Endodontic Treatment

The field of dentistry deals with the diagnosis and treatment of pulp diseases. The endodontist has been specialized in painless endodontic treatment of teeth with narrow, inclined and calcified root canals with unusual morphology. He is the expert in "saving" teeth, which are intended for extraction to a general dentist. By using specialized techniques and special machines (microscope and endoMotor), endodontic treatment results in the elimination and disinfection of the root canals by the microbes and after their three-dimensional obstruction by the method of the Downpack-Backfill system.

Repetition of the Endodontic Therapy

In modern dentistry the success rate of an endodontic treatment is 95%. However, failure can occur due to inadequate decontamination of microbes, insufficient root canals obturation or injury of the tooth. Thus, the materials from the previous endodontic treatment are removed, the root canals must be cleaned again and obturated when the symptoms have been eliminated. Special microscope equipment and endodontic motor are also necessary in this case.

Internal Bleaching

Dyschromia can be a result of injured or endodontic treated tooth. It is an aesthetic problem that can be easily dealt with by the technique of internal bleaching. When a tooth is necrotic and has changed color, before internal bleaching, it must precede the endodontic treatment. If the tooth has already an endodontic treatment and satisfied, then we can proceed to treat the aesthetic problem by internal bleaching directly.
