Root canal treatment
To cure a tooth means to save a healthy organ. It has a complex structure and consists of a crown that rises above the gum and a root. The inside of the tooth has a pulp, which consists of blood vessels and nerves that fill the root canals. Often, deep decay provokes inflammation in the pulp, which can lead to tooth loss. It requires immediate dental intervention and root canal treatment. Innovative technologies in dentistry allow you to restore dental health by making the painful area painless. The task of dentists at our clinic Denta PRO in Dnepr is to save patients' teeth. Acute toothache indicates the progression of infection inside the organ, so the patient should immediately seek help from a dentist.
At Denta PRO we treat root canals with an endodontic technique. It is an effective technology that allows to relieve the patient from pain and inflammation inside the tooth. Our dentists treat canals using the endodontic technique for the following dental conditions:
- periodontal tissue lesions;
- cavities;
- pulpitis.
This inflammatory process is caused by Streptococcus mutans microorganisms. They have a detrimental effect on tooth enamel. Often the diseased tooth has to be treated because of mechanical damage or vascular disorders that can lead to atrophy, fibrosis, tissue necrosis, and other diseases.
How are root canals filled?
To treat inflammation and save the tooth, the dentists at our clinic use a root canal filling. It is performed according to the previously planned algorithm.
- Oral examination and diagnosis of the disease. The dentist analyzes the patient's medical history, examines the infected area by taking x-ray and determines the location of the infection.
- Anesthesia. Denta PRO uses both conventional and computer anesthesia. Anxious patients and children are recommended to have their teeth treated using sedation.
- Preparatory work for root canal treatment. This process consists in cleaning the root canals by using special instruments or endodontic handpiece. The dentist prepares the enamel layer, removes damaged tissue, and prepares the cavity for access to the pulp. If the infection of the nerve is insignificant, the root cavity is not cleaned. The dentist puts medication under the root of the tooth and places a temporary filling material. If the manipulation does not prove effective, the doctor cleans the root canals. 4.
- Endodontic treatment, which is characterized by removing the pulp, cleaning the dental canals, enlarging the cavity, and then rinsing, disinfecting and etching with acid.
- Placement of a temporary filling. Endodontic treatment is performed in two stages. This feature allows the treating doctor to make sure that the manipulation is done correctly. Treatment of the root canals is completed by placing a filling for a certain period of time.
- Filling of the root canal. At the second visit to the doctor, the patient's dental canals are sterilized and sealed.
- Artistic dental restoration. In the last phase, the shape of the restoration is restored, and its functionality is restored. The dentist selects the method of restoration and materials according to the individual characteristics of the patient.
What are the methods of root canal filling?
Developments in dentistry have led to the introduction of innovative methods in dental treatment that keep teeth healthy. Improved modern materials allow for effective fillings, crown restorations, and reliable and airtight sealing of root canals. Previously, cleaned passages were filled with a plastic agent that would become hard after some time. The old method was characterized by frequent complications, and the need to redo the work performed anew. In modern dentistry, the root canals are filled with a unique substance - gutta-percha. Dentists use several techniques of the technological process concerning the sealing of cavities in dental roots with this innovative material.
Root canals are filled with gutta-percha in many ways.
- Acceptance of a single pin. This method is performed by inserting a gutta-percha pin into the root canal filled with filling material. Specialists use it rarely because of possible complications.
- Cold method. Gutta-percha pins are placed in the root cavity in multiple quantities until the hollow space is completely sealed. This is a reliable and economical method.
- Condensation effect on the sealant substance. This technique may not completely fill the cavity and damage the root due to mechanical action. This method is not popular among professionals.
- Vertical sealing of gutta-percha. A warm sealant is placed in the hollow of the root, evenly distributed inside, by applying a pin. This method is characterized by complexity and labor intensity, but has the main advantage that all voids are carefully filled with the filling material.
- Injection technique. Gutta-percha paste is heated to 200° and injected into the root canals. The liquid substance penetrates into all the voids. The disadvantage of this process is that you can damage the walls of the root.
- The continuous wave method is characterized by little tissue damage. The dentist inserts the post into the empty root cavity with a heated instrument, and then additional gutta-percha elements are placed around the inserted material. Manipulation continues until all voids are filled.
- Thermoplastic Reception with Injection. Hot sealant is injected into the root canals with a syringe. This is a simple and convenient method. It is not always effective because of incomplete filling of the voids.
- "Thermophile. To make the sealant better penetrate into the hollow part of the root, the specialist introduces a sealer into the space, and after it - a hot post of polymer material with gutta-percha. The excess of the substance is cut off. The sealer has a positive effect on the sealant, with which all the root canals are filled.
- Apparatus reception of hot gutta-percha mass. The apparatus heats the sealant, so that its viscous consistency is preserved. The material, getting into the root canals, fills all the empty spaces. The effectiveness of this method will be appreciated by doctors and patients alike.

It is worth restoring a lost tooth as early as possible, because delaying such a process can lead to unpleasant health consequences and undesirable costs in the future.
Patients who seek help for tooth loss too late unwittingly start the process of destruction of other adjacent teeth, because the load during chewing is not evenly distributed.
Dental implantation is one of the most reliable and effective procedures that allows you to restore one or more teeth.
The method of dental implantation is now very popular, because it helps patients to restore lost teeth both in the upper and lower jaws without grinding pine teeth, which is always carried out during prosthetics (crowns).
With implantation, the number of lost teeth does not matter. Dental implantation is considered to be the only right way out of care for everyone, because the healing rate of implants today is over 99%!
