Endodontic Treatment

Endodontic treatment, also known as root canal treatment, is a procedure designed to remove infection from inside the tooth and preserve the natural tooth.

What is endodontic treatment?

Endodontic treatment, also known as root canal treatment, is a procedure designed to remove infection from inside the tooth and preserve the natural tooth. This treatment is necessary when the pulp (the soft tissue in the center of the tooth) becomes inflamed or infected due to various reasons, such as untreated tooth decay or tooth trauma.

How is endodontic treatment performed?

Endodontic treatment is usually performed in one or more visits, depending on the condition of the tooth. The procedure involves the following steps:

1. Diagnosis and planning

An X-ray is taken to assess the extent of the infection and the structure of the canals.

2. Anesthesia

Local anesthesia is used to ensure patient comfort.

3. Access to the pulp

An opening is created through the crown of the tooth, allowing access to the pulp.

4. Removal of damaged tissue

Infected pulp is removed using special instruments.

5. Canal cleaning and shaping

The canals are cleaned and shaped to get them ready for filling.

6. Root Canal Filling

The canals are hermetically filled with a special material to prevent recurrence of infection.

7. Tooth restoration

After treatment, the tooth is restored with a filling or prosthesis, depending on the extent of the damage.

What technologies are used?

For endodontic treatment we use these modern technologies:
  • Dental microscope: Allows the dentist to see a magnified image, ensuring accurate cleaning and filling of the canals.
  • Machine instruments: Help clean canals more efficiently and quickly, reducing the duration of the procedure.
  • 3D canal filling devices: Ensure hermetic filling of canals, including lateral branches, which reduces the risk of infection recurrence.

Frequently asked questions about endodontic treatment

Most patients say that endodontic treatment is less painful than expected. Local anesthesia is used during the procedure, so pain is minimal. After treatment, you may experience slight discomfort or sensitivity, which usually goes away within a few days. If the pain persists or worsens, it is recommended that you contact your doctor.

Endodontic treatment may be necessary in the following cases:

  • Severe toothache, especially when reacting to temperature changes.
  • Discoloration of the tooth.
  • Swelling or abscess around the tooth.
  • Trauma or fracture of the tooth.
  • Untreated caries that has reached the pulp.

After endodontic treatment, it is important to follow your dentist's instructions:

  • Avoid hard foods until the tooth is fully restored.
  • Maintain good oral hygiene.
  • Visit your dentist regularly for check-ups.

Proper care helps prevent complications and ensures long-term treatment success.
