Root canal treatment (endodontics) involves removing dead or inflamed tooth pulp and tightly filling the root canal system with dental material.
Root canal treatment is used when the pulp of the tooth (commonly referred to as the nerve) is infected and it is inflamed. Not treating the pulp of the tooth can lead to serious complications, eg. abscess.
Do not hesitate to visit the dentist if the tooth:
- changes color to a darker, other than healthy teeth,
- is sensitive to biting, temperature changes, touch,
- it is cracked or broken,
- a bubble appears on the gum near the tooth, from which oil seeps.
Thanks to the use of modern tools and methods, root canal treatment gives us the opportunity to save a tooth. Remember that a tooth extraction is an irreversible decision, causing in the future the need to supplement the toothlessness.
Why do patients trust us?
Anesthesia
In order for the Patient to feel comfortable during the procedure, we use an individually selected method of anesthesia, including inhalation sedation (so-called laughing gas). Therefore there is no reason to fear pain or unnecessary stress. During canal treatment, we also rinse the canals which improves the effectiveness of treatment.
Tools
We use modern canal tools to guarantee 100% treatment effectiveness. The microscopes used in our treatments are world-class optics that allow us to work enlarged to “look” into 4mm diameter ducts! Advanced endodontics also include endometers and radiovisiography as well as precise channel filling techniques.
Microscopes
We work with 20-times magnification during root canal treatment! In our offices we use precise observation with the help of modern dental microscopes, thanks to which the accuracy and the effectiveness of treatment are significantly increased. The microscope enables the treatment of difficult cases where the only solution so far has been to remove the tooth.
Stages of root canal treatment
- removing infected pulp from the tooth chamber and root canals,
- measuring the length of the canals, widening them using machine and manual tools, and rinsing with antiseptic preparations,
- closing root canals with liquid gutta-percha and verifying the correctness of the canal filling with an X-ray image,
- closing of the tooth chamber and rebuilding of the tooth crown with a composite or inlay/onlay or prosthetics [all-ceramic crown].
What do we do?
remove broken and left tools in the canal
find all, atypically located channels
precise cleaning and filling of curved channels
treatment of very narrow or calcified channels
re-root canal treatment, i.e. removing the old fill from the canals
removal of old, metal inserts, cements and prosthetic screws
treatment through crowns and bridges without removing or destroying it
cleaning and filling canals for prosthetics, eg. porcelain crown
Our experts in endodontics
Dr Piotr Majewski
