Root canals
Microscopic endodontics
Microscopic endodontics
The branch of the Dentistry which deals with the morphology, physiology and pathology of the dental pulp and the tissues around the root.
Endodontics is the treatment of the root canals. toothInside the tooth canals is the dental pulp, which is what gives the tooth sensitivity.
Endodontic treatment is necessary when the dental pulp becomes inflamed or infected. This can occur for various reasons: deep caries, trauma or fractures in the tooth and other pathological processes that may affect the tooth. If the inflammation or infection of the pulp is not treated, intermittent or constant pain may occur and sometimes a phlegmon (with swelling of the gum of the oral mucosa) or a fistula (with suppuration) may appear.
Signs of a damaged pulp include pain, prolonged sensitivity to cold or heat, color changes, and swelling and tenderness in the gums around the tooth. Sometimes, there are no symptoms.
Endodontic treatment may also be recommended for teeth that require carving for the subsequent placement of crowns or fixed bridges.
Through the endodontics We try to prevent dental infections, save the tooth and maintain the tissue surrounding the tooth. When a tooth has a severe infection and requires endodontic treatment, this treatment is designed to eliminate bacteria from the tooth canals, prevent reinfection and save the natural tooth. Because it is such a precise treatment, at Clínica Dental Fuentes Méndez we perform endodontic treatments with a microscope, in this way the treatment can be done in a more precise and minimally invasive way.
Endodontic treatment with microscope
Provides a more accurate analysis and diagnosis.
In addition, it provides greater safety as it provides greater width and illumination of the area to be treated. In this way, the success of the treatment is guaranteed. Using a microscope saves time and effectiveness at all times. Using endodontics with a microscope is the most advisable for complex cases, and to try to save very damaged pieces, either due to wear or fractures.
