[Retreatment Root Canal Treatment] I had retreatment root canal treatment at another dental clinic, but it still feels uncomfortable. The story of a second retreatment root canal treatment for a male patient in his 40s.

Hello.

Welcome to my blog.

I’m Dentist Jeon Jun-hee, who performs root canal treatment in Sinchon.

To briefly introduce my background:

• Graduated from Seoul National University School of Dentistry

• Internship and residency at Seoul National University Dental Hospital

• Specialist in conservative dentistry and PhD in dentistry

• Visiting faculty member at Seoul National University Dental Hospital

My hobby is root canal treatment, and my specialty is also root canal treatment.

• Pulp-protective treatment using MTA

• Advanced root canal treatment using a surgical microscope

• Retreatment root canal treatment, and sometimes second retreatment root canal treatment as well.

Today, I’d like to tell you the story of a male patient in his 40s who was able to save a precious molar with second retreatment root canal treatment.

He came to our clinic at the end of last year, and treatment was completed at the beginning of this year.

The treatment period was about a month and a half, which is relatively fast for second retreatment root canal treatment.

The basis of a dental checkup is panoramic imaging. There still isn’t anyone at the dentist who says, "I won’t take an X-ray," right?

As of 2025, if you are insured under the National Health Insurance system (most people), for only 10,700 won,

you can obtain a vast amount of information about your teeth, gums, maxillary sinuses, temporomandibular joints, and jawbone.

It is the best-value test in dentistry.

He came to our clinic while undergoing retreatment root canal treatment at another dental clinic.

The maxillary sinus was filled with inflammation. (= the empty space between the upper molars and the nose, beneath the cheekbone)

Of course, it may not have been inflammation originating from the tooth.

If you have rhinitis or are in the middle of a cold, it can look like this on a CT scan.

The reason the problem had not been clearly resolved despite continuing root canal treatment at previous dental clinics was a hidden root canal.

After finding and cleaning the root canal that had been missed in previous treatments under a surgical microscope,

the symptoms disappeared immediately, and the signs of inflammation in the maxillary sinus also disappeared.

We completed the root canal treatment neatly.

The finishing touch for molar root canal treatment is a strong zirconia crown.

Natural teeth, especially molars, can’t be bought even if you have money. Implants are good too, but they can’t compare with the comfort of natural teeth.

Each time I save a tooth from the risk of extraction, I feel professional fulfillment and joy.

If you have been told that retreatment root canal treatment is necessary, or if you have a tooth that is facing extraction after root canal treatment,

please take a look around my blog a little more. I hope you find helpful insights.
