Canal treatment

A common cause of unbearable toothache is inflammation of the nerve of the tooth (pulp), which is located inside the root canals. This occurs mainly due to infection. If tooth decay cannot be cured on time, it gradually spreads into the depths of the tooth, and ultimately leads to infection, inflammation and death of the pulp. A sick tooth reacts to irritants, for example, to cold and hot drinks and dishes, with long-term pain. There are times when an infection goes unnoticed until it is detected on an x-ray.

Our Center for Practical Dentistry, whose hospitals are located in Mizhhirya and Ivano-Frankivsk, provides professional and painless root canal treatment using an dental microscope. With its help, the dentist better controls all stages of his work. This reduces the likelihood of complications and relapses of the disease, and increases the effectiveness of treatment.

Why is there a need to treat root canals?

If you do not diagnose the condition of the teeth and do not treat caries in a timely manner, troubles and complications arise in the form of pulpitis. This disease is an inflammatory process of the neurovascular bundle that occurs inside the root of the tooth. If the ignition is not eliminated at the pulpitis stage, the infection spreads beyond the tooth into the tissue around it. An undesirable process of destruction will begin and periodontitis will occur.

With prolonged inflammation, resorption of the bone around the root can occur. These inflammatory processes are a chronic infectious focus that will constantly saturate the human body with harmful bacteria. As a result, various diseases can occur, for example, sinusitis, OCD, digestive disorders and others. In order not to provoke complex consequences and diseases, it is necessary to conduct timely diagnosis and treatment of root canals. It should be understood that it will not be effective without restoration of the upper part (crown) of the tooth.

Benefits of Microscope Canal Treatment

At our Center for Practical Dentistry in Ivano-Frankivsk and the Intermountain of root canal treatment, specialists conduct using a modern endodontic microscope, which provides the following advantages:

• Increasing the scope performance up to 30 times and its good lighting improves the accuracy of the procedure;
• Ensuring full quality visual control over the affected area;
• Help in unlocking poor passage and complex anatomical channels;
• Assistance in the determination of hidden carious lesions and surfaces contacting them;
• The ability to identify and close perforations (artificial holes) in the root canals of teeth;
• Qualitative diagnosis of the presence of cracks and fractures of dental roots;
• Help in removing a broken endodontic instrument from the canals.

Often, during treatment it is difficult to find all the entrances to the root canals. It is the microscope that will help to identify them with high accuracy, especially with the non-standard shape of the tooth cavity. Such treatment reduces the likelihood of making mistakes. As a result, it does not allow the development of a pathological process.

Using a stereoscope, the doctor carefully and qualitatively examines the root canals, evaluates the cleanliness of their walls and patency, checks for residues of temporary filling materials, and removes them if necessary. An equally important stage of endodontic treatment is the expansion and formation of the canal. Without using a microscope it is simply impossible to perform. After filling the canal, the doctor will examine to ensure the tooth is filled properly.

The professionalism of the doctors of our dental center and the treatment methods they use help save even damaged or badly infected teeth. This will help prevent complications that lead to tooth loss and serious illness.
