Root canal treatment in Bila Tserkva
Root canals are thin cavities inside the tooth root that contain the neurovascular bundle (pulp).
Inadequate treatment of caries can eventually provoke the development of periodontitis and pulpitis, the most prominent manifestations of which are inflammation of the pulp and soft tissues around the tooth root. It should be understood that a separate section of dentistry, endodontics, is dedicated to this problem, which deals with root canal treatment. Further, the spread of infection into the canals can lead to a deterioration in the patient’s overall health. Therefore, it is important to seek professional help from experienced dentists at PerioDent on time.
Why do we treat under a microscope?
Optical magnification allows for a thorough inspection and diagnosis, detecting cracks and the smallest damage inside the tooth that are difficult to diagnose on X-rays, and providing predictable treatment by hermetically filling root canals.
How does root canal treatment under a microscope work at PerioDent?
- radiographic complex: based on computed tomography data, orthopantomogram and a series of targeted radiographs, the doctor determines a preliminary diagnosis;
- diagnostics under a microscope: the total number of tooth canals, their anatomy and affected areas are examined in detail;
- anaesthesia: for the patient’s comfort during treatment, we anaesthetise the tooth with the help of an application anaesthetic or regional anaesthesia;
- isolation of the working area: to prevent saliva and bacteria from entering the tooth, we isolate it with a cofferdam (a thin insulating scarf made of latex or nitrile);
- access to the canals: we remove old restorations and caries-affected tissues, and provide access to the root canals;
- mechanical and medical treatment of root canals;
- hermetic closure of the root canal lumen with gutta-percha and filling material;
- highly aesthetic tooth restoration: we restore the anatomical shape of the tooth using composite filling material.
Universal postoperative recommendations:
do not eat until the anesthetic has completely worn off, avoid cooling or sudden heating of the area around the tooth for the first 3 days, and take painkillers prescribed by our doctor if you experience a severe toothache.
P.S.: you will receive a full list of individual recommendations immediately after the procedure.
