🦷 After root canal treatment, when is extraction and dental implant necessary?
Not every tooth can be preserved long-term after a root canal.
In some cases, periapical infection or bone loss may continue, requiring a more definitive solution.
📍 Today’s clinical case:
* Tooth #12 had previous root canal treatment but was no longer restorable
* Extraction of tooth #12
* Bone grafting to rebuild the lost bone
* Implant placement in the correct position during the same appointment
👉 This approach helps to:
* Completely eliminate infection
* Prevent further bone loss after extraction
* Create a stable foundation for long-term restoration
* Ensure optimal esthetics, especially in the front tooth area
🔎 When should you consider a dental implant after a root canal?
* Persistent pain or recurring infection after root canal treatment
* Presence of cysts or periapical lesions
* Severely damaged tooth that cannot be restored with a crown
* Bone loss around the root
📌 A root canal doesn’t always guarantee a tooth will last forever — regular follow-ups and proper evaluation are essential.
