For the past 20-30 years, dentists preferred to extract teeth that they thought would not be treated with simple filling treatment. The natural tooth bestowed on humans is located within the jaw bones to perform the chewing function in the most perfect way with its structure, layers and surrounding tissues. Our teeth are one of the most important organs that enable us to grow, develop and then survive by eating healthy. Our teeth have a very important function in preserving our beauty and the physical strength and energy we have.
Thanks to their multi-layered structure, teeth stretch at a level that the human eye cannot see; Thanks to their special anatomical features and the periodontal ligament surrounding the tooth, they distribute the chewing forces transmitted along the jawbone, and the tiny receptors distributed in the support tissue surrounding the tooth are capable of detecting even the smallest fig seed on or around your tooth. Thanks to all these features, there is no treatment method or method that is as beneficial to the patient as preserving and keeping natural teeth in the mouth for a healthy smile and effective chewing function. Dental implants are a cylindrical artificial material generally made of titanium material. They are placed in a slot created in the jawbone and waited for a certain period of time to fuse with the jawbone. Dental implants do not have the high-level sensation mechanism and chewing force absorbing and reducing properties of natural teeth. Although tooth decay does not develop in dental implants, gum recession (periodontitis) problems that occur around natural teeth also occur in dental implants (periimplantitis). Therefore, the sensitivity to care and oral hygiene that should be shown to natural teeth should also be shown to implant teeth.
Root canal treatment is applied in cases of deep tooth decay that exceeds the enamel and dentin layers of the teeth and reaches the pulp (the innermost part of the tooth), and the natural tooth is treated. It is repaired with the most suitable restorative and aesthetic material for the tooth. Finally, sometimes porcelain, zirconium, etc. are applied to the teeth in order to keep and protect the teeth in the mouth for a long time. Teeth can be kept in the mouth for many years by making veneers from materials. In this respect The physician's advice and explanatory information should be relied upon. Root canal treatment (Endodontics) can be performed on almost all teeth that have 1-2 mm of healthy tooth tissue above the gum. If the remaining tooth tissue is not suitable for repairing the tooth and undergoing root canal treatment, then extraction of the tooth is recommended as a last option. In teeth that are too damaged to undergo root canal treatment and when the tooth has to be extracted, implant treatment is an option that comes to mind to maintain the chewing functions of patients. If this is not preferred, fixed bridge prostheses and removable prostheses are recommended to patients.
For teeth with difficult anatomy, especially in the back group, it would be in the best interest of patients to consult a Root Canal Treatment Specialist-Endodontist.
