French term

par plus ou moins importante

French to English Medical Medical (general) Dentist website
Root canal explanation section

Une fois les canaux remplis et étanches, un pansement provisoire est posé. La dent sera reconstituée par plus ou moins importante. Ce qui pourra se diagnostiquer lors d’examens radiographiques. Les canaux sont nettoyés selon un protocole précis.

Is this sregarding the order of the process? I.e., ". .this is the most important step." or something...?

It's grammatically incorrect in French so I think that something is definitely missing here

The text is online, so the source is easily identifiable. Could you contact them or, if it's through an agency, ask them to do so?

It's worth noting that "important" in French can also mean "big".
ph-b (X) Mar 9, 2020:
Source text flawed La dent sera reconstituée par plus ou moins importante is meaningless. Something is missing. The various websites that use this sentence use a different text.
