Endodontics
Endodontics is the specialty that deals with the treatment of diseases of the dental pulp. The dental pulp is located inside the root canal and consists of nerves, blood vessels and connective tissue. It can be affected by the evolution of dental caries, pathological abrasions, fractures or periodontal diseases.
Endodontic treatment

In these situations, root canal (endodontic) treatment becomes necessary, otherwise the dental pulp disease will extend into the periodontal space and the adjacent jaw bone, producing complications at this level, which are much more difficult and expensive to treat.
Failure to carry out the correct and complete treatment results in the destruction of the hard and supporting tissues and the loss of the tooth.
The importance of endodontic treatment

Root canal treatment can save a tooth, extending its life in the arch by several years.
Depending on the degree of coronal destruction, endodontically treated molars and premolars are recommended to be covered with dental crowns, to prevent further fractures.
Carrying out endodontic treatment
Endodontics
For a correct endodontic treatment, x-rays are necessary at the beginning, during and at the end of the treatment, which you can perform right in our clinic. The magnifiers and the endodontic microscope fully equipped with the Canon camera allow the doctor and the patient a direct visual control of the performed maneuvers, in safe and comfortable conditions. These operations are:
- cleaning of organic debris from the root canals along their entire length, under dam isolation;
- mechanical preparation and conformation of the canals, including by activating the sodium hypochlorite and chlorhexidine solutions with ultrasound and sterilizing the canals with the Biolase laser;
- sterilization and obturation with definitive sealing material and calibrated gutta-percha cones.
- control radiography performed immediately postoperatively at the clinic to ensure a successful treatment.
The modern VDW RECIPROC GOLD systems used in our clinic ensure a correct and efficient treatment of the root canal, resulting in a precise and complete root obturation regardless of the anatomical particularities of the root canals.
The experience and skill of the endodontic specialist ensure maximum chances of success of root canal treatments. The final obturation stage will complete a successful treatment and you will be able to say quietly that it was worth the effort.
In our dental clinic, through well-conducted root canal treatments, teeth considered irretrievable at first glance have been successfully saved.
