Surgical Root Canal Therapy in a Dog – MTA Placement

MTA Placement -
The approach in this case was to access the apex surgically, then amputate the apical 5 mm of the root. Necrotic pulp was present adjacent to the cement corresponding to the lucency in the fill. A granuloma was present in the periapical bone and was removed. A round bur was used to remove cement to allow for MTA placement.

Aluminum Oxide Burs

Dr. Beckman,
Thank you for the link to the newsletter. I have a question after coming back from the institute and trying to get some new equipment. When using Arkansas White Stone burs is there a preferred size? I found 3 FG sizes and a couple are RA and I’m not sure what the RA is. We would probably be using them primarily to smooth a fractured tooth if it is a closed fracture etc.
I appreciate your time.

Hi Jennifer,
Glad to hear from you. We use the bullet flame for that application, but all personal preferrence. Below is a link to Dr. Wiggs book on Google books about burs for an idea on shapes. How did you like the NAVC Institite?
Anyone else care to add anything?
