Root canal treatment is a rescue procedure applied in cases where the nerve and vessel package (pulp) located at the center of the tooth becomes infected or loses its vitality. Within Eskişehir Dentsilya, it is conducted with scientific methodologies to keep the natural structure of the tooth in the mouth and to protect the surrounding tissues.
Thanks to modern endodontic devices and digital measurement systems, the success of the procedure is maximized. Cleaning the damaged tissues inside the tooth ensures the relief of chronic pain and prevents serious inflammations that could spread to the jawbone. This intervention is the most critical barrier preventing tooth loss.
How is Root Canal Treatment Performed?
The procedure begins with complete numbing of the relevant area of the tooth with local anesthesia. Special access paths are opened to reach the infected tissues inside the tooth, and the pulp chamber is cleaned. The canals are widened in accordance with the anatomical structure using state-of-the-art rotary instrument systems.
The cleaned canals are washed with special disinfectant solutions to clear them of microorganisms. To ensure structural integrity, the canals are filled in a leak-proof manner with biocompatible filling materials. In the final stage, the upper part of the tooth is completed with restorations suitable for functional and aesthetic expectations.
In Which Cases is Root Canal Treatment Required?
Cavities that deepen to a level where the tooth cannot repair itself are the most common cause of root canal treatment. When bacteria reach the core of the tooth, severe pain and sensitivity occur. Additionally, cracks occurring in the tooth enamel or hard impacts pave the way for damage to the nerve tissue and the development of infection.
In our root canal treatment applications in Eskişehir, the decision for intervention is made as a result of clinical examination and radiological analyses. The following symptoms generally indicate that an endodontic intervention is necessary:
- Clinical Indications: Severe sensitivity to hot and cold that does not subside, intense pain occurring during chewing, swelling in the gums or on the face at the level of the relevant tooth, significant darkening seen in the color of the tooth, and spontaneous night pain
Neglecting these symptoms can lead to the infection spreading to the jawbone and the surgical extraction of the tooth. Timely interventions eliminate the need for prosthetics by extending the functional life of the tooth. Dentsilya considers preserving the natural form of the tooth as the primary priority in every case.
