Root Canal Treatment – ​​What is Endodontics?

Root canal treatment is the process of cleaning the infected or damaged nerve tissue (pulp) inside the tooth, disinfecting the inner structure of the tooth, and then filling this space with special filling materials. This treatment is called an endodontic treatment aimed at eliminating problems in the root canals of the tooth. Root canal treatment prevents more radical procedures such as tooth extraction, and preserves the natural tooth.

When is Root Canal Treatment Required?

The following are common situations in which root canal treatment is required:

• Deep Tooth Decay: When the decay reaches deep into the tooth and damages the nerve tissue.

• Traumatic Damage: When the tooth is broken, cracked or damaged by the root as a result of accidents or impacts.

• Intradental Infection: When infections that occur inside the tooth are not treated with root canal treatment, they can spread to the surrounding tissues.

• Repeated Treatments: If a tooth that has been previously filled becomes infected again, root canal treatment may be necessary.

What is the Root Canal Treatment Process at Ova Dental Clinic?

At Ova Dental Oral and Dental Health Polyclinic, root canal treatment is carried out with modern technological infrastructure and scientific methods at every stage. The root canal treatment process includes the following steps:

• Detailed Examination and Radiological Examination

Before treatment, the root structure of the tooth is examined in detail. The condition of the root canals and the extent of the infection are determined with digital x-ray and 3D imaging methods. This stage is vital for the successful progress of the treatment.

• Painless Procedure with Local Anesthesia

In order to keep our patients’ comfort at the highest level, local anesthesia is applied before the treatment. In this way, no pain is felt during the root canal treatment.

• Cleaning Infected Tissue

The infected pulp tissue inside the tooth is cleaned and the root canals are disinfected. Thanks to our modern equipment, this process is carried out extremely precisely and effectively.

• Canal Filling

The cleaned root canals are filled with special biocompatible filling materials. This filling increases the durability of the tooth and prevents re-infection.

• Tooth Reconstruction

After the root canal treatment is completed, the upper part of the tooth is restored. In most cases, a crown (cap) can be applied to preserve the natural structure of the tooth. This ensures the long-term functionality and aesthetic appearance of the tooth.

What Should Be Considered After Root Canal Treatment?

After root canal treatment, it is important to take some precautions until the tooth’s healing process is complete. After treatment, your dentist will inform you about the points you should pay attention to and possible side effects. Generally, slight sensitivity may be experienced in the first few days after root canal treatment, but this is temporary.

• Avoid putting pressure on your teeth after treatment.
• Take recommended medications regularly.
• Be sure to attend your dentist’s check-up sessions.
