If last week we explained what an unirradicular endodontics is, in this post we tell you 5 things that many of our patients wonder about birradicular endodontics. Have you ever heard this term before? To find out all the information on this topic, read on!
What is biradicular endodontics?
Biradicular endodontics is performed on teeth that have two roots and two pulp canals. In this case, it would be the premolars and some molars.
Like other types of endodontics, it involves the removal of soft tissue (dental pulp) that has become infected and can cause pain, particularly under a premolar or molar.
How long does biradicular endodontics take?
The duration of a biradicular root canal depends on the oral health of the patient and the state of infection and inflammation of the tooth and gum. However, in most cases, the procedure is usually performed in one to three sessions of one to two hours each.
Once the intervention has been performed, the specialist will recommend you to attend different check-ups to verify that everything is in perfect condition.
Are teeth more fragile after biradicular endodontics?
Although it is quite common to hear that teeth are more fragile after root canal treatment, the truth is that this is a myth. When biradicular endodontics is performed, it is vital to carry out a series of special cares.
For example, it is essential to carry out an adequate and exhaustive oral hygiene in order to reduce the probability of new infections.
Also, in some cases, due to the removal of tissue, it may be advisable to place a dental crown to strengthen the tooth.
Does a biradicular root canal hurt?
The great benefit of any type of endodontics is just the opposite: to eliminate the pain produced by an infection of the tooth pulp.
In addition, this procedure is performed under local anesthesia so the patient does not suffer any pain or discomfort during the intervention.
What is the price of a biradicular root canal?
The price of a biradicular root canal depends on the patient’s oral health and the number of sessions required.
