What happens during Endodontic Treatment? What is a root canal? A local anesthetic will be given. A sheet of latex called "rubber dam" will be placed around the tooth to isolate it, hense keeping it clean and dry during treatment. The basic treatment consist of three or four basic steps, but the number of visits will depend on your particular case. Some treatments take 2 visits but many are just a single visit. Occasionally 3 appointments may be needed. It will depend on the degree of infection/inflammation and degree of treatment difficulty Endodontics is a branch of dentistry recognized by the American Dental Association involving treatment of the pulp (root canal) and surrounding tissues of the tooth. When you look at your tooth in the mirror, what you see is the crown. The rest of the tooth, the portion hidden beneath the gum line, is called the root. Though the outer portion of the root is a hard tissue called dentin, the inside channel or "root canal" contains a pulp of soft tissue, blood vessels and nerves. Bacteria that are introduced into the pulp as a result of tooth decay, periodontal disease, tooth fracture or other problems, can severely damage the pulp. When that happens, an endodontic specialist removes the diseased pulp to save the tooth and prevent further infection and inflammation. After successful endodontic treatment, the tooth continues to perform normally. I'm worried about x-rays. Should I be? While x-rays will be necessary during your endodontics treatment, we use an advanced non-film computerized system, called digital radiography, that produces radiation levels up to 90 percent lower than those of already low dose conventional dental x-ray machinery. What about infection? What happens after treatment? When your root canal therapy has been completed, a record of your treatment will be sent to your general dentist. You will need to contact your dentist for the permanent restoration. Your general dentist will decide on what type of restoration is necessary to protect your tooth. It is rare for endodontic patients to experience complications after routine endodontic treatment or microsurgery. If a problem does occur, however, we are available at all times to respond. Will I feel pain during or after treatment? Modern anesthetics can make the procedure pain free in most cases. We will take every measure to ensure that your procedure is in no way uncomfortable or painful. Treatment should feel no different than having a regular filling. For the first week after treatment, there may be some sensitivity to biting pressure, especially if there was pain or infection prior to the procedure. Over-the-counter anti-inflammatory medications are recommended for a day or two. The Doctor's can prescribe other medications but they are rarely needed. As an endodontic patient, what should I expect? A comprehensive examination to diagnose orthofacial pain and pulpal injury and determine if the tooth is a good candidate for endodontic therapy. Non-surgical treatment to eliminate the diseased pulp. This injured pulp is removed and the root canal system is thoroughly cleaned and sealed. Under certain circumstances, microsurgery may be indicated. We are experts in performing this procedure, and utilize sophisticated equipment to ensure the best result.

Endodoncija je grana stomatologije koja se bavi prevencijom, dijagnostikom i liječenjem anomalija unutar pulpe ili korijena. Zubna pulpa (živac) se nalazi unutar kanala, koji se nalazi u svakom korijenu zuba. Pulpa se sastoji od živaca, krvnih žila i vezivnog tkiva, koja igra važnu ulogu u razvoju i održavanju vitalnosti zuba. Endodontsko liječenje se provodi kada je karijes uništio zub duboko ispod cakline i dentina i došao do pulpe. Prodor toksina i bakterija uzrokuje infekcije pulpe, što dovodi do povećane osjetljivosti zuba kod žvakanja. Ako se upaljeni zub ne liječi, dolazi do širenja infekcije na kosti pritom stvarajući granulom oko vrha korijena. Prioritet naših stomatologa je izliječiti i sačuvati zub i njegov korijen, ali terapija zahtijeva strpljenje koje je često bitan i nužan dio kod endodontskog liječenja zuba. Da biste dobili bolji uvid na koji način se provodi liječenje zuba, ovdje su objašnjene etape liječenja zuba:1. Prije početka endodontskog liječenja potrebno je napraviti 3D rendgensku snimku oboljelih zuba. Terapija se izvodi pod lokalnom anestezijom, kako bi se postupak bio manje bolan i da zahvat bude što precizniji. Endodoncija počinje uklanjanjem oboljelog tkiva zuba, uklanjanjem upaljene zubne pulpe kemijskim i mehaničkim čišćenjem u svrhu uklanjanja bakterija i zaraženog dentina iz korijenskoga kanala. Hermetičkim punjenjem korijenskoga kanala i restauracije krune zuba dobiva se trajno rješenje. Proces liječenja ne bi trebao biti bolan, samo što zahtijeva više posjeta kod stomotaloga i strpljenja. Nakon tretmana korijenskoga kanala, može doći do oštećenja površine zuba ili zub može potamniti. Za riješenje tog problema se preporučuje staviti krunicu ili most. Na taj način, zub je zaštićen te se održava njegova funkcionalnost i estetika.
