Endodontics
Explained

Millions of teeth are saved annually thanks to the professional doctors who perform an endodontic treatment, being a procedure that does not cause pain, but on the contrary, helps to combat it.

Inside the tooth, under the layer of enamel and dentin, there is a soft tissue called the pulp, which contains blood vessels and nerves and helps the development of the root.

Thus, in the case of adults, a tooth can be perfectly healthy, even without the pulp, since the tooth is nourished by the surrounding tissues, but when they become infected, patients face pain and discomfort.

Crown Medical Center was founded in the first place to create absolutely beautiful smiles.

What are the advantages of endodontic treatments?

As a rule, the endodontic treatment is carried out in two sessions and has the role of saving a tooth, a fact that brings many other advantages, including efficient mastication, correct bite, a natural and pleasant appearance, but the teeth are also very well protected.

How to save a tooth?

This treatment is carried out inside a tooth and is necessary when the pulp is inflamed or infected, which can have different causes, from caries, to repeated dental procedures on the respective tooth, crowns that have not been adapted properly, blows or accidents.

In addition, the tooth can suffer from the inside, even without giving visible signs on the outside, and if measures are not taken, patients will face pain and eventually an abscess will develop.

Therefore, the procedure involves the removal of the affected pulp, so that the canals are then carefully cleaned and disinfected and then sealed with a special material, similar to rubber, called gutta-percha. Only after this endodontic treatment is performed, the doctors can continue the restoration of the tooth, by resorting to classic fillings or crowns, so that in the end, the tooth regains its initial functions.

No further worries

In other words, such a treatment followed in our clinic helps any patient to enjoy a natural, healthy smile and allows them to enjoy the small pleasures of life, such as eating different foods, without discomfort. In addition, if it is performed properly, the treatment can be effective even for a lifetime.

Technology is constantly evolving in the field of dentistry, so that it plays an important role in the efficiency of treatments. Today, even very damaged teeth can be saved, and through the microscope, the treatments are carried out well, no matter how complicated they are.

Patients of our clinic are subjected to a comfortable experience, regardless of the treatment performed when a microscope is used. Even if the channels have an unusual shape or they have foreign bodies, there are solutions.

When is an endodontic treatment necessary?

This type of intervention is used when the dental pulp becomes inflamed or infected. These situations occur most of the time due to caries that have reached high proportions and were not treated in time, but also when the dentist did not perform other interventions properly, such as fillings. If the diseases that appear are not treated in time, then the pulp will die and attract numerous microbes that gradually migrate, the final destination being the bone that is destroyed step by step.

What is an endodontic treatment:

This type of treatment aims to remove, clean and disinfect the pulp chamber and root canals when infections occur, in other words, the affected dental pulp is removed. After performing all these steps, there will be a free space that must be covered so that microbes do not advance towards this area. Therefore, it will be necessary to block or seal the canals with the help of a special material that does not cause adverse effects, being well assimilated by the body.

If the infection did not have time to migrate to the apex, the condition encountered is called pulpitis and it is necessary for the doctor to clean the canals and seal them properly to prevent complications.

Otherwise, there is a possibility that the pulp will deteriorate and complications will occur, which will also be remedied through endodontic treatment. If the infection affects the apex, then cysts will also develop at the end of the root. Cysts are removed by means of a technique called apical resection, resorting to this type of treatment only when there is no longer any way to complete an endodontic treatment.

Why is endodontic treatment necessary?

There are several situations that lead to diseases of the dental pulp, but the most common are caries of high proportions that were not treated in time, improper treatment or fractures committed for various reasons. In these cases, the pulp can become inflamed and turn into pulpitis, becoming much more sensitive, especially during the consumption of hot or cold food and drinks. Unfortunately, pulpitis worsens without the patient having any symptoms. A second situation leads to the death of the pulp, during which the tooth no longer has that sensitivity, but the place will be infected by bacteria.

If no treatment has been carried out up to this point, the inflammation and microbes will spread towards the tip of the root, affecting the tissues in this area, after which an abscess may appear. The disadvantage is that the tooth becomes much more sensitive and several stages are needed to treat all the conditions. A tooth that has not been restored can fracture at any time, which is why after an endodontic treatment has been performed, the next step is the fabrication of a dental crown.
