Endodontic Dentistry

Endodontic Dentistry

Endodontic dentistry is related to the field of dentistry related with tooth pulp and pulp problems. Damage to teeth, such as cracks or deep cavities, can reach down to the nerve tissue and blood vessels residing in the soft pulp of the tooth. Damage to the pulp can lead to painful swelling, damage to the jaw bones or muscles, and the formation of abscesses. If left unchecked, this could lead to loss of tooth or tooth removal. 

Damaged pulp once led to the removal of the tooth. With today’s advancement, however, dentists use a procedure called a root canal to restore and protect the tooth’s nerves and blood vessels hence saving the tooth. The primary goal of endodontic treatment is to create an environment within the root canal system which allows for healing and continued maintenance of the health of periradicular tissue. A successful procedure is one which has removed bacteria in the tooth and completely filled the canals.

At our dental clinic, modern endodontic technologies such as endodontic microscope, root locator, endodontic micromotor, endodontic obturation systems are utilized to provide better prognosis, increase safety and increase the long term success rate.
