Retrograde filling is a specialised endodontic procedure performed when conventional root canal therapy has failed. At London Dental Specialists, our endodontists create a small incision in the gum tissue to access the root tip directly. We then remove the infected tissue at the apex of the root and place a biocompatible filling material to seal the canal from the bottom up. This procedure is typically recommended when a traditional retreatment approach cannot adequately address persistent infection.
You might need a retrograde filling at London Dental Specialists if:
At London Dental Specialists, we primarily use Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA) for retrograde fillings due to its superior sealing ability and biocompatibility. Other materials that may be used depending on the specific case include Biodentine, Super EBA cement, and glass ionomer cement. Our specialists select the most appropriate material based on your specific clinical situation to ensure optimal outcomes and longevity.
Orthograde filling is the conventional approach where the filling material is placed through the crown of the tooth, working down towards the root tip. Retrograde filling, performed at London Dental Specialists, approaches the root from the opposite direction—accessing the root tip surgically and placing the filling material from the bottom up. Retrograde filling is typically performed when orthograde approaches have failed or are not feasible due to anatomical constraints or obstructions in the canal.
At London Dental Specialists, retrograde filling procedures are performed under local anaesthesia, ensuring you feel no pain during treatment. Some mild discomfort, swelling, or bruising may occur after the procedure as the surgical site heals. Our specialists provide detailed post-operative instructions and appropriate pain management recommendations to ensure your comfort throughout the recovery process.
Retrograde filling procedures at London Dental Specialists have a high success rate of approximately 85-90% when performed by our experienced endodontists. Success rates can vary based on factors such as the complexity of the case, the condition of the surrounding bone, and the presence of other dental issues. Our specialists conduct thorough assessments before recommending this procedure to ensure it's the appropriate treatment for your specific situation.
Most patients at London Dental Specialists return to normal activities within 1-2 days after a retrograde filling procedure. Complete healing of the surgical site typically takes 1-2 weeks. During this time, you may experience some mild swelling and discomfort, which can be managed with prescribed or over-the-counter pain medication. The gum tissue usually heals fully within 2 weeks, while bone healing around the root tip continues for several months.
After a retrograde filling at London Dental Specialists, we recommend:
With proper care and regular dental check-ups at London Dental Specialists, a retrograde filling can last a lifetime. The longevity of the treatment depends on maintaining good oral hygiene, attending regular dental examinations, and addressing any new dental issues promptly. Our specialists provide comprehensive aftercare instructions and recommend periodic reviews to monitor the treated tooth and ensure long-term success.
