Root canal treatment (endodontics) in our clinic Estedent
Irreversible pulp inflammation (pulpitis) we treat by thorough removal of infected tissues from the root canals and fill them to capacity with biologically safe material. This procedure is the endodontic treatment (root canal treatment).
Pulpitis in most cases is a result of lately detected carries or injury.
Root canal treatment in our clinic
In our dental office we use modern tools for diagnostic (CBCT, endometer) and microscope, to provide our patients with accurate and precise treatment.
Microscope allows us to look inside the root canal, check if there are any obstacles, additional canals and thoroughly fill the canal.
During the procedure, the endodontist removes infected tissues from the pulp chamber and canals in local anesthesia, rinse them with bactericidal solutions with the use of ultrasounds and fills canals with gutta-percha.
Why the endodontics is so important?
Neglecting tooth and leaving it untreated, allows bacteria to progress from root canals to the bone around teeth, destroys it and cause big pain. Destructed teeth, when the treatment is no longer possible, is extracted. Losing a tooth, causes other problems, tipping of teeth, extrusion, shifting, occlusal trauma or even temporomandibular disorders.
