The first stage of treatment includes examination. After the examination by the dentist, the area where the treatment will be applied is anesthetized with local anesthesia. Thus, the patient does not feel anything during the procedure. After the relevant area is anesthetized, the bruises are cleaned and the problematic nerve is treated.
In the next stage, the shaping process is applied so that the patient can continue his/her life comfortably. After shaping is completed, the process is completed by using suitable filling materials. Today, filling materials that match the natural tooth structure are used so that after root canal treatment, no color mismatch occurs between the teeth.
Symptoms and pain patterns that indicate the need for root canal treatment are as follows:
- Severe, long-lasting, throbbing pain that starts for no reason.
- Pain caused by the contact of the teeth with each other or the contact of a material with the tooth.
- Pain that starts when the tooth encounters a hot factor (tea, coffee, etc.)
- Night pains that wake you up from sleep
Frequently Asked Questions
- An Endodontist is a dentist who has undergone a minimum of 2 years of extra postgraduate training after dental school. This training allows an Endodontist to diagnose and treat diseases of the dental pulp and surrounding tissues, as well as differentiating between different types of orofacial pain. General dentists typically refer their patients to an endodontist when the diagnosis is complicated or treatment may be more challenging. Endodontists offices are equipped with specialized Operating Microscopes which greatly enhance diagnostic capabilities and technical precision during treatment. It is important to us that our patients understand why they need Endodontic Treatment and that they are aware of the steps that they must follow to optimize treatment results. Therefore, do not hesitate to ask us for clarification or explanation at any time during consultation or treatment.
Endodontics is the branch of dentistry dedicated to treating the dental pulp. When you look at your tooth in the mirror, what you see is the crown. The rest of the tooth, the portion hidden beneath the gum line, is called the root. Though the outer portion of the root is a hard tissue called dentin, the inside channel or “root canal” contains pulp consisting of soft tissue, blood vessels and nerves. Bacteria and bacterial products that are introduced into the pulp as a result of tooth decay, periodontal disease, trauma, tooth fracture or other problems, can severely damage the pulp. When that happens, an endodontist removes the diseased pulp to save the tooth and prevent further infection and inflammation. After successful Endodontic Treatment, the tooth will continue to function normally.
Endodontic treatment is necessary when the pulp becomes inflamed or infected. The most common reasons for inflammation or infection are deep cavities (caries), repeated dental procedures, and cracks or chips. Trauma can also cause inflammation and often shows up as discoloration of the tooth. If pulp inflammation or infection is left untreated, it can cause pain or lead to an abscess. In certain instances, your general dentist may recommend endodontic treatment for restorative purposes even if the pulp is not inflamed or infected.
Endodontic treatment enables an inflamed or infected tooth to be saved. After a tooth is endodontically treated and subsequently restored with a crown or filling by your general dentist, it should not hurt and continue to function normally. The success rate of endodontic treatment is very high, between 90% and 95%, and is typically less expensive and less invasive than replacing a lost tooth with a bridge or dental implant.
Indications for Endodontic Treatment include prolonged sensitivity to heat or cold, discoloration of the tooth, pain on biting, swelling or tenderness of the tooth or adjacent gums, and the appearance of an abscess on an x-ray. Sometimes there are no signs and symptoms.
