Endodontic Treatments

In other words, it’s root canals treatment. Endodontic treatment is a kind of treatment of inflammation of a tooth pulp and its complications. This inflammation is caused by micro-organisms, most often originating from neglected, unrecognized or poorly treated tooth decays, which spread to the depths of the tooth. The second and most frequent cause is secondary complications from improper treatment of root canals (broken instrument), under large filling, an old crown or after some injuries.

It is possible to treat a tooth when the infection has penetrated deep into the tissues, the pulp, and the root canals. In such cases the tooth is treated with this method. The main advantage of the endodontic method is the ability to save the tooth and prolong its life for more than 10 years.

Endodontic treatment - indications and contraindications

Periodontitis of any kind is an inflammation of the tissues surrounding the root of the tooth, resulting in a pocket filled with pus near the root.
The characteristic symptom of this disease is a sharp pain in the tooth. The causes of periodontitis can be infectious, traumatic, medical, or allergic.
Acute pulpitis is a disease characterized by inflammation of the pulp of the tooth (most often of an infectious nature due to the penetration of bacteria through the carious process), which is commonly referred to as the nerve. Initially, the patient may experience unpleasant pain, which becomes acute. There may be a darkening of the enamel of the affected tooth, swelling of the surrounding tissues and a slight bleeding from the tooth.
Chronic pulpitis is a chronic inflammation of the tooth pulp. This pathology is characterized by recurrent episodes of toothache in response to mechanical or thermal effects.

Endodontic treatment also has contraindications: vertical root fracture, periodontal lesions, inability to treat root canals, inability to restore the tooth

What does endodontic treatment include?

In the workplace we provide endodontic treatment under the control of binoculars, a special dental endomicroscope, using an apexlocator, endomotor, nickel-titanium instruments and devices for 3D root canal filtration. Treatment consists of removing the tooth pulp, measuring the length of each canal, disinfecting and sealing the root canal system. The more accurately the root canals are filled (the result of the work is checked radiologically), the better the future prospects of the tooth. A sign of ineffective treatment is the prolonged presence of an inflammatory focus around the root of the tooth in the bone, which negatively affects the body and can cause pain and swelling at any time.

Our goal is to prevent the formation of these complications. This is how you can save a tooth doomed to extraction. There is no guarantee that all root canals will be found, cleaned, enlarged, disinfected and filled, that obstructions in the canal, such as a broken instrument or perforated root, can be removed. A tooth treated in this way can serve the patient painlessly for many years with proper oral hygiene. Much also depends on the subsequent quality restoration of the crown portion of the tooth - in most cases a crown or half-crown is recommended. In the case of slightly damaged teeth, a white composite filling follows the treatment of the root canals.
