[kidsdental]

Pulpotomy and root canal are dental procedures addressing pulp issues. Pulpotomy preserves baby teeth by removing affected pulp, while root canal treats permanent teeth by completely removing infected pulp. Both procedures contribute to oral health, preventing infection spread and alleviating pain. The choice between them depends on the tooth type and the extent of pulp damage, ensuring tailored dental care.

made it back from the dentist I had a pulpotomy to help with the pain, I have an infection ofc I do… and nerve death I think

I’m going back next week to talk about root canal or extraction and as always I’m telling him I’m going for the root canal treatment. We be saving this tooth for as long as possible even tho it will be just a shell…

But bitch even with anaesthetic I still felt some of it and I was squeezing some tissue in my hand for dear life. made it through even if I came out sweating and shaking

🫡

I HATE how teeth can be so delicate yet deadly and require so much effort to protect but it doesn’t always work and they just up and die on you..

We’ll see how much pain I have after the anaesthetic wears off

[little-paper-man]

눈_눈 pain and suffering - bad luck streak did not, in fact, end.

went to get my root canals done this morning at the free dental clinic (an hour drive to which already sucks but fine) and because of my stupid combo of small mouth+big teeth they couldn't get good enough x-rays in order to safely do them so they did a pulpotomy on them instead and referred me to a root canal specialist at a different dental place with better equipment.... that's NOT free and will cost $750 per root canal and I need 3 done T~T

Everything Sucks~! Eveeerythinnng Suuucks~!

(If you're wondering how bad the small mouth+big teeth combo is, even my body said 'yeah you got no room for wisdom teeth so you don't get any')

Conservative Approach and Management of Cervical Root Fracture, Case Report by  Alaa Eddin Omar Al Ostwani in Journal of Clinical Case Reports MedicaI Images and Health Sciences

Abstract

Root fracture is a rare dental trauma characterized by separation of the cementum, dentin, and pulp tissues and endangering the tooth survival as well. The impact, depending on its severity and direction, could break through a horizontal, vertical, or oblique plane within the dental root. However, the apical and coronal fragments can be reunited through the deposition of connective tissue, calcified bridge, or a combination between them, whereas failure is considered a result of invading the fracture site by granulation infected tissue. Research showed that the more the horizontal breakage site is locating cervically the less the healing chance will be obtained. Furthermore, sacrificing the coronal fragment could be the inevitable result in case the fracture line is over the alveolar crest.  This case report presented a conservative management of cervical root fracture in the upper left central incisor located at the same level of alveolar crest in 18-year-old male.

INTRODUCTION

Root fracture is a radiographic finding of dental trauma by which the cementum, dentin and pulp tissues will be separated through an oblique, vertical, or horizontal plane at the apical, medium, or coronal level (1-3). The apical and medium transverse fracture can be allocated using occlusal radiograph, while the bisecting angle exposure is used to detect the cervical fracture type (1). Furthermore, Cone Beam Computed Tomography CBCT can be of great benefits for better visualization and determination of the site, direction, and extension of the fracture line especially for complicated cases (1, 4). Clinically, the crown position could be sometimes displaced with visible mobility and tenderness, and pulp test is usually negative except for a few cases in which indicates high percentage of pulp survival (1).

Indeed, the vertical fracture followed by the cervical transverse type are considered with the worst prognosis (2, 3). To date, the common management of the former is achieved via extraction (1), although recently there are successful attempts to reunite the two fragments through the use of bioactive root canal filling materials and endodontic fibre-post along with full crown coverage (5, 6), while the treatment of the latter mainly depends on repositioning the coronal segment in case of displacement then applying a flexible splint usually for four weeks, but can be extended up to four months if the fracture site is close to the cemento-enamel junction(1). Regular monitoring of the broken root is mandatory and, thus, any sign of necrosis clinically or radiographically necessitates an endodontic treatment mostly limited to the coronal segment aiming for apexification at the fractured surface; the reason for this is the difficulty to determine an accurate working length at an irregular and oblique root fracture plane (1, 7, 8). On the other hand, if the root fracture is located over the alveolar crest, the excision of the coronal fragment will become inevitable. Subsequently, an orthodontic traction, crown lengthening, or surgical repositioning of the remaining root accompanied with gingival recontouring or osteoplasty can be carried out to relocate the fracture plane in more appropriate coronal position through which the intracanal fibre-post and the full crown coverage will be better seated with respect to the biological width and marginal gingiva (1, 9, 10). On the other hand, the development of immature permanent incisors and the radicular pulp should be maintained after removing the coronal fragment. Therefore, it is advisable to perform partial pulpotomy using either of calcium hydroxide dressing or non-staining calcium silicate followed by reinforced glass ionomer or composite restoration aiming for apexogenesis. However, in the severe and non-restorable cases, coronectomy can be a suitable option to maintain the alveolar bone for subsequent implant installation (1).

In fact, research is still ongoing to maximize the survival rate of the teeth undergone root fracture. Hence, this case study reported a successful conservative management of cervical root fracture in the upper left central incisor located at the same level of alveolar crest in 18-year-old male.

Case presentation

An 18-year-old male patient was referred to paediatric dental clinic to treat broken anterior tooth after falling down the stair at school one week ago. The orthopantomogram taken in another clinic showed cervical root fracture in the upper left central incisor 21 (figure 1). No displacement was noticed but the crown was tender to percussion with a noticeable mobility. The pulp test, using Endo Ice spray (-50o), revealed that all upper incisors 11, 12, 21, 22 were positive, and the sulcus depth was within the normal range 2.5 millimetre MM. The patient and his parents were advised that the fractured tooth can be saved, and the treatment plan was discussed with them in collaboration with the referring dentist, then an informed consent was obtained before treatment. After debriding the upper incisors with Chlorhexidine 0.12%, a flexible splint using steel arch wire was adhered to the labial surface of the four upper incisors with composite, and the patient was advised to keep on soft diet for two weeks in addition to maintaining an optimum oral hygiene by using soft brush and chlorhexidine 0.12% mouth wash for seven days. The interproximal caries in 11, 21 were treated conservatively after two weeks utilizing indirect pulp capping technique to preserve the pulp, and an aesthetic composite restoration was applied over. Interestingly, When the splint was detached after four months, there was a noticeable improvement regarding the mobility and tenderness to percussion, also the sensibility test was still positive. Indeed, the patient was cooperative and taking care of his tooth perfectly by eating gently, brushing with care, and avoiding any thermal stimuli. The reason for this meticulous care was explained by the patient himself in his own words: “I consider this tooth is mainly for aesthetic not for function, just to avoid putting any implant or artificial tooth instead”. However, because the youth was studying and working at the same time as he was the breadwinner of his family, the next observation was carried out after three years of dental trauma. Clinically, the tooth was asymptomatic and responding well to pulp test with normal mobility, also the gingival probing was within the normal average 2.5 mm. In addition, a localized fibrous connective tissue was observed on the labial gingiva at the same estimated level of the fracture line (figure 2). The periapical radiograph revealed that the root fracture was still visible through a thin radiolucent line at the same level of the crestal bone without any resorption or pathology around (figure 3).

DISCUSSION

Root fracture is considered a serious dental trauma threatening the survival of the tooth in the oral cavity (2). Studies disclosed different types of interactions among the periodontium, dentin, and pulp at the fracture site by which the healing process will be directed and outlined (2, 3, 10). Commonly, the connective tissue will be interposed as a mediator connecting the two fragments together through a radiolucent line on radiograph. The second type of healing is formed by the interposition of radiopaque calcified tissue at the fracture site, whereas the least common is established by intermediating the fracture site by a combination of bone and connective tissue (4). However, failure can be recognised by the presence of granulation tissue invading the root fracture site accompanied with surrounding bone resorption. Clinically, the coronal fragment will suffer from increasing mobility and gingival swelling at the fracture site in addition to discharging sometimes through the gingival sulcus (4, 10).

This case study is distinguished by the healing process of a challenging cervical root fracture, located at the same level of alveolar crest, probably achieved through the interposition of connective tissue at the fracture site. Indeed, the periodontal ligament, junctional epithelium and the connective tissue attachment acted as an active barrier and prevented the intraoral bacteria from invading the fracture site; this can be added to the meticulous oral hygiene and care maintained by the patient after dental trauma. Actually, the splinting duration in this case repot was only for four months, whereas a current conservative management of cervical root fracture was carried out through long-term stabilization by using an orthodontic wire adhered to the palatal surface of upper central incisors (11).

As a matter of fact, this case report has many limitations including the lack of regular observations according to the International Association of Dental Traumatology, in addition to the limited quality of radiographs. In fact, the patient was busy and engaged in his studying and working. Therefore, he hardly came back for follow up after three years, also he had Radiophobia and, thus, no other radiographs were taken to get better visualization of the fracture direction and healing process.

In a conclusion, within the limitations of this case report, the conservative management of cervical root fracture might be of great benefit to help the patient avoid the complicated prosthodontic procedures and maintain aesthetics.

Root Canal Treatment: A Path to Pain-Free Oral Health

A root canal may sound daunting, but it is a standard dental procedure that plays a crucial role in saving damaged or infected teeth and restoring comfort. Root canal treatment is both safe and effective, providing relief from pain and preventing more serious dental issues down the line. With proper care, you can maintain your natural smile and avoid complications such as tooth extraction or further infection.

Your Root Canal Experience: Comfortable, Safe, and Effective

Root canal therapy is designed to remove infection, preserve the natural tooth structure, and improve overall dental health. By utilizing modern techniques, dental professionals aim to make the experience as comfortable as possible while ensuring long-term results. The procedure is straightforward and is a key solution to address infections deep within the tooth that, if left untreated, could cause more severe dental concerns.

What is a Root Canal?

A root canal becomes necessary when the soft tissue inside the tooth, known as the pulp, becomes inflamed or infected due to decay, trauma, or other factors. During the procedure, the infected tissue is removed, the inner tooth is cleaned, sealed, and restored. Timely treatment is crucial to prevent the infection from spreading, which could lead to increased pain or even tooth loss.

Types of Root Canal Treatments

There are various methods of root canal treatment, each tailored to specific dental needs:

Conventional Root Canal: The most common method where the infected pulp is cleaned out, the canals are disinfected, and the tooth is sealed to prevent future infections.

Apicoectomy: This surgical procedure is used when infection persists, involving the removal of the root tip and surrounding tissue.

Pulpotomy: Often used for children's teeth, this procedure removes only the infected portion of the pulp, leaving the rest of the tooth intact.

Single Visit Root Canal: For those seeking convenience, this option allows the entire procedure to be completed in one appointment without compromising results.

Retreatment: If a previous root canal fails or infection returns, a retreatment can help restore the tooth’s health.

Benefits of Root Canal Treatment

Choosing a root canal offers several benefits, including:

Pain Relief: Immediate relief from the discomfort caused by tooth infection or inflammation.

Tooth Preservation: Keeping your natural tooth helps maintain your smile and chewing function.

Prevention of Further Damage: Removing the infection prevents it from spreading to other teeth.

Improved Oral Health: Addressing deep infections ensures long-term oral health.

Cost Efficiency: A root canal can save you from more expensive procedures like extractions or implants.

The Root Canal Procedure: A Smooth Process

The dentist begins with a thorough examination, including X-rays, to evaluate the condition of the tooth.

Local anaesthesia is administered to ensure a pain-free experience.

A small opening is made in the tooth to access the infected pulp.

The infected tissue is removed, and the canals are cleaned, shaped, and disinfected.

The canals are filled with a biocompatible material and sealed.

A crown or filling is placed to restore the tooth’s strength and function, ensuring long-term durability.

Endodontics in BTM 2nd Stage, Bangalore — Perfect Dental Studio

What is Endodontics?

Endodontics is the branch of dentistry that deals with the inside of the tooth, specifically the dental pulp and tissues surrounding the tooth roots. The word “endodontics” comes from the Greek words “endo,” meaning inside, and “odont,” meaning tooth. This specialty is crucial for diagnosing and treating diseases of the dental pulp, which consists of nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissue.

When the pulp becomes infected or inflamed due to deep decay, repeated dental procedures, or trauma, endodontic treatment — often referred to as a root canal treatment — is necessary to save the tooth.

Common Endodontic Procedures at Perfect Dental Studio

At Perfect Dental Studio, we offer a variety of endodontic procedures to address the specific needs of each patient. Our goal is to save your natural teeth and restore their function and appearance. Here are some common endodontic procedures we perform:

Root Canal Treatment

Root canal treatment is one of the most common endodontic procedures. It is performed when the dental pulp becomes infected or inflamed, causing significant pain or leading to an abscess. During the procedure, the infected pulp is removed, and the inside of the tooth is carefully cleaned and sealed to prevent further infection. A crown is often placed on the tooth afterward to protect it and restore its function.

At Perfect Dental Studio, we utilize advanced technology to ensure a pain-free and effective root canal treatment, helping you preserve your natural tooth and avoid extraction.

Retreatment of a Failed Root Canal

In some cases, a tooth that has undergone root canal treatment may not heal properly or become reinfected. In such instances, endodontic retreatment is required. This involves reopening the tooth, removing the previous filling materials, cleaning the canals, and resealing them.

Our experienced team takes extra care in retreatment cases to ensure that the infection is fully eliminated and the tooth remains healthy for years to come.

Apicoectomy (Surgical Root Canal)

When a standard root canal or retreatment is not sufficient to eliminate infection, an apicoectomy may be necessary. This surgical procedure involves removing the tip of the tooth’s root (apex) and any surrounding infected tissue. The end of the root canal is then sealed to prevent future infections.

Apicoectomy is a highly effective procedure for saving teeth that would otherwise need to be extracted. At Perfect Dental Studio, we perform this surgery with precision, ensuring minimal discomfort and a smooth recovery.

Treatment of Cracked Teeth

Cracked teeth can be painful and lead to serious complications if left untreated. Depending on the severity and location of the crack, endodontic treatment may be needed to save the tooth. Our team will assess the damage and determine the best course of action, whether it involves a root canal treatment or other procedures to restore the tooth.

Pulpotomy and Pulpectomy (For Children)

Children can sometimes develop pulp infections due to decay or trauma. In such cases, pulpotomy or pulpectomy procedures are performed to remove the infected pulp while preserving the healthy portion of the tooth. This helps maintain the structure and function of the tooth as the child grows.

Why Choose Perfect Dental Studio for Endodontic Care?

Is there possible way to Kill Tooth Pain Nerve in 3 Seconds Permanently?

 It's natural to wish for a quick fix to instantly eliminate tooth nerve pain, as this discomfort can seriously disrupt daily life. However, the idea of permanently killing tooth nerve pain��in just three seconds is simply not realistic. While we all want fast relief from toothaches, achieving permanent relief requires understanding the root cause and seeking professional treatment. This article will explain what tooth nerve pain feels like, the potential causes, and some quick home remedies, and professional treatments.

Causes of Tooth Nerve Pain

Tooth nerve pain can arise from two main types of sensitivity:

Pulp Sensitivity

Pulp sensitivity occurs when the inner pulp of the tooth, which contains blood vessels and nerves, becomes inflamed. Common causes include:

Cavities

Cracked, chipped, or broken teeth

Worn enamel

Improper dental procedures (e.g., crowns, fillings)

Tooth injury or trauma

Dentinal Sensitivity

Dentinal sensitivity happens when the dentin, the tooth's inner layer, is exposed. This can result from:

Untreated cavities

Teeth whitening products

Receding gums

Tooth decay

Tooth fractures

Gum disease

How Tooth Nerve Pain Feels

Tooth nerve pain can vary from a minor ache to severe, sharp pain. Common sensations include:

Sensitivity to certain foods

Discomfort from hot or cold temperatures

Dull or constant ache

Sudden sharp pain without warning

Everyone experiences tooth nerve pain differently, but the goal is the same: to find lasting relief.

Professional Treatments for Tooth Nerve Pain

A dentist can diagnose the cause of tooth nerve pain and provide treatments for long-term relief. Some common treatments include:

Root Canal

In this procedure, the dentist removes the infected or inflamed pulp from the tooth, then seals it to prevent further damage. This can eliminate pain and save the tooth.

Pulpotomy

Similar to a root canal, a pulpotomy involves removing the affected part of the pulp, particularly in teeth with deep decay, and sealing the healthy portion to preserve the tooth.

Tooth Extraction

If the tooth is too damaged to save, extraction may be necessary. Although drastic, this can provide immediate relief and prevent complications.

Dental Filling or Crown

For less severe cases, a filling or crown may be recommended to repair the tooth and protect the exposed nerve. Pain medication may also be prescribed to manage discomfort during healing.

Temporary Relief Techniques for Tooth Nerve Pain

While seeing a dentist is essential for permanent relief, there are some temporary methods to ease the pain:

Cold Compress: Applying a cold compress can numb the area and reduce inflammation. Use an ice pack or a bag of frozen vegetables wrapped in a towel for 10–15 minutes several times a day.

Medication: Over-the-counter pain relievers like NSAIDs (e.g., Advil, ibuprofen) or Tylenol (acetaminophen) can help reduce pain and inflammation.

Saltwater Rinse: Rinsing your mouth with warm saltwater can temporarily alleviate pain.

Desensitizing Toothpaste: This type of toothpaste can help block pain signals from exposed nerves, though it requires a few weeks of consistent use to be effective.

Additionally, avoiding hot, cold, acidic, or spicy foods can help prevent further irritation.

Conclusion

Killing tooth nerve pain permanently in just three seconds is impossible. To achieve lasting relief, a visit to the dentist is necessary to diagnose the root cause and receive the appropriate treatment. While waiting for professional care, temporary pain relief techniques can help manage the discomfort.
