Después de la terminación del tratamiento endodóntico
Endodontic treatment has now been completed. El sistema de conductos radiculares ha sido sellado permanentemente.. Sin embargo, la superficie exterior se sella con una restauración temporal. A follow-up restoration must be placed to protect your tooth against fracture and decay. Please telephone your restorative dentist for an appointment. A complete report of treatment will be sent to your restorative dentist. Included in your treatment is a follow-up examination to evaluate the progress of healing. Este nombramiento requerirá sólo unos pocos minutos, y sin costo adicional será cargado para la primera visita de control. Por favor llame para una cita durante el mes siguiente.
Su diente es más propenso a la fractura inmediatamente después del tratamiento endodóntico. Debe masticar del otro lado hasta que su odontólogo restaurador ha colocado un muñón y una restauración protección, usually a crown. If your tooth’s strength is seriously compromised, su endodoncista o dentista restaurador puede colocar un poste y muñón dentro del diente. Your restorative dentist and endodontist will determine the appropriate restoration to best protect your tooth.
¿Existen problemas potenciales Después de Tratamiento?
- Lower teeth and nerve injury. There is a slight possibility that nerve injury can occur during root canal surgery to the lower posterior teeth. Su endodoncista está capacitado para evaluar esta posibilidad antes del tratamiento y le asesorará en consecuencia. For lower posterior teeth, the root tips may be near a nerve that supplies feeling to the lip, chin and gums. Your endodontist is trained to design your surgery to minimize the chances of damaging this nerve. Rarely, this nerve can become irritated during the process of surgery. In these cases, when the local anesthesia wears off, you may experience tingling, altered sensation or, in rare cases a complete lack of feeling in the affected tissues. Si esto ocurre, it is usually temporary and will resolve over a period of days, weeks or months. In rare cases, these changes can be permanent and/or painful.
- Upper teeth and sinus communication. The upper teeth are situated near your sinuses, y la cirugía del conducto radicular puede dar lugar a una comunicación entre la boca y el seno adyacente. Should this complication occur, it will usually heal spontaneously. We will give you special instructions if this is apparent at the time of surgery. We prefer that you don’t blow your nose for two to three days after surgery. Si usted tiene que estornudar, usted debe estornudar con la boca abierta en un pañuelo. You should not create any pressure in the sinus area. If you sense a complication after surgery, por favor, póngase en contacto con nosotros.
- Post-operative infections. Post-operative infections occasionally occur. This usually requires just an office visit and examination. Many times placing you on an antibiotic for one week will take care of the infection Occasionally, other follow-up procedures will be needed.
