RCT : Right time for capping? Way to do?

hi yes we do recall a patient after 2-3 days for tooth preparation after the root canal is done and it depends upon patient to patient sometimes we even do it on the same day if things are favourable . RCT's are done under local anesthesia ....usually u wont feel any pain during the procedure,but in few badly infection cases (abscess)there might be little pain where u will be required a extra dose of anesthesia. 3-4 x-rays are enough for a procedure.......sometimes the taken x-rays may not record properly,sometimes over obturated .....your dentist may prefer 1 or more additional x-rays. if xrays handled properly ...there wont be any ulcerations and injury of tongue. topical anesthesia is sprayed so that the tissue absorbs the spray and reduces pain at the site of injection.....not neccessarily it should be cleared. yes, few complain of cough and throat inflamation . extreme pain after 4 days....on to it capping was done ....rather would have waited for few more days ......related pain while taking x-rays find a new DENTIST for yourself......keep smiling ...tc

Hi,there can be pain in the root canal treated tooth for few days,generally the dentist shall wait for that time till the pain subsides,do warm salt rinses several times daily.Many X-rays are required during the process,you can request your dentist to be more careful during taking the X-rays .
