Informed Consent

I understand Root Canal Therapy is a procedure to retain a tooth which may otherwise require extraction. Although Root Canal Therapy has a very high degree of clinical success, it is still a biological procedure so it cannot be guaranteed. Occasionally a tooth which has had Root Canal Therapy may require Retreatment, Surgery, or even extraction.

Only the Root Canal will be performed in this office. I am to return to my general dentist within 2 to 4 weeks after the Root Canal Treatment has been performed for a permanent restoration (filling/crown). Dr. Ogden will only be placing a temporary restoration in the tooth at the end of the procedure.

I also understand that if I have a ceramic and/or porcelain restoration (crown) it can fracture during treatment. I am aware that I am responsible for the repair or replacement that may be required once completed.
