Endodontic treatment consists of mechanical treatment, irrigation and subsequent filling of root canal system
One of the reason of toothache is inflamation of dental pulp tissue (pulpitis) or its complication – periodontitis- when inflammatory process spreads to the tissues surrounding tooth. It may occur in the case of untreated tooth caries, aggressive tooth preparation for crown, trauma etc.
In our dental clinic we always start with thorough examination. Starting with intraoral X-ray which helps us to find out causal tooth, anatomy of its roots, number of root canals.
It is essential for us that you do not feel any pain, that is way the next step is application of local anesthesia, our doctors perform it completely painlessly. After that the tooth is isolated with rubberdam to protect surrounding tissues and keep working area dry. Mechanical treatment of root canals is then performed with optical magnification – microscope or binocular loupes and using endodontic motor of the last generation Reciproc Gold (Germany). This computer assisted device has built-in apexlocator which measures working length of root canal during treatment. This makes treatment more precise, reduces duration of procedure and dentist always knows what part of the root canal is working in.
After thorough rinsing root canal system is then filled. In our clinic we use device for 3-D obturation with warm guttapercha.
