What is Endodontics?
Endodontics is a branch of dentistry that deals with the treatment of the living tissues inside the tooth and around the tooth root. This field covers the treatment of long-lasting tooth pain, thermal (cold-hot) sensitivities, tooth abscesses, and discolored teeth.
What is Root Canal Treatment?
Root canal treatment is a procedure in which the inflamed tissue caused by decay is removed from the tooth. This tissue is responsible for nourishing the tooth and providing sensation. After removing the inflamed tissue, the endodontist disinfects the root canals and fills them with appropriate materials.
Is Pain Felt During Root Canal Treatment?
Before starting the root canal treatment, the area is numbed with local anesthesia. This ensures that the procedure is completed without any pain being felt during the treatment.
How Many Sessions Does Root Canal Treatment Take?
Root canal treatment is mostly completed in a single session. However, in cases of severe infection, the treatment may extend to two sessions. The number of sessions is determined by the endodontist based on the condition of the affected tooth.
How Long Does Root Canal Treatment Take?
At Well Dems Travel Agency clinic, root canal treatment is performed by an endodontist and is usually completed in a single session, including the filling, in approximately one hour.
What is the Sensation in the Tooth After Root Canal Treatment?
Since the nerves of the treated tooth are removed during the procedure, there is no sensation in the tooth after the treatment. However, mild pain in the treated tooth and surrounding area may be felt for a few days following the procedure.
When is a Porcelain Crown Necessary for a Root Canal Treated Tooth?
Teeth that undergo root canal treatment often suffer significant material loss due to decay. If the filling required after root canal treatment is large enough to cover a significant portion of the tooth, it may lead to the fracture of the tooth or the filling. In such cases, a porcelain crown can be used to prevent this from happening.
What is Root Canal Retreatment, and When is it Needed?
Root canal retreatment involves removing the previous root canal filling material and reshaping the canals when it is believed that a previously performed root canal treatment was unsuccessful. If the symptoms in a root canal treated tooth persist, such as pain, sensitivity, or infection, retreatment can be performed under appropriate conditions. Root canal treatment is a repeatable procedure, and retreatment can yield highly successful results.
What Treatment Can Be Applied to Teeth That Are Mostly Broken?
In teeth that have been broken or have lost significant tissue due to decay or trauma, post and core applications following root canal treatment can restore the teeth, allowing them to function in the mouth for many years.
How Long Does a Root Canal Treated Tooth Last?
Teeth that have undergone successful root canal treatment can function in the mouth for many years with proper oral hygiene.
