Complete chemo-mechanical preparation of additional canalsis necessary to address multi-rooted teeth with complex anatomy. This procedure is particularly useful for patients with teeth that have multiple canals requiring thorough cleaning and shaping. For example, a patient with a molar may require preparation of additional canals to ensure complete treatment.
The primary benefit of preparing additional canals is its ability to ensure all canals are cleaned and prepared, reducing the risk of residual infection and improving outcomes. By addressing all canals, clinicians can achieve comprehensive treatment, improving the patient’s long-term oral health. This level of intervention improves the likelihood of successful outcomes, particularly in cases of complex anatomy. Additionally, thorough preparation reduces the risk of complications such as abscess formation.
For oral and maxillofacial surgeons, preparing additional canals requires using advanced imaging techniques to identify and treat all canals, particularly in complex cases. Surgeons should ensure that all canals are thoroughly cleaned and shaped to prevent residual infection. By incorporating this procedure into the treatment plan, surgeons can ensure better outcomes for the patient.
