Root canal treatment
The clinic’s endodontists treat tooth canals using the most modern technologies and equipment, and a Zeiss microscope is used for treatment. Dental canals have a rather small diameter, so an accurate determination of their morphology, topography, and length is possible only with modern equipment.
Endodontists of the dental clinic “DD clinic” work very carefully and accurately, paying special attention to thorough cleaning and filling of the hard-to-reach lower third of the root canal.
The clinic’s specialists perform not only primary but also repeated root canal treatment. The latter takes more time than the primary one, since it is necessary to perform a complete cleaning of previously filled canals. In some cases, endodontists have to remove foreign bodies, such as instrument fragments, from the root canals of patients’ teeth. This procedure is performed using ultrasound, irrigation, and various combinations of dental instruments.
If the doctor has decided that endodontic treatment is necessary, the procedure will consist of the following stages:
- X-ray diagnostics: the presence of periapical inflammation is determined by the image. If the canals were previously filled, the quality of the filling and the presence of foreign objects in the root canal are examined. The working length of the canals is determined.
- Preparation of the carious cavity, opening of the tooth cavity.
- Pulp extraction – nerve extraction.
- Instrumental processing of root canals: DD clinic specialists use not only manual but also machine processing with the use of ultra-thin tools.
- Medication treatment.
- Root canal filling.
- Restoration of the anatomical shape of the tooth.
