Endodontics
Root canal treatment is necessary when internal nerve and blood vessels were affected by caries, bacteria contamination or other trauma. In any of these situations the tooth will feel pain, so the nerve endings of the tooth must be removed from the canal.
The intervention is followed by root canal treatment that will be disinfected, cleaned and eventually filled with a special material.
Correctness of endodontic treatment depends on two factors: efficient cleaning of canal and its sealing on the entire length.
Therefore at Medicine & Smiles endodontic interventions are performed with dental microscope, very useful tool that offers us images for the best quality treatments.
Endodontic microscope helps with: identification of additional channels, locating and sealing root perforations, removal of broken needles, etc.
Canal treatment helps you attain a higher bite force and therefore a more efficient mastication. It gives a natural feel and offers protection to the other teeth.
It is false the idea that once the nerve has been removed, the tooth will “die” and eventually will be lost.
Endodontic intervention lets the tooth functional, which is supplied with blood by the tissues of surrounding teeth, which will help to maintain its position without allowing it to migrate to other areas.
