Endodontic (root canal) treatment

In case of inflammation or necrosis of a tooth with or without accompanying pain due to various causes (dental caries, wound) and in order to maintain the tooth functional and symptomatic in the dentition, the endodontic (root canal) treatment is recommended. During the procedure of endodontic treatment and after adequate local anaesthesia has been administered, the tooth is drilled so that there can be an access to its nerve, which is removed. Subsequently, the root canal of the tooth is cleaned and disinfected chemico-mechanically and the appropriate antiseptic medicines are placed. At the end of the treatment the root canal of the tooth is filled with the appropriate biocompatible materials and the tooth is restored with a filling or a crown (cap) and is maintained symptomatic and functional in the mouth after the treatment.
