Tooth Perforation Repair
Restore the integrity of your tooth after accidental or disease-related perforations using advanced bio-compatible materials.
The Process
We carefully clean the affected area, control bleeding, and seal the perforation with bioactive materials like MTA (mineral trioxide aggregate) using a rubber dam for isolation. In complex cases, surgical intervention may be required.
The Results
Timing is critical. Prompt sealing of small, deep perforations—especially near the root tip—can yield excellent long-term results. Larger or more exposed perforations may carry a more guarded prognosis.
Care Tips After Getting the Treatment
Maintain gentle oral hygiene to prevent disturbance of the seal
Attend follow-up visits to monitor healing and detect any complications
Avoid biting hard foods; restoration may still need reinforcement

What is Tooth Perforation Repair?
A perforation is a hole in the root or crown created by decay, resorption, or accidental over-instrumentation during root canal treatment. Repairing it is essential to prevent infection and preserve the tooth's structure.
Benefits of Tooth Perforation Repair
Seals off pathways that allow bacteria to invade surrounding tissues
Helps retain your natural tooth by preventing spread of infection
Supports long-term dental health with proper, timely intervention
When It’s Recommended
If a perforation is detected during or shortly after root canal procedures
In case of decay-caused or resorptive holes in the tooth structure
