Micro Endodontics in Coimbatore
The short answer: Micro-endodontics uses magnification to see the tiny canals inside a tooth during root canal treatment or retreatment. Better visibility helps locate hidden canals, remove old material and treat difficult cases. It does not replace skill and careful technique, and it is used where a case calls for it.

Root Canal Redo
Root canal retreatment is a second treatment for a tooth that has become painful or infected again after an earlier root canal. The old filling is removed, the canals are cleaned and disinfected again, and the tooth is resealed. It can often save a tooth that would otherwise be extracted.
