Intense tooth pain, prolonged sensitivity, or inflammation can be signs of a deep infection inside the tooth. In such cases, endodontic treatment, also known as a „root canal treatment,” is the life-saving solution to preserve the natural tooth and eliminate discomfort.

What is endodontics?

Endodontics is the branch of dentistry that deals with the diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the dental pulp and periapical tissues. The term comes from the Greek "endo" (inside) and "odont" (tooth), indicating treatments performed inside the tooth. 

Endodontic treatment involves removing inflamed or infected pulp, cleaning and disinfecting the root canals, followed by filling and sealing them to prevent reinfection.

When is a root canal treatment necessary?

Endodontic treatment is recommended in the following situations:
•Severe tooth pain: Persistent or increased pain when chewing may indicate a dental pulp infection.
•Prolonged sensitivity: Sensitivity to extreme temperatures (hot or cold) that persists after the stimulus is removed may be a sign of damage to the dental nerve.
•Tooth discoloration: A tooth that becomes darker in color may signal the death of the dental pulp.
•Inflammation or abscess: Swelling or the presence of an abscess in the gum area indicates an infection that requires endodontic treatment.
Stages of endodontic treatment
Root canal treatment is performed using modern technology and state-of-the-art equipment, ensuring a precise and comfortable process:
1.Accurate diagnosis: Clinical and radiological evaluation to determine the condition of the dental pulp and surrounding tissues.
2.Local anesthesia: To ensure patient comfort during the procedure.
3.Tooth isolation: Using a dental dam to maintain a sterile field and prevent contamination.
4.Access to the pulp chamber: Making an opening in the crown of the tooth to access the infected pulp.
5.Pulp removal: Cleaning the root canals of infected tissue.
6.Canal shaping and disinfection: Using rotary instruments and antiseptic solutions to clean and shape the canals.
7.Obturation of canals: Filling the canals with biocompatible materials to prevent reinfection.
8.Tooth restoration: Application of a filling or crown to restore the functionality and aesthetics of the tooth.
