Clinical case: apical periodontitis of the tooth 3.6
Keywords: chronic apical periodontitis, endodontic treatment, computed tomography, dentistry
A detailed clinical case of treating a patient with chronic apical periodontitis of the tooth 3.6 is presented. The paper describes in detail modern diagnostic approaches, including a comprehensive clinical examination and computed tomography, which made it possible to accurately assess the condition of the periapical tissues and anatomical features of the root canal system. Special attention is paid to the step-by-step description of endodontic treatment using standard protocols for instrumental and medicinal root canal treatment, as well as the use of innovative filling materials for permanent obturation of the root canal system. The aim is to demonstrate the effectiveness of an integrated approach in the treatment of chronic apical periodontitis of multiroot teeth. Using the example of the clinical case, the importance of thorough diagnosis using modern imaging methods, strict adherence to endodontic treatment protocols, the use of modern materials and methods of interdisciplinary interaction of specialists is shown. The treatment results confirmed a high effectiveness of the approach used, which was verified by the data of control examinations and X-ray examination. The presented clinical case can serve as a practical guide for dental therapists in the treatment of complex cases of chronic apical periodontitis.
