In this episode of Before & Beyond, Dr Ho Ying Yao delves into the critical role X-rays play in root canal treatments. Imagine a clogged pipe at home— this is akin to an infected root canal within a tooth. Just as you wouldn't replace a whole pipe for a blockage, we aim to preserve the tooth by cleaning the root canal. X-rays are essential for understanding the tooth's internal structure, revealing the number and shape of root canals. Sometimes, a tooth may have multiple canals or diverging paths, which can be tricky to detect with standard 2D X-rays. In such cases, a 3D X-ray, or CBCT, provides a clearer view, ensuring thorough cleaning and disinfection. Ultimately, X-rays guides in delivering the best possible treatment for our patients, making the process more predictable and effective. Join Dr Ho Ying Yao as he explores how these imaging techniques enhance dental care.Cracked Tooth Symptoms? Dentist Explains Toothaches | BEFORE & BEYOND EP45
