Japanese Dentists Get Poor Remuneration at an Endodontic Treatment

Last time, I wrote about root canal irrigation and its importance. After that, I wanted to write something else about root canal irrigation in Japan.

I think, it seems that the step of root canal cleaning is not considered too important among Japanese dentists.

It seems that a combination of it and sodium hypochlorite solution is still being used in Japan. The number of doctors who use EDTA as irrigants for root canal cleaning may still be in the minority. It just is said that we are still behind the global standard of endodontics.

However, I feel that few doctors are interested in root canal treatment. I think one of the main reasons is the low remuneration for root canal treatment.

For example, the above image is my clinical case of root canal obturation at #42 and then I got about 40$ a remuneration. I always wonder if the remuneration for root canal treatment is a little low. In Japan, we have national health insurance, which means that patients pay much less at the counter.

Dear foreign dentists, how much do your remuneration for root canal treatment?

Are Kurds Refugees?

The Japanese mass media has not reported on this at all, but Japanese people who lived in Kawaguchi City have reported the situation vividly on Twitter. There is a growing sense of anxiety among the residents. These Kurds have applied for refugee status in Japan, claiming that they are Turks, but they are persecuted in Turkey, so they have come to Japan as refugees and are asking for help.

By the way, about 600$ per month is provided from taxpayers' money as protection money. Generally, Japanese people do not discriminate against foreigners, but we do not like criminals who disrupt social security. The Japanese are equally averse to criminals, whether they are fellow countrymen or foreigners. I wo...

The Sealer-Puff After the Root Canal Obturation, the Relationship Between Root Canal Irrigation

The sealer-puff is a characteristic appearance of sealer overflow outside the apical foramen on the confirmatory dental photograph after root canal filling. This is caused by a small amount of sealer overflowing outside the apical foramen when the dentists pressurize the area around the apical constriction to achieve a tight root canal filling. It is also caused by sealer penetrating the lateral branches of the apical-delta due to pressure at the apex. The sealer puff is, after all, an overflow of foreign material into the periapical tissue of the root apex. Of course, dentists must always try to prevent foreign material to overflow from the root apex into the apical periapical tissue. However, if we take into account the cause of sealer puffs, we can evaluate them from a different perspective. Sealer puffs are... The area around the root apex is properly cleaned and free of debris, ensuring the patency of the root canal. And Be caused by the application of a good flow of s...
