Endodontics
The diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of illnesses and injuries affecting the dental pulp and adjacent tissues are the main goals of the specialist field of endodontics. The dental pulp, which is housed in the root canal of the tooth, is an essential component that is made up of connective tissue, blood vessels, and nerves. Procedures like root canal therapy, which tries to remove diseased or damaged tissue, clean the root canal system, and seal it to prevent further infection, are frequently used in endodontic treatment. In the end, this expertise contributes to general dental health and well-being by helping to preserve natural teeth and relieve discomfort.
What is the process of a root canal treatment?
The purpose of a root canal treatment is to remove inflammatory or infected pulp from inside teeth. The tooth is then meticulously cleaned, disinfected, filled, and sealed. The goals of root canal therapy are to save the normal tooth, stop the infection from spreading, and eradicate bacteria from the diseased root canal.
When is root canal treatment necessary?
Root canal treatment is mostly needed for untreated deep caries. It is also necessary in case of damage to the dental nerve because of trauma or in the presence of advanced gum disease.
Is root canal treatment a painful procedure?
Root canal treatment is a treatment performed with local anesthesia. Therefore, it is not a painful procedure.
Is there pain after treatment?
In the first few weeks after the treatment, there may be a slight pain and sensitivity in the tooth, especially during chewing.
How long does root canal treatment last?
Root canal treatment can be performed in one or several sessions depending on the condition of the tooth. Uncomplicated treatments can be completed in one session.
How can the tooth be restored after root canal treatment?
For the restoration of root canal treated teeth, composite filling, ceramic filling, or ceramic crown options are available.
