What does endodontic treatment at Sana Oris involve?
Endodontic treatment involves treating the root canal affected by an infection. Endodontic treatment is particularly necessary when the pulp of the tooth and its nerve endings are inflamed or infected.
It is important to stress the importance of annual visits for effective endodontic treatment. Endodontic treatment is necessary when the root canal of a tooth is infected or inflamed, often due to deep decay, trauma, cracking, fracture or necrosis. In some cases, the pain can be unbearable due to a purulent collection compressing the nerve endings.
At Sana Oris, we understand the importance of detecting dental problems at an early stage. Even if there are no apparent lesions, dental trauma can lead to complications, including cracks that are difficult to detect without appropriate medical imaging.
What does endodontic treatment at Sana Oris involve ?
Endodontic treatment is required to treat infection which, if left untreated, is likely to spread from the inside of the tooth to the jawbone and the soft tissues surrounding the tooth, with the risk of destruction (osteolysis). It is carried out by an expert in endodontics who works in collaboration with experts in implantology or periodontics, to ensure optimum overall treatment.
Infection can develop without symptoms and have serious consequences. These can be minimised by treating the condition at an early stage.
Devitalization of a tooth is the treatment of choice in endodontics: it consists of removing all inflamed or infected tissue by deep cleaning of the canals inside the tooth and eliminating bacteria and organic debris.
Here are the steps involved in endodontic treatment :
- Anaesthesia: Before starting the procedure, the endodontist administers a local anaesthetic to numb the area around the tooth to be treated. This ensures that the patient feels no pain during the procedure.
- Access to the pulp: Once the area has been anaesthetised, the dentist isolates the tooth to be treated from the rest of the mouth. A small opening is made in the crown of the tooth to allow access to the dental pulp.
- Pulp removal: The endodontist gently removes infected or damaged pulp from inside the tooth and root canals.
- Filling the canals: Once the root canals have been cleaned, they are filled with a filling material with a specific cement to ensure a watertight seal and prevent re-infection.
- Tooth restoration: Once the canals have been filled, the tooth cavity is sealed with a restorative material, such as a prosthesis or crown, to protect the tooth and restore it to its normal shape and function.
- Aftercare and maintenance: After root canal treatment, it’s important to look after the treated tooth by practising good oral hygiene, avoiding hard or sticky foods that could damage the tooth, and seeing the dentist regularly for check-ups and X-rays.
The endodontic technical platform
In order to provide optimal care, Clinique Sana Oris has state-of-the-art equipment, such as high-definition digital radiology or Cone Beam CT (CBCT), as well as an endodontic microscope:
Dental X-rays: Dental X-rays are often taken before, during and after endodontic treatment. They show the internal structure of the tooth, the extent of infection and the effectiveness of the treatment.
Cone Beam: CBCT generates detailed three-dimensional images of internal tooth structure, allowing endodontists to detect subtle details and view the tooth from different angles. This precise technique helps to assess root canals, tooth roots, fractures and other structural abnormalities, facilitating the planning and precise execution of endodontic treatment. In addition, CBCT reveals infections and lesions that are not visible on conventional dental radiographs, such as apical infections, cysts and granulomas, enabling appropriate endodontic treatment.
Endodontic microscope: The endodontic microscope is a specialised tool used during endodontic treatment to provide a magnified and enhanced view of the treatment area. It is equipped with an integrated light source and optical lenses that allow the finest details of tooth structure and root canals to be observed.
