Endodontic treatments, known under the term "nerve removal", consist of removing the affected pulp tissue of the tooth and filling the root canals with biocompatible material.
Endodontic treatment is used to preserve the affected tooth and reconstruct its natural appearance and restore masticatory functionality.
Causes of pulpal disease:
The main cause of a pulp injury is represented by untreated dental caries. However, there may be other pathologies:injuries break Other diseases related to the root and the bone surrounding the tooth
What are the symptoms of pulpal damage?
Pain that can be intermittent or constant and varying in intensitySensitivity to cold or heatEmbarrassment in masticationTooth color changeThe appearance of an abscess or a fistula
How is endodontic treatment performed?
In order to ensure a successful treatment, the endodontic specialists at the Family Dental Clinic use modern technology that consists in the use of a microscope for the three-dimensional obturation of the root canals, the use of a dam ensuring a much better prognosis and reducing intraoperative contamination with saliva, the use of apex locator, electronic instrument for measuring the length of the root canals, as well as the rotary needles used ensure efficient cleaning, complete canal obturation in a single session. By using these techniques, the success rate of endodontic treatment increases by over 90%.
The stages of treatment are:
Anesthesia and access to the pulp chamberExtraction of the affected tissue and irrigation of the canalsMechanical treatment of the canal to obtain the ideal shapeObturation of root canalsCoronal restoration of the tooth
Due to the fact that obturation is a much simpler treatment than an endodontic treatment, our recommendation is always to visit the dentist as soon as we start to notice signs of a condition, such as tooth sensitivity.
