Initial Condition
The patient was referred to Dr Ridhwan Ahmed with pain associated with the upper left first molar (UL6).
Root canal treatment was recommended to treat the source of the symptoms and preserve the tooth.
What made this case different?
A key aim of modern root canal treatment is to preserve as much healthy tooth structure as possible. Rather than creating a large access opening, Dr Ridhwan was able to create a very small, carefully planned access into the tooth.
Treatment
Using an operating microscope and advanced endodontic technology, Dr Ridhwan was able to locate and treat the root canals through this minimal access. During treatment, an additional MB2 canal was identified and successfully treated.
The minimal access approach allowed the root canal system to be thoroughly cleaned while preserving more of the natural tooth, which can benefit the long-term strength and survival of the tooth. Treatment was completed in a single visit.
Minimal Access
A very small, carefully planned access preserved healthy tooth structure.
Operating Microscope
Magnification and advanced endodontic technology allowed the canals to be located and treated.
MB2 Canal Identified
An additional MB2 canal was found and successfully treated.
A remarkable transformation achieved with precision and personalized care.
Symptoms Resolved, Tooth Preserved
The patient reported complete resolution of their symptoms following treatment.
The minimal access approach allowed more of the natural tooth structure to be preserved while still allowing the root canal system to be thoroughly cleaned and treated.
Symptoms resolved
Complete resolution reported
Minimal access
More natural tooth preserved
Single visit
Treatment completed in one appointment
This case demonstrates how advanced techniques and magnification can allow complex root canal treatment to be performed while taking a minimally invasive approach and preserving as much natural tooth structure as possible.
