Upper molar root canal

What is a root canal procedure? Is root canal retreatment necessary? Lower central and lateral incisors - The single root of a lower incisor sometimes has canals. Instea “mesiolingual” (ML) is the term that best describes the canal and its location.

In fact, a maxillary first molar has canals , a few have canals , and some even have canals.

Maybe root canal is the best choice. Well, it has failed – the gum was receding and a cavity formed in the softer tissue of the exposed root. This led to decay under the crown. I did not for one minute think of trying to save this root canal tooth it at this point.

Number 3 a first molar molar , is a major tooth and when it is gone it leaves a BIG space. Other teeth, such as your premolars and molars , have two or more roots. The tip or end of each root is called the pinnacle.

Nerves and capillary get in the tooth through the peak. They take a trip through a canal inside the root , and into the pulp chamber. Certain types of teeth (lower incisors, upper premolars, molars ) and even specific tooth roots (mesiobuccal roots of upper first molars , distal roots of lower 1st molars ) are well known for having the potential to have additional canals. 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.

The common causes affecting the pulp are a cracked tooth , a deep cavity, repeated dental treatment to the tooth or trauma. It is possible to drill into the sinus , but that is a catastrophic and unlikely event following a root canal and is usually related to surgical extraction of upper molars. A study by Stropko evaluated the pulpal floor of upper first molars in the region of their mesiobuccal root (a root that frequently has a very minute second canal ). They did this first by normal visual inspection and then again with the aid of an operating microscope. The access cavity is similar to that of the first molar. The second refers to the tooth treatment aimed at the removal of infected material and elimination of a toothache.

A month later cought a bad cold and the teeth started bothering me. It’s still possible to bite down and crack the root or an existing crack under the crown may grow down the root.

This may cause pain when biting down on the crown in certain ways. Sometimes the pain will come and go. The root canal procedure implies preserving denture integrity.

However, the endodontist will have to remove the pulp inside the tooth and replace it with an artificial material. On the other han an extraction means that your tooth will be remove and most likely replaced with an implant. AAE says always and is the authority on the subject.

Front tooth with lots of decay or broken = Need crown after root canal. The overall average length of the maxillary first molar is 20.
