Root Canal Renaissance
Advancing Oral Technology in Endodontics
Root Canal Therapy is mainstream care. Extractions are not always the correct treatment of choice when a non-invasive root canal can return your pet to a normal life within 48 hours post endodontic care.
Worn teeth, cracked or fractured teeth, discolored teeth affected by pulpitis; caries [cavities]; and teeth with other pathology of the endodontic system [the important canal within the tooth] can be root canal candidates.
A root canal is a treatment to repair and save a badly damaged or infected tooth. The procedure involves removing the damaged area of the tooth (the pulp), cleaning and disinfecting it and then filling and sealing it. As stated above, the common causes affecting the pulp are a cracked tooth, a deep cavity, repeated dental treatment to the tooth or trauma. The term "root canal" comes from cleaning of the canal inside the tooth's root.

It is important to remember that endodontic dental x-rays must be taken with the patient under general inhalation anesthesia. No patient should ever have a root canal without pre-root canal dental x-rays; intraoperative dental x-rays; and follow-up dental x-rays in 6-12 months post-endodontic care.
The diagnostics and the procedure are always performed at the same time. If not going to an animal dentist for a root canal please ask the general practitioner about their training in root canal therapy and how many root canals they have performed in that training period.
Human dentists many times assist general practitioners in the root canal treamtment of pets. If this is the case, please meet the human dentist and find out their experience in animal endodontics. Again, no individual should be performing endodontics in animals without the availability of digital oral radiology.

ReplyDeleteLarge animal surgical instruments include biopsy Instruments, abdominal Instruments, teat instruments, anesthesia Instruments, hoof care instruments, obstetrical Instruments, and many more.
ReplyDeleteHandling large animals is much harder than handling small ones. So, these tools have a more robust structure and ergonomic design. However, the size of the instrument is also a great concern when professionals have to use it for large animals.
Thanks for sharing this! I never realized how important animal dental care is for pets. Something I’ll pay more attention to.
