What is Endosonic RCT?


Endosonic RCT (root canal treatment) is a dental procedure that uses ultrasonic technology to clean and disinfect the inside of a tooth that has been infected or damaged due to decay or trauma. Unlike the traditional RCT done with hand files, endosonic RCT involves the use of a specialised endosonic handpiece, which generates high-frequency sound waves and vibrations that are transmitted to a small file or tip inserted in the pulp canals.

The endosonic handpiece can reach the intricate and hard-to-reach areas of the root canals that traditional hand instruments cannot, making the procedure more thorough and effective. After the canals have been cleaned and shaped, a filling material is placed to seal the canals and prevent further infection.

Endosonic RCT is considered a highly effective and safe procedure for treating infected or damaged teeth and is typically performed by a dentist or endodontist who has received specialised training in the technique. The procedure is usually completed in one or two visits, depending on the complexity of the case and the extent of the damage or infection.

When Should you go for Endosonic Root Canal Treatment?


Endosonic root canal treatment is recommended for patients with an infected or inflamed tooth pulp, which can cause severe pain and sensitivity. This procedure involves using ultrasonic waves to clean and shape the root canal system and is faster than the traditional hand filing system. It is recommended for the patients who wish to get their RCT done in single sitting. It may also be recommended for patients with deep decay or trauma to the tooth.

Classic Signs That You Should go For Endosonic Root Canal Treatment


Severe tooth pain

If you are experiencing severe, persistent tooth pain, especially when you bite down or apply pressure to the affected tooth, it may be a sign of a deep cavity or infection that has reached the nerves and blood vessels inside the tooth.

Sensitivity to hot and cold

If you feel a sharp pain or sensitivity when eating or drinking hot or cold foods and beverages, it may be an indication of nerve damage or infection within the tooth.

Graph

Swelling and tenderness

If you notice swelling, tenderness, or a small bump on your gum near the affected tooth, it may be a sign of a dental abscess, which requires immediate attention.

Discolouration

If your tooth has turned dark or discoloured, it may be a sign that the nerve or blood vessels within the tooth have died or been damaged.

Trauma

If you have experienced trauma or injury to your tooth, such as a crack or chip, it may have damaged the pulp inside, leading to infection or inflammation.

Procedure for Endosonic Root Canal Treatment


Before the procedure, your dentist or endodontist will conduct a thorough evaluation to determine if endosonic RCT is necessary. This may include a dental exam, x-rays, and other diagnostic tests.

  • Anaesthesia: Once the decision is made to perform endosonic RCT, your dentist will numb the area around the affected tooth with a local anaesthetic to ensure that you remain comfortable throughout the procedure.
  • Access: Your dentist will then create a small opening in the top of the tooth to access the pulp chamber and root canals.
  • Cleaning: The endosonic handpiece is then used to gently remove the infected or damaged tissue from the canals, while simultaneously flushing them with a sterile solution to remove debris and bacteria. The endosonic handpiece can reach the intricate and hard-to-reach areas of the root canals that traditional hand instruments cannot, making the procedure more thorough and effective.
  • Shaping: After the canals have been cleaned, they will be shaped to allow for a filling material to be placed inside the tooth.
  • Filling: A biocompatible filling material is then placed into the root canals to seal them and prevent further infection. The opening in the top of the tooth is then sealed with a temporary filling.
  • Follow-up: You will be instructed to return to your dentist or endodontist for a follow-up visit to have a permanent filling or crown placed on the tooth to protect it and restore its function.

Have questions? We have the answers

Endosonic RCT is generally considered more effective than traditional RCT because it allows for more thorough cleaning and shaping of the root canals. The endosonic handpiece can reach areas that traditional hand instruments cannot, resulting in better removal of infected or damaged tissue and a lower risk of reinfection.

Endosonic RCT is considered safe when performed by a qualified dentist or endodontist. However, as with any dental procedure, there is a small risk of complications, such as pain, swelling, or infection. Your dentist will discuss the risks and benefits of endosonic RCT with you before the procedure.

Endosonic RCT may be slightly more expensive than traditional RCT due to the use of specialised equipment. However, the cost can vary depending on the complexity of the case and other factors. It is best to consult with your dentist or endodontist to get an accurate estimate of the cost.

The duration of endosonic RCT can vary depending on the complexity of the case and the extent of the damage or infection. In general, the procedure may take one or a maximum of two visits, lasting around one to two hours. Your dentist will be able to provide you with a more accurate estimate of the duration of the procedure based on your specific case.
