What to know about endodontic treatment

1.Filling treatment 1.It is used to repair the tooth defect caused by decay, trauma and wear and tear. The filling materials mainly include silver amalgam, composite resin, composite, glass ion, etc. There are differences in performance and price, you can make a choice according to the situation. 2.It takes 24 hours to fully cure the silver amalgam filling, avoid chewing on the affected side within 24 hours after filling. 3.For teeth with large defects, heavily worn teeth and teeth with tight bite, the filling treatment can be applied to the teeth with a large defect. For teeth with large defects, heavily worn teeth and teeth with tight bite, the filling may break and bite pain may occur after filling treatment. If further treatment is needed (change to other materials or other methods), new costs may be added. 4, a few days to weeks after filling treatment of dental defects, the affected teeth have slight hot and cold sensitivity symptoms are mostly normal reactions, generally can be self-relieved. However, if there is spontaneous pain or biting pain, or if the hot and cold sensitivity does not improve for a long time, the pulp may have inflammation, which requires timely follow-up and continued treatment. In order to increase the chance of protecting the living pulp, for the deep caries that cannot be diagnosed as pulpitis, the doctor takes filling treatment as a rule, once the above symptoms appear, pulp treatment is needed. You need to bear the cost of continuing treatment. 5.For the case of filling falling off within three months after filling, except for the trial retention treatment agreed in advance, only the cost of continuing treatment will be charged, not the cost of filling material for this treatment. If other materials and methods are used instead, only the difference in price will be charged. II. Endodontic treatment 1. Endodontic treatment is applied to teeth suffering from pulpitis and apical inflammation, mainly including root canal treatment and plastination treatment, etc. Root canal treatment is a common treatment method internationally, the process is more complicated and the cost is higher; plasticized treatment is less expensive and is suitable for some cases where root canal treatment is not possible or the patient cannot afford the cost of root canal treatment. 2. In order to relieve pain during endodontic treatment, it is necessary to cooperate with local anesthesia. Please inform your general condition truthfully so that the doctor can choose the appropriate anesthesia method for you. After the injection of local anesthetics, you may experience discomfort such as rapid heartbeat for a short period of time, which can usually be relieved by yourself after lying down. Local anesthesia may result in local hematoma and restricted mouth opening, which can be relieved by itself. Cold compresses or physical therapy can promote symptom reduction. 3. Pulpitis treatment generally requires pulp inactivation, which takes about 10-14 days (pulp extraction can also be done directly under local anesthesia). Please follow the doctor’s instructions for regular follow-up after the sealant. Pain and other uncomfortable symptoms during this period are mostly due to the reaction after sealing. If the pain is more severe, please consult the doctor in time, or go to the emergency department during non-regular clinic hours. 4, root canal treatment is a more complex endodontic treatment method, which requires pulp deactivation, root canal preparation, root canal filling and multiple x-rays to complete the whole process. During and for a period of time after the treatment, pain and other uncomfortable symptoms may occur, most of which are normal reactions and can be followed up by the appointment time. If the pain is severe, accompanied by local swelling and systemic reactions, you should follow up in time for further treatment as appropriate. In case of complex root canals (bending, narrowing, calcified obstruction, broken instruments, lateral penetration) or other special conditions, root canal treatment will be more difficult and require the use of special equipment and materials, and the treatment time and cost will be increased accordingly. For the possible fracture of instruments in complex endodontic treatment, it is not required to forcibly remove the fractured instruments, which can be left in the root canal as part of the root canal filling material and will not be harmful to the organism. 6.During and after endodontic treatment, the fracture resistance of the tooth is reduced and it is easy to split, which leads to tooth extraction. Please avoid using the affected tooth to chew hard objects after treatment, or follow the doctor’s instruction to perform full crown restoration or pile crown restoration in time. 7. After endodontic treatment, the body has a repair process, and some patients may feel uncomfortable with the treated tooth for a considerable period of time. If the situation is not gradually aggravated, the method of observation can be adopted, but medical advice should be followed for timely review. Endodontic treatment has been unsuccessful in a few cases. For cases that cannot be treated by conventional endodontic treatment or have failed to be treated, apical surgery can be used to continue the treatment. Aesthetic restoration can improve the color and shape of the teeth to a certain extent, but it cannot be fully consistent with the natural teeth. Patients should fully understand the degree of improvement before surgery and choose carefully. 2, aesthetic restoration of teeth can not achieve the original chewing function, should avoid excessive biting force when using. In case of accidental damage and loss, it can be repaired again or changed to other treatment. If the tooth falls off within three months of normal use, the material fee charged for the previous visit will be waived and only the difference in price of the new items will be charged. 3, a few days to weeks after the aesthetic restoration treatment, the affected teeth have slight hot and cold sensitivity symptoms are mostly normal reactions, generally can be self-relieved. However, if there is spontaneous pain or biting pain, or if the hot and cold sensitivity does not improve for a long time, the tooth pulp may have inflammation, and it is necessary to follow up promptly and continue the treatment as appropriate. You will need to bear the costs associated with continuing treatment. 4. For aesthetic restoration, some normal tissues need to be removed. In case of repeated treatment, more tissue will be removed. You should be aware of and understand this treatment procedure. 5.Aesthetic restoration can change the appearance of teeth, but it does not change the ability of teeth to resist diseases, so you should pay more attention to the method and efficiency of oral health care after the operation to prevent the occurrence of tooth decay and periodontal disease. I have read in detail and fully understand the above, I am willing to assume the possible risks in the treatment and comply with the medical advice and agree to receive the treatment.
