Pain Case Study

Q4) During a root canal treatment how do you assist the operator in measuring and recording root length? Why is this necessary?

My personal experience of dental pain in high school, helped me develop empathy and interpersonal skills while treating patients as a dentist. By delivering treatment to a large number of patients, I developed manual dexterity and the art of self-critique which helped in improving my work. However in my office, variables such as accessory canals, ledge formation, and instrument breakage were of the major concern that needed to be addressed. To gain practical knowledge and learn more, I started assisting renowned endodontist Dr. Swapnil Kolhe in Nasik, India, once a

Root canals are needed when the dental pulp inside of a tooth becomes infected. This infection has a few different symptoms that should be addressed immediately, if noticed.

During your first appointment following your root canal, your dentist will inspect your tooth and make sure that it has healed properly. Then, your dentist will numb the area around your tooth. They are going to have to file down any rough spots on your tooth to prepare it for the crown. After that, your dentist is going to put a putty-like substance over your tooth. You will have to keep your mouth open while this substance dries. This process can take a while, and you may be a little sore from having your mouth worked on.

I decided to use oraqix because the patient had a few pockets depths between 6-7 mm, and was very sensitive during the power instrumentation. It helped me to effectively remove the plaque and the calculus from the pockets with the hand instruments, but I found that it was not as effective when I used the Cavitron. After the removal of plaque and calculus I reviewed OHI with my patient Evelyn and reinforced the proper use of dental floss and have the patient practice in her mouth. During the afternoon section, I worked on the mandibular arch and as before I started with the power instrumentation. However, I was not able to use it in all the mandibular teeth because some of them had recession, and the patient was extra-sensitive.

We decided to take a PA of the area because that part of the tooth was not visible in the HBW I

She asked the patient if she was experiencing any pain, and with confirmation from the patient, Dr. Douglas took a look at her sore throbbing area later in the appointment. After taking the blood pressure, the intraoral and extraoral exam was done rather quickly with no abnormal findings. I have never had my teeth probed before, so I enjoyed seeing her probe each tooth to get a better feel of what the procedure will entail. The patient had excellent teeth, and Dr. Douglas did not find any caries. Radiographs were not taken since she had them done in our clinic six months ago.

In a way, a root canal is a dental procedure similar to cutting off a limb in a zombie movie. The dentist removes the infection from the inside of the tooth to keep it from infecting the rest of your body and eventually killing you. However, in this instance, you actually get to keep your dead tooth.

Recent surveys about retention procedures, done by (Renkema, et al. 2009) and (Lai, et al. 2014), showed some similarities among orthodontists practicing in various countries, such as a frequent use of fixed retainers on mandibular teeth, and an increased popularity of removable vacuum-formed retainers..
