Root canal treatment

Dr. Purva Jingar., BDS
 

Medical Case Details:

Last month I got one interesting case of RCT in government dental college and hospital where I found a 32 years old lady came to me with a complaint of paining tooth. She was afraid and LA was not working on her. I motivated her for the treatment and she agreed to go without LA. It was hard for her. On first day I made a class 1 cavity on her 46 and filled it with temporary restoration (cavitemp).
Then, I recalled her after 3 days. She was normal and confident in the next meet. I removed temporary and started to work and she was fine even after access opening. Then, I again gave her temporary restoration and recalled her after 3 days.
She came back with more confidence and then I started her BMP and while I was doing this I noticed that files were not reaching the complete length of root. It was not touching apex. As a junior dentist I asked my senior colleagues about ways to remove the blockage. It was 2mm to 4mm short in 3 roots. And then I decided to remove blockage with 10 number K - file. But it seemed twisted after few trials. Then, I tried H files and they also failed to remove the block. And then I decided to do BMP on the same short length and patient was fine even after 3 days of next recall.
She came back to me for obturation and I did it with the advice of one senior doctor and she is doing fine till now.

Hi doctor..

I have been through similar cases twice and many a times if the tooth is completely disinfected and the canals are obturated appropriately with proper seal then the tooth remains assymptomatic and there are lesser chances of flare up of Infection or Treatment failure..

Although the best way is to obtain an apical seal but in some exceptional cases a bit short obturations also work well..

Congratulations for the successful Treatment..

Regards.
