Root canal treatment
How to preserve badly damaged teeth after all. „This tooth has a big problem. The decay had progressed so far that it finally reached the pulp, then “nerve”. The space where the pulp is located in a healthy tooth is shown here in blue and is called the pulp chamber. Nevertheless, the tooth is not lost. It can be treated.”
What is the cause of the problem?
Caries is the most common cause. It usually starts on the surface facing the neighbouring tooth and spreads slowly towards the pulp. The pulp can also be opened by a fracture / fracture of the dental crown (e.g. sports accident).
What are the consequences?
Once the bacteria of the caries have reached the pulp, they spread inside it. Thus it dies off with the time. This can be accompanied by an acute inflammation of the pulp and severe discomfort, or it can happen quietly and silently. The surrounding tissue of the root tips will eventually become inflamed.
How can we help?
The cavity of the former pulp offers optimal conditions for the bacteria to multiply undisturbed. This space must be completely freed from the tissue of the dead pulp as well as the bacteria present. For this purpose, root canal instruments are used in the first step to remove the old tissue and bacteria. This is followed by thorough disinfection and tight sealing of the now clean cavity.
What can you expect?
First, you will be given cause. If, for example, the caries is responsible, it will be removed and the defect restored. Then the tooth can be treated in isolation to create a bacteria-free environment. Usually the root canal treatment can be done in one session. If the inflammation is already very advanced, in some cases a second session may be necessary.
