Three-canal teeth are most commonly molars (large back teeth), located in the chewing zone and subjected to high pressure during daily use. Their treatment is more complex due to the anatomical structure and the need to thoroughly clean and seal all root canals.
Treatment process for a three-canal tooth:
- Opening the tooth and cleaning infected tissue from each canal.
- Widening the canals to allow for proper disinfection.
- Irrigating the canals with antiseptic solutions.
- Filling each canal with a specialized sealing material.
- Restoring the tooth with a durable filling or crown.
Why is it important not to delay treatment?
Molars play a crucial role in chewing. If the infection is not eliminated in time, it can lead to an abscess, spread of inflammation to the bone, and even tooth loss.
Although treating a three-canal tooth is more complex, with proper care and quality restoration, the tooth can remain functional for life.
What to know after root canal treatment:
- Mild sensitivity in the first few days is a normal healing reaction.
- Avoid chewing hard foods or applying strong pressure to the treated tooth.
- Complete the restoration with a filling or crown to prevent breakage.
- Routine dental check-ups help ensure the long-term success of the treatment.
