Endodontics is the treatment of the tooth ducts in which the dental pulp is located<\/strong> which usually flares up as a result of an untreated caries that goes from superficial to deep (but there may also be other reasons).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dental pulp is the connective tissue found inside the tooth, in the crown and root canals: when a caries goes deep, it goes to the pulp of the tooth and its nerve.<\/strong>To preserve the tooth and avoid removing it, it is therefore necessary to devitalize it<\/strong> (neutralize its vitality), or empty it of infected dental pulp<\/strong>from the vessels and the nerve and then fill it with a specific inert material<\/strong> replacing the pulp.<\/p>\n\n\n

How to know if we should devitalize a tooth?<\/h2>\n\n\n

A tooth that needs devitalization and therefore has suffered pulp or nerve damage it's usually a tooth that hurts<\/strong>It can hurt all the time, regardless of external stress or only on certain occasions (perhaps during chewing).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If there is a pain situation it is necessary to Visit the dentist for a check-up.<\/strong>On this occasion, the dentist examines the patient's mouth through a visual examination (and, if necessary, also through a dental examination).panoramic adiography)<\/strong> to assess any damage and decide on the best course of treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Periodic visits to the dentist are therefore essential to identify caries or other pathologies in their early stages and to be able to intervene with a less invasive conservative treatment than devitalization<\/strong>It is also more challenging on the economic front.<\/p>\n\n\n

How is a root canal procedure performed?<\/h2>\n\n\n

Endodontic treatments are performed with local anaesthesia in a single session that usually lasts about an hour or less<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once the dentist opens a pathway into the tooth in order to reach the pulp<\/strong> you export it in such a way that eliminate all bacteria accumulated as a result of the infection<\/strong>once all the pulp has been removed and the root canal is emptied and disinfected<\/strong>It is filled with a specific inert material.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a final step, The tooth is sealed with a temporary filling which is not replaced until later.<\/strong>during a subsequent session in which The tooth is reconstructed and covered with a capsule. <\/strong>which acts as protection (devitalized teeth are more fragile).<\/p>\n\n\n

How's the post-op course?<\/h2>\n\n\n

After devitalization<\/strong> of a tooth the patient may experience:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  • pain and inflammation of the gum<\/li>
  • difficulty in opening the mouth fully (transient situation that resolves itself)<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    If the pain is very intense it is good to go back to the dentist who can prescribe, if necessary, a supportive drug therapy to relieve symptoms<\/strong> annoying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    In the days following surgery it is advisable to do not consume drinks or food that are too hot<\/strong> and avoid using the newly devitalized tooth for chewing.<\/p>\n\n\n

    How to avoid having to resort to devitalization of a tooth?<\/h2>\n\n\n

    Le pathologies affecting the oral cavity<\/strong> that worsen to the point of requiring devitalization (e.g. caries) are less challenging if diagnosed in the early stages.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    A good oral hygiene and regular visits to the dentist<\/strong> they allow us to keep our mouths under control and intervene promptly to resolve any problems<\/strong> which, if underestimated, require more invasive and expensive treatments.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
