4 deliverables in this treatment

- Removal of old root-filling material under magnification
- Re-cleaning, disinfection and re-sealing of the canals

Re-treatment of a tooth that has had a previous root canal but remains symptomatic or re-infected.

Because the work is more demanding than a first treatment, it is priced slightly higher per canal.
