What is endodontics?
Endodontics is the treatment of a tooth’s root canals, which allows the tooth to be preserved if its pulp is inflamed or infected. During treatment, the canals are thoroughly cleaned, disinfected, and hermetically sealed.Especially pain at night, when biting, or when touching the tooth.
Strong or prolonged sensitivity to hot or cold temperatures.
Swelling, tenderness, or inflammation of the gum around a specific tooth.
Dental trauma can damage the pulp even if the tooth appears healthy from the outside.
If pain or inflammation develops after previous root canal treatment, retreatment may be necessary.
Sometimes inflammation causes no severe pain and is only discovered during diagnostic examination.
Root canals are very narrow and can have a complex anatomy. The magnification and illumination provided by a microscope allow the dentist to see the treatment area more clearly and perform root canal treatment with greater precision.
A microscope allows the dentist to see very fine structures within the tooth and root canals and perform treatment more accurately.
Magnification helps identify narrow, additional or anatomically complex canals that may be much more difficult to detect without a microscope.
A microscope is especially useful when a tooth has already been treated. It can help remove old filling material, locate untreated canals and clean them again with greater precision.
Improved visibility helps the dentist work more precisely and preserve as much healthy tooth structure as possible.
