Endodontics
Endodontics is the branch of dentistry dedicated to the diagnosis and treatment of irreversible damage to the dental pulp. — the inner tissue of the tooth containing blood vessels and nerve endings, which are often responsible for severe pain.
When this structure is affected, usually due to deep cavities or infections, it can deteriorate. Without treatment, the infection can spread to the surrounding tissues and, in more severe cases, affect overall health.
Endodontic treatment, commonly known as a “root canal treatment,” consists of removing the infected tissue, then cleaning, disinfecting, and filling the root canals.
This is a highly precise procedure requiring clinical expertise, the use of magnification systems, and specialized instruments adapted to the complexity of the root canals.
This approach helps preserve the natural tooth, eliminate pain, and restore its function, thereby contributing to the patient’s health and well-being.
