When is the Treatment Required?

Endodontic treatment becomes necessary when the pulp inside your tooth becomes infected or inflamed due to deep decay, cracks, or trauma. Common signs include severe toothache, prolonged sensitivity to hot or cold, and swelling around the affected area.

Advanced Treatments

  • Microscopic Endodontics

    The use of high-powered microscopes during root canal procedures allows endodontists to visualize and treat the intricate structures inside the tooth with exceptional precision. This enhances the success rates of root canal treatments and ensures thorough cleaning and shaping of the root canals.

  • Apical Microsurgery (Apicoectomy)

    In cases where traditional root canal therapy is insufficient, apical microsurgery becomes an advanced option. This surgical procedure involves the removal of the tooth's apex (root tip) and the surrounding infected tissue, followed by sealing the root canal from the apex to prevent further infection.

  • Regenerative Endodontics

    This innovative approach aims to replace damaged pulp tissue with healthy tissue, promoting the regeneration of dental pulp. Regenerative endodontics is particularly relevant for young patients with immature teeth and open apices, fostering the potential for continued root development.

  • Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT)

    Advanced imaging technologies like CBCT provide detailed 3D images of the tooth and surrounding structures. This aids endodontists in precise diagnosis and treatment planning, especially in complex cases involving multiple canals or unusual root anatomy.
