What Is Endodontics?
Endodontics is a branch of dentistry focused on treating the inside of the tooth, particularly the dental pulp. This specialty aims to protect and preserve teeth through various medical procedures that prevent tooth loss.
The dental pulp is a soft tissue located inside the tooth, containing arteries, veins, nerves, and connective tissue. While the pulp plays an important role in nourishing the tooth, it is not essential for long-term health or function. Even after nerve removal, the tooth can remain functional within the dental arch through proper treatments like fillings or prosthetic work.
How Does Root Canal Treatment Work?
The goal of root canal therapy is to eliminate infections inside the tooth and prevent their spread to other areas of the mouth. During the procedure, the dental pulp is removed from the root canals, which are then filled with special materials that seal the canal and prevent reinfection.
Modern instruments are used to precisely widen the canal, ensure superior cleaning, and achieve perfect sealing. The root canal length is measured electronically for exact and safe filling, reducing the risk of complications.
When Is Root Canal Treatment Necessary?
Root canal treatment may be required in several situations:
- Pulp infection caused by deep cavities that reach the pulp chamber, leading to inflammation and intense pain.
- Dental trauma, such as fractures or injuries from accidents, can damage the pulp and necessitate endodontic therapy.
- Therapeutic complications, such as tooth migration or improper prosthetic work, which expose the pulp due to excessive tooth grinding.
Benefits of Endodontic Treatment
Endodontic treatment is essential for maintaining oral health and preventing tooth loss due to internal infections. By removing infections and sealing the canal properly, the tooth can be preserved in the arch, providing a durable and functional solution.
With the help of modern technologies used in top dental clinics, treatments are now more precise, faster, and more comfortable for patients.
