Root Canal Treatment

Sometimes a tooth starts to ache, and it may turn out that the dental tissues have been severely damaged by caries bacteria, making root canal treatment necessary. What does this treatment look like?

At the beginning of the procedure, we administer anesthesia to the patient. The treated tooth is isolated from the others using a special clamp and a dental dam. This protects the patient from any substances used during the procedure entering the mouth. Additionally, the dental dam ensures a sterile treatment field.

After thoroughly cleaning and preparing the canals, we use Nanocare Plus, a preparation containing silver and gold nanoparticles. This allows for effective elimination of bacteria responsible for the infection. Next, the dentist carefully seals the canals with biocompatible gutta-percha. This is a natural material that is biocompatible, meaning it is well tolerated by the body. Gutta-percha is inserted into the canal along with a sealant. The entire treatment is monitored with digital X-rays, which allow for quick visualization on a computer screen and an accurate assessment of the procedure.

Retreatment of Root Canal Therapy (Re-Endo)

Why does a tooth require retreatment?

Like any medical procedure, root canal treatment can sometimes have complications. The most common reasons for failure include:

• Narrow or curved canals
• Additional canals that were not found during the initial treatment
• A broken endodontic instrument inside the root canal
• Root or tooth chamber perforation
• Recurrent deep decay
• Infection spreading from adjacent roots

Sometimes, retreatment is needed for teeth that underwent root canal therapy many years ago. In the past, the available tools and technology did not allow for precise treatment. Microscopic magnification was not used, and there were no instruments capable of reaching the ends of narrow or curved root canals.

How does retreatment work?
Retreatment should be performed under magnification, either with a microscope or surgical loupes.

The process is similar to initial root canal therapy but is more complex and requires meticulous diagnostics. Before planning and performing the procedure, we take an X-ray, and if necessary, a CBCT scan of the tooth. After a thorough analysis, the dentist reopens the tooth. Using a microscope, the old filling is removed from the canal. The canal is then carefully cleaned, reshaped, disinfected, and dried. Just like in the initial treatment, gutta-percha and a sealant are inserted into the canal. After completing the treatment, the tooth is restored using a composite filling or a prosthetic crown.

Apicoectomy (Root Resection)

In some cases, retreatment of root canal therapy is not possible. An alternative to this procedure is a micro-apicoectomy. This procedure involves exposing the root, removing the affected portion along with the inflammatory lesion, and sealing the canal with MTA material.

The procedure is performed under local anesthesia and is guided by a surgical microscope. In some cases, it is recommended in combination with root canal retreatment.

Implantology Consultation

During the consultation, we determine the feasibility and indications for implantation and present the patient with an initial treatment plan. This is based on a clinical examination, along with a pantomographic X-ray or CBCT scan, which we perform in our in-office radiology lab. Sometimes, creating diagnostic models is necessary, in which case we take anatomical impressions.

We then propose a date for the next visit, which will involve the implant placement procedure.

Dental Implant Placement

Implant placement is a procedure in which an implant is inserted into the upper or lower jaw under local anesthesia.

Depending on the location of the procedure, anatomical conditions, and whether the implant is placed immediately after tooth extraction, a temporary restoration may be provided to maintain aesthetics and function. These can be fixed or removable prostheses. After about a week, the patient returns for suture removal.

Crown on an Implant

This treatment, involving the placement of single prosthetic crowns, is the most common, as single missing teeth are frequent cases. There are two types of crowns:

• Cemented to the prosthetic abutment
• Screwed onto the implant

To ensure precise positioning, an impression is taken using impression transfers. Additionally, an opposing jaw impression is taken.

During this visit, the appropriate shade for the prosthetic restoration is selected.
Next, the dental technician follows the necessary steps to create the prosthetic crowns.

At the following appointment, the dentist places the completed restoration in the patient’s mouth.

Implant Uncovering

After the healing period, which varies depending on the location and extent of the procedure, the implant is uncovered and a healing abutment is screwed in for about two weeks. This allows for the proper shaping of soft tissues to achieve optimal aesthetics.

The implant uncovering procedure is performed under local anesthesia and typically takes between 2 to 6 months in total, depending on individual conditions.
