Endodontic Treatment

What is and How is it Done?

Endodontic treatment, also known as root canal therapy, is a dental procedure aimed at saving and restoring a tooth affected by infection or inflammation inside it. This treatment is necessary when the tooth pulp, which contains nerves and blood vessels, is damaged due to decay, trauma, or other factors.

What is Tooth Pulp?

The pulp is the inner, soft part of the tooth that contains nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissue. It is located in the center of the tooth and extends down through the roots. The pulp is vital for the tooth’s development and health, but when it becomes infected or inflamed, it can cause severe pain and lead to tooth loss if not treated.

How is Endodontic Treatment Done

Diagnosis and Treatment Planning

Initially, our endodontist evaluates the tooth’s condition through clinical examination and imaging methods, such as X-rays.

Removal of Infected Pulp

Using a specialized dental microscope, the infected or dead pulp is removed from the root canals. The microscope ensures precise removal of all infected parts, ensuring maximum treatment effectiveness.

Filling and Sealing

After cleaning, the root canals are filled with a special material to prevent re-infection and sealed.

Tooth Restoration

Finally, our endodontist and a restoration specialist will decide on the appropriate restoration solution, either a filling or a crown, to achieve the best functional and aesthetic result.

State-of-the-Art Technology in Our Clinic

At our clinic, we use the state-of-the-art Zeiss dental microscope to ensure the best possible treatment for our patients. This microscope provides a comprehensive view of the tooth’s root canals, allowing our endodontist to identify complex root canal anatomies, cracks, and other details that are not visible to the naked eye.

The magnification provided by the Zeiss microscope helps achieve exceptionally high success rates in the endodontic treatments we perform. This ensures that our patients receive precise and effective care for their teeth.
