Endodontic treatment in dentistry is a complex treatment of the dental root canal system. A need for this kind of treatment arises when some caries complications (pulpitis, periodontitis) develop, as well as in case of dental injuries, preparation for prosthetics, and after previous unsuccessful endodontic treatment.
A purpose of the practical endodontic is to prevent and eliminate already existing inflammatory foci in the periodontitis tissues which is one of the most common causes of tooth loss.
A key of successful endodontic treatment is careful processing, disinfection and hermetic filling of the root canal together with proper restoration of the tooth crown. Following of the necessary requirements in all stages of the endodontic treatment ensures its high quality and complete dental rehabilitation.
The infected content is removed from the root canal, and necessary shape is created for the canal. Disinfection of the root canals is done using effective antiseptic preparations. This ensures rinsing out the pollution from the hardly-reachable parts of the canal and improves the conditions for further filling.
Filling of the root canal is the final stage of the endodontic treatment. Nowadays, there are many and different filling methods and techniques using gutta-percha filling in the form of pin or on carriers. It allows performing three-dimensional channel filling and preventing re-infection.
Endodontically-treated teeth need to be controlled by X-ray after 6-12 months.
