FAQ –

1. How much time is needed for one tooth RCT ?

Usually it takes 3 to 4 appointments for single RCT by BDS graduates. they need total 2 to 4 Hrs of working time in separate appointments of half to 1 hr each. so you need to visit multiple times.

But Endodontist MDS post-graduates can perform Single sitting RCT. they need maximum 1 Hr working time that too in single visit.

Note – After RCT Crown Placement on tooth is mandatory in every case,
so time given above is excluding Crown preparation & placement.
( which further needs 4 appointments & 5 working days to manufacture your crown in dental labs )

2. How Endodontist can help you with Comfortable Painless RCT ?

Endodontist are MDS i.e. they are masters in that field,
they studied RCT for 3 more years than graduate dentist,
they are well trained to perform reliable + accurate RCT,
it is convenient & time saving as they are expert in doing single sitting root canal.
you will be needed to eat less antibiotic for less days (minimum 3 days), as you are getting treatment done in single visit.

3. How Rotary or Machine driven RCT is better than traditional Hand held file system ?

Rotary Machines are having three basic components –

A- Apex Locator – which works digitally to give us accurate reading that how far is root apex from top of the crown.

B – Rotary Handpiece with adjustable Torque – which rhythmically controls cleaning and shaping of complete root canals.

C – Rotary File system (e.g. Protaper Next, Heroshapers or gold plated files ) – which are made up of Titanium alloy base so are stronger yet more Flexible + offer less chances of file separation inside canals which was common with traditional K-files handheld system.

it is convenient & time saving as all three components together are expert in getting what we need for a best quality root canal treatment.

4. Why do many RCT fail ?

A – Most important is Choice of Dental Clinic ?
B – Choice of Doctor – Graduate or Post-graduate ?
C – Use of Advanced Technology ?
D – Justified Time given to the procedure ?
E – Patient Co-operation – having complete Medication on time to time basis ?
E – Medical Conditions – BP , Diabetes (Sugar), Thyroid, Blood Disorders etc
F – Post operative care – missed placement of crown after RCT, Eating Hard Food stuff, any kind of trauma on that tooth e.g. Fall from Vehicle or opening lid of bottle.

5. What will happen if I don’t put crown after RCT ?

Post operative care – Placement of Crown is mandatory after RCT, but many people fail to get it done as after RCT pain is relieved so practically their first priority to meet a dentist is pain & if it is solved then they think other steps are not required or they at least try to postpone them as late as possible,

which leads to further damage on tooth treated earlier as it becomes brittle due to lack of nutrition through blood supply, next step is your tooth will fracture in small small pieces and one day you may have to loose it due to ignorance.
