Endodontics

Endodontics is a fundamental branch of dentistry dedicated to the diagnosis and treatment of conditions affecting the living part of the tooth, the pulp.

Understanding endodontics

The dental pulp, often referred to as the “nerve”, is the vital core of the tooth, responsible for its sensitivity. When affected by trauma, cavities, or cracks, inflammation can occur, leading to a condition known as pulpitis. This inflammation is often associated with severe pain, sometimes described as toothache or dental abscess pain.

Root canal treatment : A necessity

Without proper treatment, pulpitis can progress to pulp necrosis, followed by infection of the tooth root and possibly a periapical abscess. In most cases, a root canal treatment is required to prevent further complications.

How root canal treatment works

During a root canal procedure, the dentist:

  • Opens the pulp chamber and root canals to remove infected or necrotic tissues.
  • Performs thorough disinfection to eliminate bacteria.
  • Seals the canals with biocompatible materials to prevent reinfection.

Advanced techniques & high-quality care

At D1 Dental Concept, we use high-quality Swiss-made endodontic instruments, recognized worldwide for their precision and reliability. Additionally, we frequently use magnification tools such as surgical loupes and operating microscopes to enhance treatment accuracy.

Post-treatment restoration

To ensure the durability of the tooth following a root canal, it is crucial to restore the structure with a strong and protective solution. Depending on the level of damage, a customs onlay or crown may be recommended to fully restore the tooth’s function.
