Treatment of
root canals
Root canal treatment has one mission – saving teeth. The time when the only solution to pain was tooth extraction is long gone. And in its place has settled a discipline that achieves exceptionally high results in this mission. This discipline is endodontics, a section of dentistry that deals exclusively with root canals.
Specificity and treatment
What is it?
As the name suggests, in root canal treatment, the endodontist penetrates deep into the tooth to work on restoring its infected pulp.
This infection can have different causative agents. We list the most common of them:
- Complicated or improperly treated caries that has developed into pulpitis
- Inflammation of devitalized teeth
- Serious tooth injuries
- Previous improper root canal treatment requiring relief
- Bruxism (Nocturnal gnashing of teeth)
- Deep inflammation of the gums
Only an experienced endodontist can determine the need for root canal treatment, identify the causes and perform the correct procedures. They may take place over several visits. The time in between is necessary for the doctor to track the results.
Root canal treatment is often challenging because it is individualized for each patient depending on the severity of the inflammation. The type, shape and depth of root canals are also strictly individual.
But in general, root canal treatment proceeds in the following steps:
- The patient is given local anesthesia to make the procedure painless
- The tooth to be treated is isolated by a special latex cloth, which tightly surrounds it and prevents the penetration of bacteria during the manipulation.
- Root canal treatment begins. For this purpose, their depth is first measured with a special apparatus. An X-ray was also taken at the scene beforehand
- Under multiple magnification of a microscope, the endodontist removes the inflamed pulp and precisely cleans the canals of infected tissue. This is also done with high-tech equipment that eliminates the risk of errors compared to manual processing
- Disinfection with special bactericidal agents follows to eliminate the risk of re-infection
- The pulp chamber and grooves are filled and sealed with a special high-quality paste
- The tooth is restored with a filling or - if necessary - with a crown
It is important to know that endodontic treatment has no alternative. However, if the tooth is completely destroyed or its roots are damaged, for example as a result of trauma or an incorrectly made old filling, it is pointless.
Then the tooth needs extraction, but we are quick to reassure you. And in this case, there is a solution – Medical Dent Dental Clinic is an emblem of the highest pilotage both in saving teeth and in replacing the lost ones with dental implants, which represent an irreplaceable alternative to the real ones – both in functional and aesthetic terms.
