Endodontics

When deep caries affects the inside of the tooth, specialized dental care is needed. At Dentatime Clinic, we have modern equipment and a team of specialists who apply the latest treatment methods for atraumatic treatment and long-term results.

What is endodontics?

Also known as root canal treatment, endodontics is a branch of modern dental medicine that deals with the treatment of inflammatory processes in the inner tissue of the tooth (dental pulp), which consists of nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissue.

This area of established dental practice covers pulp diagnosis, periodontitis treatment, and prevention of diseases related to hard tooth tissues.

Endodontics is the branch of dental medicine that can save teeth and prevent more serious dental diseases. Properly performed root canal treatment is extremely important for preserving the tooth and for the success of subsequent complex dental treatment.

Stages of treatment

The first step towards successful treatment is professional diagnosis. Every root canal treatment goes through the following stages.

Diagnosis and planning

The process begins with a careful X-ray examination and clinical assessment of the condition of the tooth and treatment planning.

Anesthesia and isolation

After administering local anesthesia, which ensures painless treatment, the tooth is isolated. This method ensures a sterile working environment and prevents saliva from entering the root canals.

Access to the root canals

Specialized dental instruments are used to access the pulp chamber and root canals of the tooth.

Cleaning and widening

This is followed by mechanical treatment of the canals and preparation of the root canals with modern rotary instruments. We use an apex locator – a system for accurately determining the length of the root canals, which ensures precise and effective treatment.

Disinfection

It is extremely important to properly widen and disinfect the root canals in order to completely eliminate the infection and prevent possible recurrence after treatment.

Filling

The root canals are then filled with the most modern materials and canal filling agents to seal off access to bacteria. This way, the treated tooth will remain functional for many years.

What are the advantages of this type of treatment?

Root canal treatment offers many benefits.

The main advantages are:

Preservation of the natural tooth – extraction is avoided.

Painless treatment – modern anesthetics ensure comfort during the procedure.

Use of a dental microscope – allows visualization and treatment of the most complex cases with maximum precision.

Arsenic-free treatment – at Dentatime, we use modern methods without the use of toxic medications.

Microsurgical endodontics – the possibility of treating cases that were previously considered hopeless.

Properly performed treatment guarantees a healthy tooth for decades to come.

How do we know if we need root canal treatment?

The most common reasons for needing root canal treatment are complications from tooth decay—inflammation of the pulp (pulpitis) and the tissues around the tooth root (periodontitis).

Signs that require a visit to a specialist:

Severe, throbbing pain in the tooth, especially at night;
Prolonged sensitivity to hot and cold;
Swelling of the gums around the tooth;
Darkening of the tooth color;
Pain when chewing or touching;
Appearance of a fistula or pus-filled sac on the gum;
Spontaneous pain without apparent cause.

It is important to know that sometimes periodontitis can be asymptomatic and only detected by X-ray examination. Therefore, regular check-ups are part of successful prevention of diseases that require root canal treatment.

How long does it take?

At Dentatime Clinic, a specialized team of dental doctors can perform root canal treatment in one visit—painlessly and without the use of toxic medications.

In some cases, more visits are necessary, especially when treating already dead teeth, as well as in the presence of more severe inflammatory processes.

After completing the root canal (endodontic) treatment, we will offer you various options for restoring the treated tooth.

What techniques and equipment do we use?

At Dentatime Clinic, our specialists pay special attention to root canal treatment, using high-tech equipment. This includes working under a state-of-the-art microscope with a 4K camera, a system for accurate length determination—an apex locator—and root canal enlargement—an endodontic handpiece.

This equipment allows us to treat even the most complex cases, including narrow and calcified canals, as well as to perform surgical endodontics and microsurgical endodontics when necessary.
