Endodontics

Endodontic treatment consists of removing infected tooth tissue, cleaning the canal, disinfecting it and filling it tightly. 

Endodontics - what is it?

When, through the presence of a deep cavity, the pulp becomes inflamed, the tooth then needs root canal treatment. Endodontic treatment consists of removing infected tooth tissue, cleaning the canal, disinfecting it and filling it tightly. In our clinic, we use a most modern OPMI pico ZEISS treatment microscope for endodontic treatment, as well as a highly accurate endometer that allows electronic measurement of the canal length. For root canal treatment, we use first-class endodontic micromotors with a rotary tool system and ultrasonic instruments.

Indications

  • pulpitis
  • pulp necrosis
  • under-filled root canals (so-called root canal re-treatment or reendo)
  • periapical lesions

Pain related

• The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia and is completely painless.
• We individually select the method of anaesthesia application and the type of anaesthetic for each tooth.
• After treatment, there may be a slight, temporary pain in the surrounding tissues and temporary tenderness of the treated tooth to biting.

Duration

• Root canal treatment usually lasts between 1 and 2 hours.
• It can usually be completed in one visit.
• The dental procedure may become longer if the patient has a larger number of root canals to fill, in which case several visits are needed to carry out the full treatment.

Repeatability

A properly treated tooth does not require endodontic re-treatment

Recovery

• No need for convalescence.
• Refrain from eating hard foods until the crown of the tooth is fully restored.

Results

  • Beautiful and healthy smile
  • Preservation of balance in the mouth
  • Maintaining balance in the oral cavity
  • Healing of inflammation
  • Pain relief

Methods

  • The Awodent clinic uses a high-tech OPMI pico ZEISS treatment microscope, which enables the canal treatment process to be carried out very precisely.
  • We electronically measure the length of the canal and the distance from the root apex using highly accurate endometers.
  • We use endodontic micromotors with a rotary instrument system and ultrasound instruments to prepare the canal.
  • In difficult cases, we use the computer tomograph available at the Awodent Clinic, which allows radiological control of the entire course of root canal treatment.
