Multi-Session Root Canal Treatment

Multi-Session Root Canal Treatment

Infections that develop in the pulp tissue, which contains the blood vessels and nerves of the teeth, may sometimes extend beyond the interior of the tooth. Bacteria causing tooth infections can reach the root of the teeth and spread to other tissues in this area. In this case, various problems may develop in the tissues surrounding the root of the tooth. Depending on the level of infection, root canal treatment alone may be sufficient to restore the health of these tissues. In such cases, the ideal treatment plan is a multi-session root canal treatment.

What is Multi-Session Root Canal Treatment?

Multi-session root canal treatment involves the removal of the infected blood vessels and nerves in the tooth, as well as additional procedures to eliminate the infection. In these procedures, a special medication is applied to the canal to disinfect the tissues, and this medication must remain in the canal for a certain period of time. Therefore, the first session is not sufficient to complete the treatment.

Why would someone need multiple root canals?

  • If the infection has not spread to the tissues surrounding the tooth root, a second treatment session may be necessary if a long one cannot be scheduled.
  • In the presence of curved or blocked canals, multiple treatment sessions may be required to ensure ideal mechanical cleaning.
  • For people with various jaw joint diseases, short-term and multi-session treatment applications can be planned to prevent irritation of the tissues in the joint area.
  • In cases where the infection has spread to various tissues, additional applications may be necessary for them to heal. In such cases, multi-session root canal treatments must be applied.
  • Planning multiple treatment sessions is the ideal approach when infection develops in teeth that have lost their vitality.
  • There are a number of reasons why an infection in a tooth that has previously received root canal therapy could return. In such cases, multiple treatment sessions are required to clean the area thoroughly.

 

The advantages of multi-session root canal treatments

  • It allows for short-term treatment plans without putting strain on the jaw joints.
  • It enables the treatment of certain infections that develop in the jawbone due to teeth.
  • Special medication can be applied during interim sessions to ensure disinfection of the root canal.
  • It helps to evaluate the effects of the treatment to some extent before restoration.

How Are Multi-Session Root Canal Treatments Performed?

At the beginning of the treatment, local anaesthesia is administered as needed to ensure that the process is comfortable. The teeth to be treated are isolated, and the decayed tissue on their surfaces is cleaned. Then, the unsupported tooth tissue areas are removed and the root canal openings are prepared.

While the root canals are cleaned with mechanical abrasives and special washing solutions, the area around the tooth root is prepared so that the infection can be removed. The area is cleared of infection as much as possible, and a special medication is applied to the canals. The tooth is temporarily filled to ensure the effectiveness of the medication, and a suitable date is set for the second session.

In the next session, the medication is removed from the tooth canals, and the condition of the area is checked. If the infection persists, the medication is reapplied and the tooth is closed with a new temporary filling. This procedure is repeated until the infection is eliminated, and when ideal conditions are achieved, the root canal is filled. The treatment is then completed by planning the necessary restorations for the relevant teeth.
