Good morning,
I am 29 years old and I suspect I have an infection (without pain) at the root of tooth 31 that was devitalized 12 years ago.
When pushed back and forth with my fingers it has a slight mobility, I will not go into details of other health problems that
in my opinion are caused by this infection.
The dentist suggested a root canal retreatment.
My question is, if the root canal treatment was done perfectly the first time and then got infected, why should or
could it be curative the second time? In other words, it is not clear to me how the infection is treated and why even if it were treated
it should not then recur
Can anyone give me their very personal opinion on what is the best material to fill the canal with?
Is it possible to use silver instead of gutta-percha?
The priority is not to allow infections to form.
Thanks a lot to those who respond. Any advice is welcome
PS forgive my bad English, I'm Italian
