Endodontic Treatments

• 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

In the workplace we perform endodontic treatment under the control of binoculars and a device for 3D root canal filling. The 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 prospects of the tooth in the future. 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 part of the tooth - in most cases a crown is recommended. In case of slightly damaged teeth, a white composite filling follows after the root canal treatment.

At clinic Smile Centrum, endodontic treatment is performed using modern endodontic equipment. Treatment is always carried out under X-ray control. Thanks to modern equipment, quality tools and innovative materials, the clinic can handle even complex cases requiring endodontic treatment.
