Retractment of Root Canal Treatment
Steps Involved in IVF:
Procedure Description
Retractment of root canal treatment, also known as endodontic retreatment, is a procedure performed when a previous root canal fails to heal or new problems develop in the affected tooth. This treatment is essential for removing bacteria, debris, or obstructions that may have been left behind during the initial procedure or for addressing new issues such as additional decay or a fracture in the tooth.
During the retractment procedure, the dentist or endodontist reopens the treated tooth to access the root canal filling material. This involves carefully removing any crowns, posts, or fillings to gain entry into the tooth’s inner chamber. Specialized instruments are then used to extract the previous filling material from the canal. The endodontist meticulously cleans and shapes the canal again, eliminating any signs of infection or debris. Once cleaned, the canal is filled anew with a biocompatible material and sealed to prevent future bacterial intrusion.
This procedure can be technically demanding, as it involves navigating complex root canal anatomy, especially in cases where the original treatment was inadequate or new complications arose. Advanced imaging technologies, such as cone beam computed tomography (CBCT), may be used to map out the internal structures of the tooth, ensuring thorough cleaning and effective treatment.
Procedure Duration
The duration of root canal retractment can vary significantly based on the complexity of the case. In general, the procedure is typically completed within one to two hours, but more complicated cases may require multiple visits.
Initial Visit: The first appointment often involves a thorough evaluation, including X-rays and a comprehensive oral examination. If the root canal retreatment is deemed necessary, the dentist or endodontist will begin the process by removing any existing restoration material to access the canals.
Main Treatment Phase: The main phase can take one or more sessions depending on the number of canals and the extent of infection. During each session, the professional will clean and reshape the canals, possibly placing a temporary filling if more time is needed between appointments.
Follow-Up and Recovery: After the final filling and sealing of the canal, a temporary crown may be placed. The patient is typically monitored for a few weeks to ensure healing and symptom resolution. Complete recovery usually takes a few weeks, during which mild pain or sensitivity may be experienced but can be managed with over-the-counter pain medications.
Benefits
- Preservation of Natural Tooth: Retreatment allows for saving the original tooth, maintaining the integrity of the patient’s dental structure.
- Reduced Risk of Future Complications: Proper retreatment can eliminate infections and prevent potential complications like abscesses.
- Improved Functionality: The restored tooth can regain full functionality, aiding in better chewing and speaking.
- Less Invasive than Extraction: Unlike tooth extraction, root canal retractment is less invasive and maintains natural aesthetics.
- Cost-Effective Long-Term Solution: Although initial costs may be significant, preserving the tooth reduces the need for more extensive future procedures like implants.

- Turkey: Combining expertise with affordability, Turkey has emerged as a top choice for medical tourism, especially for dental treatments. Patients benefit from experienced dentists, excellent facilities, and cultural attractions.
Risks & Considerations
- Tooth Fracture Risk: Retreatment can make the tooth more susceptible to fractures, especially if structural integrity was compromised during the initial treatment.
- Persistent Infection: In some cases, even after retreatment, the infection may persist, requiring additional treatment or an alternative approach.
- Discomfort and Sensitivity: Temporary pain or sensitivity following the procedure is common and usually manageable but may last longer in complicated cases.
- Multiple Appointments Needed: Depending on the complexity, retreatment may require several visits, which can increase the overall treatment time.
- Financial Cost: While it can be a cost-effective long-term solution, the upfront cost of retreatment, especially if performed abroad, should be considered carefully.
How to Choose the Right Doctor and Hospital
Selecting the right dental professional for root canal retractment is essential for optimal outcomes. Look for practitioners with advanced training in endodontics and those who use modern imaging technologies, such as CBCT, to ensure a thorough and precise approach.
When choosing a hospital or clinic, consider facilities that are known for maintaining high standards of hygiene, using advanced tools, and having good patient reviews. Check for certifications and accreditations that indicate adherence to international safety and quality standards. Additionally, seek feedback from previous patients to gain insights into the quality of care and overall experience.

Frequently Asked Questions
What actually happens during hyperstimulation of the ovaries?
The patient will take injectable FSH (follicle stimulating hormone) for eight to eleven days, depending on how long the follicles take to mature. This hormone is produced naturally in a woman’s body causing one egg to develop per cycle. Taking the injectable FSH causes several follicles to develop at once, at approximately the same rate. The development is monitored with vaginal ultrasounds and following the patient’s levels of estradiol and progesterone. FSH brand names include Repronex, Follistim, Menopur, Gonal-F and Bravelle. The patient injects herself daily.
What happens during egg retrieval?
When the follicles have developed enough to be harvested, the patient attends an appointment where she is anesthetized and prepared for the procedure. Next, the doctor uses an ultrasound probe to guide a needle through the vaginal wall and into the follicle of the ovary. The thin needle draws the follicle fluid, which is then examined by an embryologist to find the eggs. The whole process takes about 20 minutes.
What happens to the eggs?
In the next step, the harvested eggs are then fertilized. If the sperm from the potential father, or in some cases, anonymous donor, has normal functionality, the eggs and sperm are placed together in a dish with a nutrient fluid, then incubated overnight to fertilize normally. If the sperm functionality is suboptimal, an embryologist uses Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection to inject a single sperm into a single egg with an extremely precise glass needle. Once fertilization is complete, the embryos are assessed and prepared to be transferred to the patient’s uterus.
How are the embryos transferred back to the uterus?
The doctor and the patient will discuss the number of embryos to be transferred. The number of successfully fertilized eggs usually determines the number of eggs to be placed in the uterus. Embryos are transferred to the uterus with transabdominal ultrasound guidance. This process does not require anesthesia, but it can cause minor cervical or uterine discomfort. Following transfer, the patient is advised to take at least one days bed rest and two or three additional days of rest, then 10 to 12 days later, two pregnancy tests are scheduled to confirm success. Once two positive tests are completed, an obstetrical ultrasound is ordered to show the sac, fetal pole, yolk sac and fetal heart rate.
Embryoscope©
Built into this technology there is a microscope with a powerful camera that allows the uninterrupted monitoring of the embryo during its first hours of life. In this way, we can keep a close eye on the embryo, from the moment when the oocyte is inseminated and begins to divide into smaller and smaller cells, until it can be transferred to the uterus.
