Endodontics
Endodontics is a specialized branch of dentistry that focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of diseases and injuries affecting the dental pulp and surrounding tissues. The dental pulp is the innermost part of the tooth, containing nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissue
Key Procedures:
Root Canal Treatment: This is the most common endodontic procedure, involving the removal of infected or damaged pulp, cleaning and shaping the root canal, and filling it to prevent reinfection.
Endodontic Retreatment: This procedure is performed when a previous root canal treatment fails to heal properly.
Apicoectomy: A surgical procedure that removes the tip of the tooth’s root to treat persistent infections.
Endodontic Surgery: Includes various surgical interventions to save teeth with complex issues
Benefits:
Pain Relief: Effective treatment of tooth pain caused by infections or inflammation.
Tooth Preservation: Saves natural teeth that would otherwise need to be extracted.
Improved Oral Health: Prevents the spread of infection and promotes healing of surrounding tissues
