What is Endodontics?

Endodontics (internal and odontos tooth) is that specific branch of dentistry that deals with treating the various affections of the dental pulp (nerve).

Endodontic Treatment or Rooth Canal Treatment, as it is also known, is carried out when there is a pulp infection. The tooth’s pulp infection most often occurs either because of large cavities, or cavities that have appeared next to older obstructions. However, these can also appear because of trauma exercised to the tooth, but also because of periodontal affections. If the infection is not treated ahead of time, the tissue will be affected from the top of the root and the periodontal ligaments, which help to support the tooth in the bone, therefore, leading to the infection of neighbouring tissues with serious consequences: the loss of the tooth or even the extended infection of the bone. According to the inflammatory process, the endodontic treatment can require several therapeutic sessions. The ultimate purpose of the root canal treatment is to remove the pain, together with the affected tissues and to obstruct across the entire lenght of the root chanals.

At StomaMedical we make these workmanships using the newest and most secure technology in the field:

• Retro- alveolar digital X-ray – for viewing the anatomy of the root;
• Diga – perfect isolation of the tooth against saliva contamination, but also protecting the patient against the undesired taste of substances;
• Apex locator – for the precise electronic determination of canal length;
• Preparation and mechanical enlargement of canals using the latest endodontic motor for the removal of affected tissues;
• Hot clogging using gutta-percha – used for the sealing and hermetic filling of canals;
