Hey everyone, how are you all doing? My

0:01

name is Rodrigo, and I'm here today to

0:03

do a video lesson about root

0:05

canal treatment. I will cover all the steps of

0:07

a root canal treatment in a very

0:09

clear and straightforward way. So let's go, shall we

0:11

? Root canal treatment. I put this

0:14

image here, look, it's pretty cool, isn't it? It was there

0:15

on Canvas. So, let's go. Here's my

0:17

Instagram, follow me there! What are

0:20

we going to study in this class? We're

0:22

going to look at the clinical examination part, what

0:24

we need to do before

0:25

diagnosing a root canal, and the

0:28

anesthesia part. which is the common part and involves the

0:31

anesthetic that we normally use.

0:34

We're going to talk about surgical

0:36

access, absolute isolation, which is the

0:38

basics, and the number of staples. And

0:40

a tip here: when we're

0:42

locating the canals, how are we

0:44

going to find these canals and what is the best way to

0:46

outline them, the

0:48

odontometry, which many people have

0:50

doubts about, how to explore the

0:53

canals, for example, which file

0:55

we start with, how to raise

0:57

or lower the files, the instrumentation of the

1:00

middle thirds, cervical and apical, the

1:03

obturation and a temporary restoration.

1:05

Basically, that's what we're going to cover

1:06

in this lesson, everything about the channel in a

1:08

very straightforward way. So let's go

1:10

. The clinical examination, what is the

1:13

clinical examination? It is the anamnesis and the

1:16

intraoral and extraoral clinical examination that we will

1:17

perform on the patient in order to make

1:20

a diagnosis. With the clinical examination alone,

1:22

we can already tell if a

1:24

tooth has needed a root canal or not, but we

1:25

have complementary exams that we

1:27

can do, such as the

1:29

periapical radiograph, which is the most important.

1:31

When we're going to perform a root

1:32

canal treatment, we can't do

1:34

it using a panoramic X-ray. Therefore, only the

1:37

periapical radiograph will

1:39

help us make a diagnosis and be able to

1:42

carry out this treatment. And we have to

1:44

take this X-ray using the

1:46

positioner, and with it we'll be

1:48

able to analyze the number of

1:49

canals and the curvature of that canal so

1:52

we can start this treatment already

1:54

knowing everything we can

1:57

expect. Anesthesia. The

2:00

anesthetic techniques used are those that

2:02

will anesthetize the pulp, but we

2:05

also need to perform

2:06

infiltrative anesthesia in the gum,

2:08

because it will receive a clamp there and

2:10

that clamp ends up causing injury. So,

2:12

in addition to anesthetizing the pulp,

2:14

we can perform an infiltration there

2:15

to be able to place the clamp. We

2:17

typically use lidocaine with a

2:19

vase or artecaine with a vase. An adult

2:23

typically uses around two to three

2:24

tubes. If it's a child, we

2:27

need to do the calculation. If

2:28

you don't know, I can record a

2:29

video lesson explaining how to

2:31

calculate the anesthetic dosage. And after

2:33

we administer the anesthesia,

2:35

we need to wait 5 minutes

2:37

for it to really take

2:38

effect. Otherwise, if we start

2:40

working on the tooth, the patient will complain

2:41

of pain, but that's because

2:43

we didn't wait. And for the

2:46

upper arch, we'll wait 5 minutes

2:48

for the upper arch and 15 for the

2:51

lower arch, because in the

2:52

lower arch, the maxillary bone, the mandibular bone

2:55

, is denser, so

2:57

the anesthesia doesn't penetrate as

3:01

easily. The access surgery, I'll

3:03

explain, is done according to the teeth:

3:06

the incisors, canines, and premolars,

3:08

lower premolars (he'll

3:09

change a little something), upper molars, and

3:12

lower molars. The incisor teeth

3:14

form a triangular shape; I'm drawing it

3:17

here on the screen. With the base facing the

3:20

entrance exam above the symbol. We'll

3:23

start with the pen at a

3:25

45º angle. After you come down here, okay? The active tip

3:28

of the pen, after going down more or less, look,

3:31

two active tips, we tilt it and it

3:34

comes up vertically, almost vertically.

3:37

The drill bits we typically use are

3:40

10 12 or 10 111 for accessing the area

3:42

. It fell into a void, we use these

3:44

here to let them do a refined job,

3:47

give the contour there, which is the 3081 and 3082

3:50

with an inactive tip or the endoscope. An endoscope

3:54

is a drill with a very sharp

3:56

cutting edge, so if you're going to do your

3:58

first root canal treatment in

3:59

college, then it's a drill that requires

4:01

a little more

4:03

care. I'll explain and

4:05

draw as I go. I uploaded an image

4:07

I found on Canvas; I couldn't find

4:08

a complete image of both arches,

4:11

but that's basically it. Here's the

4:13

symbol. We're going to make a triangle

4:15

with the base here, facing the

4:17

incision. That's pretty much it,

4:21

okay? This applies

4:23

to both upper and

4:24

lower incisors. Here's an inferior one, but it

4:26

works for both sides. In canines and

4:29

preolaries, it is an oval-shaped contour

4:32

in the center of the occlusal surface. And we follow the

4:34

same parameters as here, the same drills,

4:37

the same things. The format is changing, or will change

4:39

. So it's canines and

4:41

premolars. I'm going to grab a tooth here that

4:42

's good for drawing, look. This one's

4:44

cool. So it's going to be more or less like this in the

4:48

pit. What will change? Why did

4:51

I place canines and premolars and

4:54

separate the lower premolars?

4:57

We're going to make a 45º angle and

5:00

then we'll go vertical, because

5:02

the inferior preolae, normally

5:05

this cusp here, the

5:07

lingual cusp, is a little bigger than the

5:10

vestibular cusp or usually the same

5:12

size. So we have to make

5:13

this incline so we can get

5:15

in. It's a little different from the

5:19

upper premolars. And here we're going to use the

5:21

same drill bits, and then we're going to use the

5:24

truncated cone bits to create the

5:26

outline shape. The upper molars are

5:29

triangular in shape with the base facing

5:32

buccally, slightly pulled towards the medial side.

5:35

So it's going to be something like this, see?

5:37

Pull the base of the triangle slightly towards the mesial side

5:40

. So it's more or less like this

5:45

, more geared towards the mesa which has

5:48

this slight incline. And the

5:51

lower molars are basically the same

5:53

shape. The drill bit here is what will

5:56

differentiate it, folks, because here I put

5:58

10 11 10 12 and here it's usually 10 12 and

6:02

10 14. Remember? They all have to have the

6:05

long shaft, which is HL, so we

6:07

can make the access fall into the void.

6:10

Of the lower molars, it is a

6:12

triangular or trapezoidal shape with the base

6:15

also facing mesially. The only

6:17

difference is that it's not as large as the

6:20

top part. So here, look, it's going to be

6:22

more or less, giving an example here,

6:23

as if it were the top part, it

6:25

would be more or less like this

6:28

, not quite like the top part.

6:32

The bottom one would look something like this

6:35

. And here would be the

6:39

channels. Oh, and normally we

6:41

'll do it the same way. This one

6:43

we can come in either completely

6:44

vertical, it depends a lot on the anatomy of the

6:46

tooth, the patient's opening, we

6:48

come in with the spherical bur and then

6:50

we use the tapered cone bur to give it this

6:52

shape. Let's go. Isolation is

6:55

mandatory for root

6:56

canal treatment. There's no way to do root

6:58

canal treatment without isolating the affected area. And we don't

7:01

need to be completely bound by the

7:03

rules of restorative dentistry, to follow them to the letter.

7:05

Well, like these teeth here, some

7:07

teeth have broken crowns, they

7:08

can have different anatomy and

7:10

characteristics. So, if

7:12

we can find a clamp that's

7:13

firm, that

7:14

really manages to hold the

7:17

sheet in place, even if it's not the clamp

7:19

used for that tooth, we can

7:20

use it, there's no problem at all. We ca

7:21

n't pay too much attention to

7:24

that. The clasps, right? 210, tooth 211

7:27

are for anterior teeth, 206 and 209

7:31

for molars, 200 to 205 for molars.

7:35

I believe you all have little

7:36

doubt here. And then there's the W8A, which is a molar

7:39

with little retention for us to

7:43

isolate. The location of the canals.

7:46

To locate the canals, we're going to

7:47

use an exploratory probe.

7:49

The front teeth typically

7:51

have one to two canals, the premolars have

7:54

one to three, and the molars have

7:57

three to four canals. This was a

8:00

brief explanation, but we'll be

8:02

able to see all of this when

8:03

we do the X-ray, step by step,

8:05

as we already discussed at the beginning of the

8:07

video lesson. Now comes the most

8:09

important part, which is odontometry and

8:11

canal instrumentation.

8:14

To determine the

8:16

tooth length, we'll take an

8:18

initial radiograph using a positioning device to

8:20

avoid distortion. And we're going to

8:24

measure the apparent length of the tooth,

8:27

which is the CAD. So, we took the

8:29

x-ray there, and this is the tooth.

8:31

We're going to measure it and subtract 3 mm

8:35

to get the provisional working length

8:38

, which we'll use

8:40

to start exploring the

8:41

canal. So, we measured here, got x, then it

8:45

would be x - 3 mm for us to be able to

8:49

arrive at the provisional working length

8:51

. So let's begin

8:53

exploring the canals. We're going to use the

8:56

provisional working length that

8:57

I just told you about. First, we

8:59

irrigate. This

9:01

irrigation must be done very

9:02

carefully. Go slowly, put a

9:04

little bit on, take it off, put it back on, use the suction device

9:08

so we can remove it gradually, because if

9:10

hypochlorite gets on clothes, in your mouth,

9:12

anywhere, hypochlorite is not good,

9:14

not even on your hands. So, be very

9:17

careful about that. We're going to

9:19

irrigate with hypochlorite, as I've already

9:21

told you. Well, add the

9:24

hypochlorite slowly and suck it up so it doesn't

9:27

overflow. Let's go. Okay, so we can

9:30

start exploring this

9:31

channel, we're going to begin with file 10

9:35

and go into the channels and explore.

9:37

So, we do

9:38

exploratory movements to really get to know

9:40

the canals, and we

9:42

irrigate them regularly to

9:44

kill these bacteria and

9:46

clean them one third at a time

9:48

. We did it with file #10, we're going to

9:51

switch and do it with file #15,

9:53

exploring further. We're not going to go all the way down at

9:55

once; we'll proceed

9:57

carefully, entering and irrigating, doing it

9:59

third by third, so we can

10:00

remove these bacteria and prevent them from reaching the

10:03

apex. Okay, we did the

10:06

initial exploration, we used files

10:09

10 and 15. We did the initial exploration and

10:13

we did the irrigation. Now we're going to

10:15

prepare the mid-cervical region

10:17

. We're going to widen the

10:19

cervical third to the point of reducing the

10:22

bacterial load, and you'll be able to reduce the

10:24

strain on the file we'll be

10:26

using. Because, you agree with me, if

10:28

the canal is very tight, when

10:30

we use a file,

10:32

if it needs to

10:33

bend a little bit when it goes down there, it might

10:34

break in that area. So

10:36

here, we're going to widen the

10:38

cervical third to the point where we can reduce the

10:40

bacterial load and also reduce the

10:43

strain on the file.

10:45

The name of the technique is the crowdol technique

10:47

that we're using. We

10:49

don't necessarily start with the #80 file, which is

10:51

a very large file, but we can

10:53

start with a smaller one. So what are

10:54

we supposed to do? We'll keep lowering

10:56

the 80-grit file until it goes in; there

10:58

's no need to force it. Oh, it was

11:01

just a little bit there. Okay, clean and rigate.

11:03

Let's go, 70. Wherever she goes, she cleans and

11:07

rips 60. Same thing. It continues until the

11:10

file that reaches the CTP (Central Processing Point) is found, which will be

11:14

considered the initial file when

11:16

instrumenting another third. So we

11:18

went on, look, 60, 50, 40, 30. Ah, so-and-so

11:21

managed to get down all the way

11:23

down there, there's the provisional working length

11:25

. So we're going to go

11:26

there and take an

11:28

X-ray of this file so we can analyze it. Either

11:31

we take an X-ray, or we can

11:33

use an

11:35

apex locator. And we're going to take this

11:37

x-ray with the file inside the tooth,

11:39

inside the CTP. What are we going to do? We're

11:42

going to measure the length. So let's go

11:44

. Let's draw it here. This here

11:46

is a tooth,

11:49

look. We're going to measure it. The lime went down.

11:51

Let me draw the little picture. Imagine

11:53

the lime has rolled down this far

11:55

. Beauty? Here's the lime entrance.

11:57

So we're going to measure the length from the

11:59

tip of the file to the root apex.

12:02

So, from here to here, vertex, let's

12:07

assume the result is 4. Okay? So, what are

12:10

we going to do? Subtract 1 mm.

12:13

So, 4 -

12:15

1 = 3. After that, we saw that

12:18

we have to go up 3 mm. So, what do

12:22

we do with this? We

12:23

'll add it up. The file was lowered to this point, which

12:26

was our provisional working length

12:28

. So it will be the

12:30

provisional working lengths plus

12:33

three more, which gives us that

12:34

safety margin. So here we begin to

12:36

have the actual

12:38

working length, which is the length at which

12:39

we will perform the instrumentation. How are

12:43

we going to perform this

12:44

instrumentation of the apical and middle thirds?

12:47

It depends. Dente

12:50

tabilente necro a gente vai subir quatro

12:53

limas. So, we're going to take that

12:55

memory file we made up here

12:57

, the first one that went all the way

12:59

down, for example, which was number

13:01

50.

13:03

So, let me see if I've included any

13:05

examples here. No, I didn't put it there. So,

13:08

let's say it was file 25. Then it was file

13:12

20. Yeah, let's say we stopped

13:13

with file 20. So, here, we're

13:15

going to come here with

13:17

file 25 and we're going to make that

13:20

movement, like a quarter turn. I remove debris,

13:23

scrape the walls, and irrigate. I turn it a quarter

13:26

turn, clean it, remove it, irrigate it,

13:30

and continue filing the walls.

13:32

So, we're going to start raising the files from

13:33

now on, see? We're going to do it

13:35

with a #25 file, okay? It ended? Lima

13:39

30, great, is it over? We're going to use the #

13:42

15 file to recap, so we can

13:44

kind of do a cleanup with the same

13:46

measurement. So, using file 30, we did

13:48

this recapitulation, then we did it with file

13:51

35, we're going to do the irrigation,

13:53

we can use this file for

13:54

recapitulation, to do this cleaning that

13:55

I'm talking about. And then the

13:57

number

13:58

40 file, and we use number 15. Great, we've finished

14:02

the instrumentation, everything's

14:04

perfect. So, what are we going to

14:05

do now? The filling. Root

14:08

canal filling. What are we going to do?

14:09

We'll need to test the cone with the

14:12

final diameter. So, let's say

14:14

we stopped at size 40 with the file,

14:16

so for the cone, we're going to use cone

14:18

number

14:19

40. We

14:22

need to check if this cone actually went all the way down

14:24

to the apex and stopped. So,

14:26

we're going to take another x-ray to

14:27

see if our cone worked, if

14:29

everything is clean, and if it

14:31

actually reached the length we

14:33

need to perform this root

14:35

canal treatment. When it reached the actual

14:38

working length, it locked up. Beauty. Now

14:40

we're going to handle the cement. Before

14:42

that, we have to dry it. We

14:43

dry it with a paper cone, we manipulate the

14:45

cement. Positioned cone number 40,

14:47

waited for it to dry, then brought

14:49

the accessory cones, placed them, then brought

14:53

the

14:54

presser foot, and cut off the excess. Okay,

14:57

filling done. It's very straightforward. It's a

14:59

very quick, explanatory video lesson. Then we

15:01

'll do the restoration, right? We're going to

15:02

make a cotton ball or a

15:04

Teflon strip with a stump, and we're going to do this

15:08

restoration, which can be done

15:11

with composite resin, depending on whether

15:14

you want to wait

15:16

for another dentist to do a

15:19

restoration later. It all depends. We make the

15:22

occlusal adjustment and leave that

15:24

tooth without any contact. Yes, it just takes

15:27

some time, because otherwise the patient

15:28

may experience

15:30

postoperative pain. So that's it, folks, the

15:32

video lesson ends here. I hope

15:34

I was able to explain it to

15:35

you. It was more of a check-up related

15:38

to root canal treatment. I hope I was

15:40

able to help you. If you

15:42

enjoyed it, leave a like,

15:43

subscribe to the channel, and see you next time. Yeah.
