removing old root canal filling. If the tooth is filled with gutta-petcha, which is the current root canal filling material, this material is tried to be removed first. This operation is done quickly by using rotary systems. As usual, the inside of the root is washed with disinfectant substances and the bacteria are removed. When the root canal is healed, it is filled and closed again.
If a tooth has had a root canal treatment that failed, repetition root canal treatment will be both difficult and with a low success rate. Therefore, the second root canal treatment should be performed by specialist dentist in this retreatment field.
Causes of New Infection in Root Canal Treated Teeth
Root canal treatment is repeated in case of infection in the tooth. Among the reasons for having root canal treatment for the second time can be; new caries in the tooth, falling or breaking of the permanent dental filling or crown dental veneer, bacteria transmission of fillings and porcelains, cracks and fractures in the tooth.
Root canal treatment repetition will be difficult in some cases. If there is a post application on the tooth and the presence of a newly made crown, endodontic surgery is applied instead of repetition of the root canal treatment. Therefore, it should not be thought that each failed root canal treatment will be renewed. If it is done under appropriate conditions, the possibility of retreatment success is over 80-90%. You can get more reliable information by asking your dentist about how to do retreatment and is the second time root canal treatment risky.

Well I have just visited and had my first phase of treatment,throughout the process ,I have been in contact with Arina who has guided me throughout the process ,with prices,hotels,transfers and any questions I needed answering ,I came off the plane and my transfer was waiting for me to take me to hotel,I stayed at the La Marge,a lovely hotel and the staff couldn’t have done anymore,very friendly and always helpful,day 1 I was picked up in the morning by the transport and met by the lovely Anya who put me at ease straight away,day 1 is exhausting but getting most of it all done is the best way,I left there sore and a bit swollen,but had all the antibiotics,painkillers,mouthwash,ice packs to help,personally I went back straight to sleep and woke up in the morning,it was a lot better,all the staff at Tulay are first class,the cleanliness and professional manner in which they all shown was amazing,i want to thank them all and see you in September for Phase 2
I must say that the whole process is completely digital. First, they take your 3D jaw tomography and explain everything in detail, you get all the info about the process before your treatment. For mouth impressions, they use a 3D scanner which is one of the best ones (believe me I researched a lot about these things while choosing a clinic). They also have their own lab and your crowns are done there, that’s why everything s done super fast! I enjoyed my experience at Akkol Dental
Big shoutout to Anya! As a foreigner, communication is key, and Anya made everything clear and easy, she explained the process from start to finish and I felt safe at this place. Doctor Adnan did my crowns and the result was fantastic!

I came to Antalya to get zirconia crowns, and I’m beyond happy with the results! Coordinator Arina was incredibly helpful from start to finish, she explained every step of the process, helped me with transportation, and made sure I was comfortable the entire time. Dr. Rifat is a true artist, he carefully designed my new smile, and my crowns look very natural and beautiful. The procedure was painless, and the clinic’s technology is top-notch. Now I can smile with confidence again! Highly recommended

Where do I start? I would like to extend my gratitude to Arina and all the crew at Tulay Akkol dental centre. Arina was absolutely fantastic throughout the entire process and really excelled in great customer service. From the moment I arrived in Turkey with my family the transfer to the hotel was smooth and stress free. The hotel we stayed in was fantastic and the staff there were lovely. I personally would like to thank the dentist for excellent work and for being very patient and understanding. I can't speak highly off Tulay Akkol and the fantastic treatment I received for my smile makeover. Arina, you are a star and thank you for everything.
