When a patient experiences tooth decay, root canal treatment is necessary, which can be divided into manual dilation and mechanical dilation. Mechanical dilation involves the use of instruments to enlarge the dental canal system, facilitating more precise treatment. Many people often neglect oral hygiene, which can easily lead to tooth decay. Root canal treatment is required before any other procedures, as neglecting it may result in complete tooth loss or even loss of the tooth.

Differences between Mechanical Dilation Root Canal Treatment and Ordinary Root Canal Treatment with Manual Dilation

The difference between mechanical dilation root canal treatment and ordinary root canal treatment with manual dilation lies in the fact that the mechanical dilation machine can enlarge the canal system, allowing dentists to carefully observe the internal condition of the canal, precisely locate the surgical site, reduce uncertainty in treatment, and greatly improve the success rate of pulp disease and periapical disease treatment.

Advantages of Mechanical Dilation Root Canal Treatment

Mechanical dilation is more efficient and faster than manual dilation. Manual dilation is sufficient for ordinary teeth, but for teeth with canal blockages or calcification, manual dilation may not be effective, and mechanical dilation is required. Mechanical dilation root canal treatment makes it possible to successfully treat many difficult cases of pulp and canal diseases, such as the clearing of calcified canals, preparation and filling of variant canals, and other previously unsolvable cases.

Precautions after Mechanical Dilation Root Canal Treatment

During root canal treatment, anesthetics may be used, so patients will not feel pain. However, after the anesthetic effect wears off, there may be some pain and discomfort. Oral antibiotics can be taken to alleviate the discomfort, and patients should avoid consuming stimulating foods.
