Endodontics in Krakow - treatment under a microscope

Microscopic endodontics in Krakow – a modern treatment method

Root canal treatment, or endodontics, is necessary in the case of irreversible inflammation of the tooth pulp. It is usually the result of incorrectly treated or neglected caries. It may also prove to be a lifesaver for people who have suffered a serious tooth injury. Thanks to the procedures performed in our office, we are able to save the tooth from extraction. The use of modern techniques and devices, including a microscope, makes the entire process not only painless, but also very precise. Effective treatment therefore requires only one visit.

Root canal treatment Krakow – when should it be performed?

Endodontics focuses on diseases related to the tooth pulp and periapical tissues. Root canal treatment under a microscope in Wieliczka is performed when the inflammation around the bones and the pulp are so advanced that they cannot be reversed. Unfortunately, patients who struggle with such problems complain of severe pain, which usually prompts them to visit the office. Pulp gangrene is caused by the action of anaerobic bacteria. It may take the form of inflammation and, in extreme cases, even necrosis. Lack of treatment results in inflammation of the periapical tissue. Another cause may be very advanced caries or previous incorrect root canal treatment.

It is worth noting that the initial symptoms of pulpitis are tooth darkening and hypersensitivity to cold or sweet taste. Endodontics in Krakow is the only way to save a tooth when the tissue is completely diseased. This method is also recommended when the tooth has become necrotic, cracked or has been subjected to multiple treatments. Introducing endodontic treatment at the appropriate stage will help avoid the appearance of an abscess, which causes very severe pain and hypersensitivity.

Microscopic endodontics in Kraków – why is it worth choosing this method?

Our Denti-Med center in Wieliczka near Krakow uses modern methods of root canal treatment. The use of a microscope allows you to reach the narrowest dental tubules and remove the pulp from them.
The endodontist can therefore obtain a very detailed image of the treated tooth due to the possibility of several times magnification. This results in a significant shortening of not only the procedure itself, but also the recovery period. The basis for the effectiveness of treatment is thorough cleaning of the canals. Thanks to the microscope, our specialists can work very precisely and carefully. Another important advantage is the painless nature of the procedure itself.

What does root canal treatment look like in our office?

Root canal treatment is a demanding procedure, which is due to, among others, from the complicated interior of the tooth and the canals themselves, as well as from a small treatment area. Therefore, it requires very high precision and concentration. However, thanks to the microscope, you can greatly enlarge the image of the tooth chamber and clean the canals. A good endodontist in Krakow is able to perform it very precisely and completely safely. How is the procedure performed in our Denti-Med office?

• The first step is to examine the oral cavity. The dentist must check the degree of damage to the tooth. In addition, we always interview the patient to exclude possible contraindications. It is also necessary to take an X-ray. On its basis, we can determine the condition of the canals and determine the existence of periapical changes.

• Before the procedure, the patient receives local anesthesia. Then, the specialist opens the tooth cavity using a dental drill. He also needs to check the length of the channels. An endometer is used for this purpose.

• The next steps involve removing the infected and dead pulp from the canals and chamber, using special miniature tools. The microscope provides adequate magnification, so the dentist can reach even narrow channels.

• After cleaning the channels, it is necessary to disinfect them. The next step, is to widen and unclog the tissues. Only then, can you proceed to filling them out. For this purpose, gutta-percha points covered with sealant are used. Then another X-ray is taken. The final step is tooth reconstruction.

The price of the procedure in our office depends on, among others: on the number of canals and the size of the defect. Detailed information on this subject can be found in the price list on the website.
