What Exactly Is a Root Canal Treatment?
The procedure involves tooth disinfection and the removal of all debris (nerve tissue, lymph tissue, blood tissue, bacteria and infection) from the pulp chamber and its associated canals. Once the canals are totally cleansed and shaped, they are filled with materials designed to prevent pain and infection from recurring.

What exactly is a Root Canal Re-Treatment?
Old techniques of root canal treatment were not able to totally clean the canals and the risk of infection and abcess formation is always present. That's why we recommand "root canal Re-treatment" to treat or to prevent infections resulting from a previous deficient treatment.
