Endodontics

Endodontics is one of the most demanding specialties of dentistry. It deals with the treatment of complicated caries that have resulted in root canal infections. That is why the treatment of root canals requires a really experienced dentist. The main goal of endodontic treatment is to remove the infection from the root canal and restore normal tooth function.

A specialist in endodontic treatment is needed when it is necessary to prepare teeth for crowns, restore them with the use of indirect fillings, in case of periodontitis, pulpitis, or in case of complications after previous treatment.

Stages of root canal treatment:

  • Careful diagnostics performed with computed tomography in order to assess the degree of tissue damage, the size and specifics of the tooth root and the overall extent of the damage.
  • Extirpation of the dental pulp is a painful procedure, so it is necessary to use a suitable anaesthetic.
  • A rubber dam is used in this treatment to protect the mucosa from antiseptics as well as to prevent gum damage by dental instruments.
  • Tooth preparation and creation of access to the root canal.
  • Removal of inflamed dental pulp, ridding the adjacent tissues of infection.
  • Root canal irrigation with special solutions that ensure maximum tooth sterility before the actual filling.
  • Canal filling and insertion of the appropriate filling.
  • Restoration of the crown part of the tooth.

Toothache after root canal cleaning.

Toothache is a common consequence of endodontic treatment. The discomfort should subside within two to three days.

If, on the other hand, the pain escalates or does not subside after three days, it is necessary to visit the dental clinic again.
