When and Why Do We Need Dressings During RCT?

Have you ever wondered why a root canal treatment (RCT) specialist asks for an extra appointment(s) during the treatment? There might be a need for additional time to ensure proper care and thoroughness in the process.

The success of Root Canal Treatment depends on the identification and elimination of the microorganisms. Their elimination from the root canal system promotes healing of the peri-radicular tissues.

We, at The Dental Roots, give Intracanal Dressings or medications in certain clinical situations such as

• 1. Weeping canals (root canals are not dry, presence of exudate)
• 2. Traumatic injuries
• 3. Large periapical lesions
• 4. Internal resorption

Calcium hydroxide continues to be the first choice of medication and the gold standard material for giving intra-canal dressings.

The Dressing is placed for a period of 5-7 days to inhibit any further growth of microorganisms. This is further sealed with a temporary filling to prevent further bacterial ingress, pending definitive treatment.

And not to forget, his procedure is absolutely painless and further makes sure that the following sessions come across as painless root canal treatment Delhi and Gurgaon.

Thus, making the treatment only an appointment longer than usual but only in certain cases.
