歯科ハミール's Root canal treatment Case

Treatment

We removed and cleaned out the old medication and bacteria from inside the root canal, then filled it with MTA cement, a newer dental cement valued for its strong antibacterial action and good sealing. At the 3-month follow-up, the area of inflammation at the root tip (seen as a dark shadow) had shrunk, and the bone around it had begun to regenerate and heal. *MTA cement has strong alkalinity and a powerful antibacterial action, which lowers the risk of recurrence.

Treatment time and number of visits

Approx. 1.5–2 months (about 4–5 visits). Follow-up: 3–6 months after treatment

Cost

¥29,700 (tax included) and up (breakdown: MTA cement ¥22,000 + root filling material ¥7,700). *A CT diagnostic fee (¥3,960) and the cost of a crown are charged separately.

Risks and side effects

Temporary pain or swelling can occur during treatment or right after it. If the shape of the root canal is complex, or the lesion is too large, surgical treatment may become necessary, and there is some risk that the tooth cannot be saved and has to be extracted.
