Banqueamiento dental teeth Root Canal Therapy
Some years ago I managed this tooth and now I have a dark color.
By an accident I was hit in the upper front teeth and after a while one of them was dark
My son, the dentist did a root canal and the tooth now has a different color.
These comments by luck, you do not hear it very often, but they can happen. In the case of dental trauma without proper monitoring and treatment, the tooth in most cases this will change color.
The dental procedures that involve removing the pulp organ “Nerve” is often the case that eventually change color.
The cause of this phenomenon is due to: For the specified root canal or the tooth trumatismo, there is internal bleeding inside the tooth pigmentation and after a while the tooth is dark, because the blood hemoglobin is oxidized from a normal color to gray or dark brown. Usually this process is asymptomatic patient is not perceived “pain”
The treatment involves placing a whitening toothpaste in the affected tooth and let it act for a period of 48 hours. In the second session desobtura the tooth and if necessary re-use the same process.
This is repeated up to three times, if not the desired color is achieved by the tooth will receive a veneer or crown, to change its color.
In case the non-vital bleaching procedure is successful in the second session, the tooth should be sealed permanently with a luminoactivado material.
