Root canal treatment in Türkiye

What is root canal treatment?

Root canal treatment “endodontics” is a treatment to save severely damaged or infected teeth. The treatment is carried out by removing the “core” of the damaged part, washing it, sterilizing it, and packing it.

Root canal treatment is a branch of dentistry that deals with the treatment and repair of the pulp (living tissue with nerves) of a tooth.

Root canal treatment is done due to pulp damage, severe inflammation, or damage to the tooth for any reason, and because it causes tooth extraction in later periods. Root canal treatment is the process of removing the core of the tooth, disinfecting the affected area and filling it with filling material. This treatment is called “ root canal ” because of the cleaning of the canals at the root of the tooth.

The occurrence of cold and hot sensitivity of the teeth
Pain during the night without any stimuli

Stages of root canal treatment

The doctor asks the patient to perform a number of procedures, including:

Dental x-rays
anesthesia
Pulpectomy
Filling process

Dental x-ray:

In the event of damage or decay in the teeth for any reason, and if the doctor confirms the need for root canal treatment, he asks the patient to take x-rays to determine the exact location of the caries.

anesthesia:

First, local anesthesia is applied to the tooth area, in order to make the necessary filling for the teeth.

Pulpectomy:

Anesthesia is done by opening the cavity of the tooth and removing the infected pulp. This process may take a short or long time, depending on the condition of the tooth. After local anesthesia, the patient does not feel any pain.

Filling:

A cavity occurs in the area after the pulp has been removed. This space is filled with different materials. All of these procedures take an average of about 1 hour, depending on the extent of the tooth damage and the substance of the tooth. Root canal treatment usually requires cracked teeth, deep decay and tooth damage due to impact on the tooth. In such cases, if there is a chance to save the tooth, artificial veneers are not performed. It is best to seal the tooth with a filling material to preserve the original tooth. Expert doctors always do their best to preserve the tooth, and they should refrain from extracting it as much as possible.

Is there pain after root canal treatment?

After root canal treatment, there may be slight pain for the first day or two while chewing food. The patient may use anti-inflammatory drugs to relieve these pains.

Is the use of antibiotics necessary when dental infections occur?

Antibiotics are used for severe infections. There is no need to use antibiotics during the treatment phase as local anesthesia is applied to the tooth. But if there is excessive inflammation in the tooth, the doctor may want to use antibiotics to clear up the infection for some time.

When is root canal treatment necessary?

Root canal treatment is applied in cases of tooth decay leading to the nerve
In the event of fractures in the nerve of the tooth as a result of trauma
In orthodontic treatments, when a vital tooth/teeth is missing as a result of excessive force on the teeth
Advanced periodontal disease
To remove tooth sensitivity with severe erosion
The filler is made for higher fillers and prostheses.

When should you see the dentist?

It is necessary to see a dental specialist, when the teeth are damaged for any reason, or when pus accumulates in the jaw bone from the root of the tooth, causing an abscess, which leads to the destruction of the bone surrounding the tooth and the smell in the mouth.
