ENDODONTIC CONSENT AND INFORMATION
This is my consent to the endodontic procedures indicated and any other procedures deemed necessary or advisable to the planned endodontic therapy performed by Dr. Michanowicz and any assistants required. I agree to the use of local anesthesia depending on the judgment of the endodontist. I understand the endodontist will consult with me prior to the administration of any sedation. Complications of root canal therapy and anesthesia may include swelling, pain, trismus (restricted jaw opening), exacerbation of temporomandibular joint disorders, infection, sinus involvement, and numbness or tingling of the lip, gum or tongue, which rarely is protracted and even more rarely permanent. I understand that it is my responsibility to report any symptoms to the endodontist immediately. RISKS MORE SPECIFIC TO ENDODONTIC THERAPY: The risks include the possibility of instruments broken within the root canals; perforations (extra openings) of the crown or root of the tooth; damage to bridges, existing fillings, crowns or porcelain veneers, loss of tooth structure in gaining access to canals, and fractured teeth. During treatment complications may be discovered which make treatment impossible, or which may require dental surgery. These complications may include the following: blocked canals due to fillings or prior treatment, natural calcifications, broken instruments, curved roots, periodontal disease (gum disease), splits or fracture of teeth, and perforation of the pulp chamber and root canal system. I UNDERSTAND THAT I AM LEAVING THIS OFFICE WITH A TEMPORARY FILLING, AND THE PERMANENT RESTORATION (FILLING, POST & CORE, CROWN, ONLAY ETC.) WILL BE COMPLETED BY MY GENREAL DENTIST. THE RESTORATION IS NECESSARY FOR THE SUCCESS OF THE ROOT CANAL TREATMENT.
I, the undersigned, certify that the information on both pages are correct and accurate. I understand that root canal therapy is a procedure to attempt to save a tooth which may otherwise require extraction. Root canal therapy has a very high degree of clinical success, results cannot be guaranteed and healing is influenced by many factors. On rare occasions, a tooth which has root canal treatment may require retreatment, surgical correction, or even extraction.
