A previous root canal may occasionally fail because of persistent infection, untreated canals, fractured restorations, or reinfection. Rather than extracting the tooth, retreatment can often save it successfully. Careful evaluation using modern diagnostic methods helps identify the underlying cause before treatment is planned. Dr. Rupali Karale has extensive experience in managing failed root canal cases through advanced retreatment techniques and endodontic procedures. Her goal is to preserve the patient's natural tooth, eliminate infection, relieve discomfort, and restore long-term oral health with minimally invasive and evidence-based treatment.
