Root Canal Perforation Repair

Root canal perforation occurs when a hole or crack is unintentionally created in the tooth during the root canal procedure. This can happen due to factors such as a narrow canal, improper techniques, or the fragility of the tooth's structure. A root canal perforation can damage the internal structure of the tooth, increasing the risk of infection. If left untreated, these infections can lead to the loss of the tooth.

Early intervention is crucial in ensuring the long-term health of the tooth. Root canal perforation repair is performed by specialized dentists, who place a special filling material into the affected area. This filling material restores the tooth and eliminates the infection risk.

After the perforation repair, the tooth can regain its normal function. The treatment process often requires multiple visits, as the healing process may take some time. Repairing a root canal perforation is a vital step in preserving the health of the tooth, and early diagnosis significantly improves the success of the treatment. When the tooth structure is preserved, root canal therapy can be completed successfully.
