Endodontic Treatment

Endodontic treatment, commonly known as root canal treatment, is the treatment of the area inside the tooth where the nerves and blood vessels are located. When the nerves and blood vessels in the tooth become infected or damaged, the tissue in this area is cleaned, the infected area is removed and then the tooth is filled. Root canal treatment saves the tooth and prolongs the life of the tooth.

As EsIstanbul Dental, we serve with the latest technology and expertise in the field of endodontic treatment. This treatment protects the tooth and restores its functions, relieves pain and preserves the aesthetic and functional structure of the tooth. Root canal treatment is usually required in cases such as severe decay, tooth fractures, infections inside the tooth or extreme sensitivity.

How is Endodontic Treatment Performed?

1. Preparation of the Tooth: Before the treatment begins, the area around the tooth is numbed with local anesthesia. Thus, no pain is felt during the treatment.
2. Removal of Infected Tissue: A small hole is drilled at the top of the tooth and the infected nerves and tissues inside the tooth are carefully removed.
3. Cleaning and Shaping the Root Canal: Once the root canal has been cleaned, the canal is shaped properly.
4. Filling the Canal: After the root canal is completely cleaned, it is filled with a special filling material. This process prevents the tooth from becoming re-infected.
5. Closing the Tooth: After the treatment is completed, the upper part of the tooth is closed. If the tooth is severely damaged, a crown can be applied.

Benefits of Endodontic Treatment

• Saving the Tooth: Root canal treatment allows an infected tooth to be saved by treating it instead of extracting it.
• Painless Dental Treatment: Thanks to the local anesthesia applied, you will not feel any pain during the treatment. There is usually minimal pain after the treatment.
• Functional Recovery: Endodontic treatment restores the tooth to its former functionality and allows it to fulfill normal dental functions.
• Ensures Longevity of the Tooth: The root canal treated tooth can be used for years with proper care, thus preventing tooth loss.

Conditions in Which Endodontic Treatment is Necessary

• If deep caries has reached the nerves of the tooth
• If there are infections or abscesses inside the tooth
• If the nerves are damaged due to fractures or cracks in the tooth
