Root canal treatment may have some complications. A common condition is severe inflammation of the teeth and extra steps are needed to calm the teeth. Root canal toothpaste is placed in the teeth for several weeks to reduce tooth pain. After this time the pain has been eliminated and the root canal treatment can be completed.
In some cases, there may be obstructed tubing and it is difficult to completely treat the root canal system. Clogged pipes may be due to calcium deposition from the teeth. In this case, we make every effort to pass through the calcified area and seal the canal. If the effort is unsuccessful, root canal surgery may be required to seal the root canal at the end of the humerus.
Another rare complication that can occur during root canal treatment is the placement of a small crushing instrument in a narrow tube. Despite the presence of small objects, sometimes the root canal system can still seal properly. If not, root canal surgery may be necessary to properly seal the pipeline from future infections.
Another complication that may occur is the missed canal. Due to the complexity of the root canal system, additional tubing may not be found during initial entry into the teeth. Unfortunately, this can make the teeth not completely sealed and susceptible to infection and pain. However, advances in cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) in dental imaging have enabled dentists to perform more detailed analysis of teeth before treatment. These images help to avoid this complication.
