Endodontic Healing Potential

ENDODONTIC HEALING POTENTIAL 2

Posted on by Renovo Endodontic Studio

ENDODONTIC HEALING POTENTIAL: Here we present a case of the potential of healing disease with proper endodontic treatment. Pre-operatively the case displayed a large distal root lesion with significant furcation involvement, buccal swelling and probing that could essentially reach the root apex. Without any definitive proof of non-restorable tooth/root fracture, including pre-operative CBCT, we decided to initiate root canal treatment with the intent of saving the tooth. Upon the initial appointment the case was completely instrumented and medicated for 8 weeks (no sponge/cotton pellet used). At the completion appointment, we had already noted significant lesion healing with no clinical signs […]

IS COMPLETE CANAL CALCIFICATION TREATABLE?

Posted on by Renovo Endodontic Studio

IS COMPLETE CANAL CALCIFICATION TREATABLE? Many would look at this case and think that it is impossible to treat. This patient reported a history trauma which caused accelerated calcification and subsequent devitalization and infection of the tooth in question. The process of calcification is actually a protective mechanism used by the pulp (or “nerve”) to protect itself against further trauma. Consequently, it can make root canal treatment extremely difficult for the clinician who has to treat it years down the road. Although the task is difficult, and sometimes seemingly unable to be done, the characteristic of the reactive calcified material […]

THE DENTAL EMERGENCY

Posted on by Renovo Endodontic Studio

THE DENTAL EMERGENCY: This case was referred to us because of extreme pain associated with tooth #30. The root canal had been performed by the restorative dentist who had done seemingly well done endodontic treatment and coronal restoration. As evidenced in the CBCT, we were able to identify the source of failure to be an untreated DB canal. Upon access and canal location, we acheived immediate drainage for quite some time. To considerations for this case: 1] The treatment was completed in one visit because we were able to acheive a completely dry canal system after disinfection. 2] We decided […]
