Hi there, anybody able to comment on these ......? What is the recommended interval between RCT and filling. The 2 months my dentist recommends seems particularly protracted. What are the most common complications following RCT and their reasons ? What are the most likely reasons for failure of an RCT and what is their time interval ? Is the use of a dam highly recommended during RCT Thanks >Hi there, > >anybody able to comment on these ......? > >What is the recommended interval between RCT and filling.

It was delayed in case the tooth must be reopened due to emergency. >What are the most common complications following RCT and their reasons ? Abscess does not clear up and apicoectomy or retreatment in indicated. Tooth can also split in half so be careful biting if a crown is suggested (until the crown is on). >What are the most likely reasons for failure of an RCT and what is their >time interval ? > >Is the use of a dam highly recommended during RCT YUP, an inhaled file is a certain lawsuit! Joel M. Eichen DDS >Thanks I try to restore the tooth permanently before the patient goes home. That means, minutes after finishing the RCT. I seal the RCT, switch instruments, and bond the crown in place. Waiting any length of time is only needed for convenience or if there is some extenuating circumstance that you need to verify proper healing of a fistula, or bony defect, etc.  Signature~+--~+--~+--~+--~+-- Stephen Mancuso, D.D.S.

Crown is recommended for most situations. >What are the most common complications following RCT and their reasons ? Varies by individual and particular tooth. RCT works 95 -98 % of the time if done well. >What are the most likely reasons for failure of an RCT and what is their >time interval ?
