Modern root canal treatment is nothing like the old methods. It is very similar to routine fillings and can usually be completed in one or two appointments, depending on the condition of the tooth and individual circumstances. Root canal treatment is a very effective treatment method. After the treatment, you can immediately return to smiling, biting and chewing easily. Root canal treatment is completed in 30 - 60 minutes, depending on whether the tooth is single-rooted or multi-rooted. If the treated tooth is not inflamed, the treatment can be completed in a single session. However, if there is an abscess at the tip of the root of the tooth to be treated, root canal treatment may take two or three sessions.
Removing all infected tissue inside the tooth and completely cleaning the main canal of the tooth is of great importance in root canal treatment. Incompletely cleaned and incompletely filled root canals may cause abscess formation at the root of the tooth and even loss of the tooth in the following years.
To destroy microorganisms in the roots during root canal treatment, solutions such as sodium hypochlorite, chlorhexidine, EDTA and laser should be used to sterilize the canal. There are many studies showing that it improves the sterilization level.
A problem-free root canal treatment depends on completely cleaning and filling the canal up to the root end. After the canal system is cleared of all bacteria, it is hermetically filled with special filling materials to prevent re-infection.
Saves Your Damaged Teeth
With root canal treatment, if the tooth does not have too much inflammation, it is damaged. Most teeth can be treated. Developments in endodontic treatments enable the saving of teeth that would have been lost a few years ago. In cases where endodontic treatment is not effective, endodontic surgeries, which we call root end resection, may be considered to save the tooth.
The Aesthetic Image Does Not Change
Correctly performed root canal treatment does not cause any change in the color and form of the tooth. Even if the treated tooth is in the front area, our patients can laugh and talk comfortably. Saving a tooth that has lost too much material with root canal treatment is a more economical and simpler treatment option than implants. A successful root canal treatment can be used aesthetically and functionally for many years.
Most teeth treated with root canal treatment are similar to other natural teeth. It is as durable as r. In some cases, the tooth with root canal treatment does not heal and the pain may continue. In special cases such as persistent infection, very crooked roots, or blocked canals, the treatment may not yield results. In such cases, endodontic surgery methods may be needed in addition to endodontic treatment.
