My patient who needs a root canal treatment (RCT) on her upper left second molar is very allergic to latex. My nurses and I had nitrile gloves on attending to her and RCT was carried out under a non-latex dental dam.
It is a standard practice to use gutta-percha to fill canals but in this case, we use Resilon, a resin based material.
Treatment was carried out successfully and I'm glad that the patient didn't have an anaphylactic shock in reaction to the allergen.
