Making a correct diagnosis can be very difficult when symptoms are vague and clinical and radiographic signs are inconclusive.
Some patients have limited opening, which can make access to posterior teeth very difficult.
These can be difficult to locate and are usually found in the older patient, the heavily restored tooth or one that has suffered trauma.
These can be difficult to locate and are usually found in the older patient, the heavily restored tooth or one that has suffered trauma.
These can be quite difficult to deal with and require particular techniques and instrumentation. Without them, ledging, blocking, stripping or perforation of the canal is easily done.
Previous endodontic treatment that has failed may be best dealt with by an expert. This includes dealing with blockages and perforations, the removal of posts as well as existing root filling materials – including pastes, gutta percha and silver points as well as fractured instruments.
This is a hazard of endodontic treatment. Separation of instruments happens to everyone at some time but this is not a negligent act. Do tell the patient what has happened.
Using ultrasonic’s and other advanced post-removal kits we are able to remove almost all posts avoiding the need for surgical intervention giving a better long-term result.
A hazard when locating canals or incurved canals or often during post preparation. We use MTA and a number of related products to successfully repair all types of perforation.
