Reactive bone formation after a root canal procedure is typically caused by the body's healing response to inflammation or infection. After the removal of infected tissue and the cleaning of the root canal, the surrounding bone may react by increasing bone density or forming new bone to repair any damage. Factors such as the presence of residual infection, the quality of the root canal treatment, and the individual’s healing capacity can influence this process. In some cases, it may also indicate a healthy response to the treatment, signaling effective healing.

Can root canal treatment treat bone loss?
Root canal treatment primarily addresses infected or damaged pulp tissue within a tooth, rather than directly treating bone loss. However, by eliminating the infection, it can help prevent further deterioration of the surrounding bone and promote healing. If bone loss has occurred due to infection, additional treatments like bone grafting may be necessary to restore the bone structure. Always consult a dental professional for a comprehensive treatment plan.

Will teeth which have undergone root canal treatment still have chance to feel pain after months?
If a root canal has been done properly, the tooth itself will never feel pain again. The root canal process removes all nerve tissue from the inside of the tooth. However, there will still be nerves surrounding the tooth located in the periodontal ligament that attaches the tooth to the bone. These nerves feel pressure, and help you 'feel' your teeth when you bite down. After a root canal is done, you can still 'feel' pressure-type pain from these outside nerves if you bite on something too hard or break your tooth.
