Root canal treatment

Pulpitis and periodontitis are diseases that need root canal treatment. They occur as the result of complicated caries, periodontal diseases or traumatic injuries.

Root canal treatment is a dental procedure, which relates to the endodontic section. This procedure is complicated because the treatment is carried out almost blind to the touch. Intuitively, the doctor makes clear, elegant and adjusted micromotions with his hands, gently using the finest tools for canal treatment.

How the root canal treatment is performed

• It starts with diagnosis. It helps to determine the tooth condition and the stage of disease.
• Endodontist determines the type of image that is necessary (CT or dental) in each case in order to determine the number of canals and the state of bone tissue and periodontal gap.
• Root canal treatment is performed under anesthesia. After the anesthesia takes effect, follows the disclosure of the tooth cavity and the pulp-chamber cavity in which the neurovascular bundle is located.
• At the next stage entries into the root canals are visually determined, their length is measured using a special electronic device – apex locator. In some cases at this stage it is necessary to take X-ray picture.
• After that, instrumental and medical treatment is provided. Instrumental treatment is provided with a special set of tools having a high degree of flexibility and sharpness. These instruments bear the main mission to create a special cone shape of the canal and its cleaning. The cone shape of the canal is a fundamental condition for the subsequent qualitative antiseptic treatment and the most hermetic obturation (filling) of the root canal. Antiseptic preparation is carried out with the preparations, which purify bacteria the most, not allowing them to adapt to the drug. Sonication tools are used to enhance the antibacterial action.
• If necessary, temporary filling of canals is applied with special preparations that enhance anti-inflammatory effect.
• At the final stage of canals treatment, it is required to restore the tooth appearance.  The method is selected depending on the destruction degree.

Root canal treatment with microscope

endodontic treatment at all stages. This reduces the likelihood of complications, eliminates the subsequent emergence of disease recurrence and increases the percentage of successful treatment.

Thus, during determining the anatomical features of the tooth cavity often may be complex clinical situation associated with difficulty in defining root canals entries. Endodontic microscope, which combines the effect of enlargement and special lighting, makes possible identify them exactly.

Root canal treatment under the microscope reduces the likelihood of making a mistake due to determining the number of canals, especially when there is atypical structure of tooth cavity. As a consequence, the development or progression of pathological process can be prevented.

One of the most important stages of endodontic treatment is canal dissection. At this stage, in particular, is very important to use operating microscope. In as much as a physician is working with tools, he is unable observe the tool manipulation within the canal, so the microscope allows monitoring the implementation of this process and visually assess the result of work.

With the help of endodontic microscope can be examined the tooth cavity and root canals, estimated the purity of walls, and checked the presence of tissues residues of temporary filling materials. The degree of readiness of the tooth cavity to filling is determined when the root canal is filled.

Timely treatment and a good doctor is a recipe for success

Each patient has the following questions. How many procedures is need, what is the duration of the operation, what is the cost of the root canal treatment? The duration and cost of treatment depends on the clinical case, the number of channels, their curvature, and other anatomical features; and treatment success depends on how qualitative tooth canals are treated and dried and how tightly they are filled.

Properly saved and treated tooth can serve during the whole life. The main thing for you is to follow recommendations of your endodontist.
