Canal sealing during and after a root canal.

Hello everyone! I'm Dr. Fanny Yacaman, and in today's episode, we will dive deep into one of the most important steps to ensure the success of your dental treatment: canal sealing during and after a root canal. Using an anatomical model, I will show you how we use bioceramic cement to seal the space between the gutta-percha and the tooth's root, a vital process to prevent any bacteria from entering and re-contaminating the canal. I'll explain why it is absolutely essential for the canal to be completely dry, free of infection, bleeding, or pain before we proceed to seal it. We will also analyze real clinical cases where a root canal failed due to a poorly sealed crown or severe damage caused by unprotected teeth grinding (bruxism). It is fundamental to understand that success doesn't just depend on the root canal itself, but also on the build-up and a perfectly fitted crown. Don't be afraid to demand that everything is perfect so your smile lasts a lifetime! If you have any questions, leave them in the comments or contact me on my social media. See you in the next video!
