What to expect from root treatment?

During root canal treatment, we use high-tech equipment and perform the procedure under a microscope.

The first step in root canal treatment is an accurate diagnosis. A root canal is needed when the pulp (the inner soft tissue of the tooth) is inflamed or infected. Often, the tooth will hurt when pressed or be highly sensitive to temperature changes. Swelling around the tooth indicates the presence of bacteria.

During treatment, the doctor creates an opening in the crown of the tooth and prepares it until the soft pulp tissue is exposed. Then, a rubber dam (cofferdam) is placed. It acts as a safety net for small instruments, provides a clear working area for the doctor, and ensures that saliva does not contaminate the root canal system.

The root canal is then carefully cleaned and shaped to the required size. Using a microscope allows for precise identification of the tooth’s microstructures, removal of foreign objects, and airtight sealing of the root canal. Root treatment Sviatoshino

Treatment under Microscope

Dental microscopes are the gold standard for root canal treatment and an essential tool in modern dentistry. Our clinic is equipped with a high-precision dental microscope, which aids in root canal procedures and other treatments that require high magnification and accuracy. Using a microscope is crucial because tooth canals often have more than one central canal and do not always follow a straight path. To thoroughly clean these canals, high magnification is required. Older root canal treatment methods relied on the naked eye or surgical loupes, which meant that bacteria could go undetected, leading to inflammation and reinfection. A modern dental microscope enhances the visibility of even the finest root canal structures, ensuring the best possible treatment outcome. The use of high magnification and resolution guarantees the highest standard of root canal care for our patients.

Stages of Endodontic Treatment

The first step in root canal treatment is an accurate diagnosis. A root canal is necessary when the pulp tissue (the inner soft tissue of the tooth) becomes inflamed or infected. The tooth may be painful when tapped or highly sensitive to cold air. A bubble or swelling around the tooth may indicate the presence of bacteria. A dark X-ray image at the tip of the root (periapical radiolucency) or an X-ray showing deep decay often suggests the need for root canal treatment.

During the procedure, the dentist creates a small opening in the upper part of the tooth and drills until the soft pulp tissue is exposed. Then, a rubber dam (cofferdam) is applied. It acts as a safety net for small instruments, ensures a clean working area for the dentist, and prevents saliva from contaminating the root canal system.

Advanced Technology in Root Canal Treatment

Under the microscope, the dentist carefully removes the soft pulp tissue. With advanced tools used at Be Smile, the cleaning process is incredibly precise. A pulp locator helps determine how deep the instrument should go, ensuring precise cleaning up to the root tip. Additionally, Coltene Hi-Flex files allow for efficient and thorough shaping of the root canal system.

After cleaning, the root canal space is sterilized with sodium hypochlorite and, in some cases, chlorhexidine. The canals are then sealed with liquid gutta-percha and root canal cement. X-rays are taken during treatment to ensure that the canal is completely sealed and airtight. Some teeth may require a post to support the restoration. A dental crown is placed to strengthen the tooth and protect it from fractures. .

If a root canal is not performed, the alternative is tooth extraction. After extraction, a dental bridge or implant may be placed. The doctor will thoroughly explain all possible options so you can make a decision.
