One of the most common situations we encounter is the patient who comes to the office after being recommended for extraction.<\/p>

Most of the time, the reason is a large infection at the root, an old root canal treatment that failed, extensive damage seen on the x-ray, or significant coronal destruction.<\/p>

The question is almost always the same:<\/p>

\u201e<\/strong>Can he still be saved?<\/strong>\u201d<\/strong><\/p>

Many patients believe that when a large infection appears on an X-ray, the tooth is lost.<\/p>

In reality, the purpose of endodontic treatment is to eliminate the cause of infection and create the necessary conditions for the body to heal.<\/p>

These canals contain pulp tissue, blood vessels, and nerve endings. When bacteria colonize these spaces, the body reacts, and an area of inflammation and bone resorption may appear around the root. This is the area that shows up on an X-ray as a lesion. The size of the lesion often reflects the duration and progression of the infection but does not automatically determine if the tooth needs to be extracted.<\/p>
