My tooth already had a root canal and it is reinfected. What are my options?
A. The basic options are extraction, apical surgery, or endodontic retreatment. We prefer to retreat the root canal rather than jump to the surgical option if possible. Apical surgery virtually eliminates the retreatment option, and apical surgery has a low chance of success if the canal space is recontaminated with bacteria and micro leakage.
