​

Endodontics is an important branch of dentistry and in our clinic we pay particular attention to this sector.

Endodontics is a part of dentistry that finds solutions for the treatment of dental thin tissue and deals with root canal therapies.

The pulp that is in the canal of the tooth is treated, while the canal is at the base of each tooth. The dental pulp is an intertwining of nerve fibers whose task is to respond to cold and hot stimuli. Due to the penetration of the dental caries into the tooth structure, the infection of the dental pulp with the bacteria that causes the caries occurs. After a while the pain becomes stronger.
 

Endodontic treatment

Endodontic surgery consists of  remove the pulp of the tooth  And  replace it with a permanent filling. In this way the tooth will be recovered, even if it will lose its sensitivity to heat or cold since the pulp is the part dedicated to this and, by removing it, it is  tooth sensitivity also removed. It can also be performed without anesthesia, but this also depends on the patient and on the stage of the tooth to be treated.

Endodontic surgery takes little time, especially thanks to the use of modern equipment.

Endodontic treatment must be: accurate and precise and performed with adequate and modern devices.

• The  rotating nickel-titanium instruments  have made an essential contribution to the development of modern endodontics, and guarantee:  thorough endodontic cleaning,  excellent root canal preparation,  minimal invasiveness  And  maximum efficiency.

• The use of the  laser in endodontics allows an antibacterial action  very effective, as it multiplies the disinfectant action of sodium hypochlorite.

How does an endodontic treatment take place

• First of all, local anesthesia is administered to prevent the patient from experiencing pain.

• Provisional reconstruction of the dental crown is carried out to completely eliminate the caries.

• The operating field is isolated with a sheet of rubber latex held taut by a bow and held in place by a hook positioned around the tooth to be treated.

• The pulp chamber opens.

• The length of each canal is measured by means of an x-ray and an "electronic apex locator".

• The root canal pulp contaminated by bacteria and infected substances is removed and at the same time walls are formed for obturation.

• It is washed with sodium hypochlorite, a very effective disinfectant.

• It is the turn of root canal filling with the help of heat, with moldable materials associated with root canal cement.

• The dental crown is reconstructed.

• The treatment ends with a last radiographic check.
