Endodontics / Endodontics: root canal treatment
Our root canal therapy saves and preserves your diseased teeth
When does a root canal treatment become inevitable?
The inside of each healthy tooth is filled with dental pulp. Whenever deep caries is prevalent, or when larger chunks of teeth break away, bacteria wants to intrude into the dental pulp. In rare cases, the dental pulp is infected via deep gum pockets. This causes painful infections which lead to irreversible destruction of the tissue. The further progress of the germs and the decomposition of dental pulp products (so-called toxins, which resembles cadaveric poison) provoke an immune response around the root tips. Search a tooth root infection does not always exist. Like an interference field, the infection can disturb the balance of the meridian system and trigger symptoms in other parts of the body (for example, chronic infections). At any time, which often manifests itself in biting pains or even in suppurative abscesses.
How can we help you?
The only way to preserve the diseased tooth for a long time is through root canal therapy, which is also called "endodontic treatment".
A root cause of infection in the bone or at the root tips will be outlast or even grow around the root apex.
The healing of your teeth is our target
According to the current level of knowledge, to incomplete treatment as a compromise solution would be pointless as it would result in a deterioration of the dental healing prognosis for the affected tooth. Instead, it is the highest degree of bacteria sterilization in the root canal system.
These measures, which are carried out according to the latest medical standards, can include:
- Creating sterile spaces protected by a dental dam
- Utilization of sterile rotating disposable canal treatment instruments with a highly flexible nickel-titanium alloy and a computer-controlled multiphase motor whose torque is measured 300 times per second to optimally adapt to the requirements.
- Ultrasound activated cleaning of the root canals including lateral canals
- Application of complementary disinfecting mouth rinse solutions to dissolve and wash organic res >
How long does the treatment take?
The modern treatment method is far more convenient and carried out more carefully than ever. Still, a root canal treatment might require several one-hour sessions.
What are the chances for success?
Given all operable measures are applied, there is a good chance to heal and preserve the diseased tooth for a long period of time and to keep it free of infections.
Still, symptoms are not always clearly visible, e.g. in S-shaped or ramified root canals or in other places where mechanical applications are impossible. Although such cases are (fortunately) very rare, we believe that you should know .
What are the alternatives?
Or by an implant (artificial dental root) with a crown on top.
Are root-treated teeth dead?
Yes and no. As far as the sensation of heat and cold is concerned, the answer is "yes". The tactile sensation, on the other hand, wants to be preserved.
What comes after the root treatment (endodontics)?
Root-treated teeth, already weakened by the root treatment, might brittle. In addition, they tend to turn gray. Therefore, such teeth should be sealed by crowns or partial crowns in order to protect them from breaking apart, and to prevent new bacterial infections.
Please keep in mind that .
. an optimally root-treated tooth can, if sealed with ceramic, remains fully functional for a lifetime without turning into a disturbing factor. In all probability, any further surgical treatment (e.g., a root apex resection) will be redundant.
Our dentists use high-powered magnifying glasses with LED light and if needed an operation microscope.
