Root canal perforation pain

What should one expect after a root canal? What is a root canal and when is it necessary? How long will a root canal procedure take?

A root canal is likely to have failed if symptoms begin again and this can happen many years after the treatment was completed. Symptoms may be pain , tenderness on biting, swelling of the gum overlying the roots , increased mobility or the presence of sinus pus.

Endodontic stripping is an oblong, vertical perforation that occurs especially in the middle section of a curved root canal , caused by excessive instrumentation of the internal wall during the removal of the organic material from the endodontic space and the tridimensional shaping of the canal by a progressive conical preparation. Stripping refers to a thinning of a curved wall followe eventually, by its perforation. If the tooth was not infected around the tip of the root , that’s when overfilling is likely to cause pain after a root canal. It’s rare, but a tiny bubble of air can also be forced out of the root tip , causing pressure and pain. A root canal perforation is when a dental instrument accidentally rips an unnatural hole through the tooth into the surrounding gums or bone.

Root perforation may complicate the success of root canal treatment if not managed correctly and immediately. It smelled just like the sodium hypochloride that the dentist used to flush my roots.

A tooth perforation is a pathologic or iatrogenic communication between the root canal space and the periodontal apparatus. To clinically determine if an endodontically perforated tooth should be extracted or save the clinician must first understand the prognosis and treatment. The biologic response of a perforated tooth is inflammatory and can cause a breakdown of the osseous and periradicular tissues. The diagnosis of root perforation is mostly based in the symptoms and radiographic examinations. The classic symptoms are the sensitivity of the instrument introduction into to the root canal and bleeding.

It sounds like you had a complication with the root canal in that a perforation was made in the root of the tooth during the process of cleaning out the living part of the tooth. A root perforation can cause the root canal to fail but if the perforation is small and was managed correctly by filling the canal with a reparative filling material you can still get years of useful life from your tooth. However, if you wait to long and have a large infection under the tooth it may be difficult to make the tooth adequately numb.

Root canal solves this problem and eliminates the pain. A root canal involves deep cleaning inside the canals (the inner chamber of the root) of your tooth, which can in turn irritate surrounding nerves and gums. The existing inflammation of the periodontal ligaments around the root suggestions of the infected tooth is the most common cause of tooth pain after root canal treatment. The pain shouldn’t last forever. Pain during a Root Canal ? There are three main reasons you may get pain during a root canal : Infection.

On occasions, for whatever reason, it can be difficult to numb a tooth in order to extract it and the same goes for a root treatment. Missing root canal : the number of root canals varies from tooth to another.

A missing root canal may contain inflamed or dead pulp tissues and bacteria, causing toothache, dental abscess, and root canal complications. Simply put, a perforation in the root canal space is a hole in the tooth wall that exposes the material inside the tooth to the periodontal and osseous tissues outside the tooth. This hole could be formed by caries or resorptive defects, or they may be iatrogenic, occurring during the preparation. A perforation is defined as the pathological or iatrogenic communication between the root canal space and the periodontal tissue. In the present case, the perforation was present in the distolateral midroot area of the upper right central incisor, which might have been caused during access preparation.

AAE Glossary) Accidental root perforations, which may have serious implications, occur in approximately 2– of endodontically treated teeth, according to Ingle, Kerekes, Seltzer and many other authors. They both confirmed that is was a perforation of the root that happened during the root canal procedure months earlier. Basically my body was reacting to the hole in the tooth and trying to get rid of it (reject it).
