Introduction
Endodontics is a key branch of therapeutic dentistry focused on treating the internal structure of the tooth — the pulp (nerve) — and maintaining the health of the root canals. The longevity of a tooth directly depends on the quality of endodontic treatment performed.
Thanks to modern advancements in endodontics, it is now possible to preserve even teeth that were once considered non-restorable and destined for extraction. Digital diagnostics, high-precision microtechnologies, and laser methods allow for painless, effective treatment with long-lasting results..
Aregak Dental Clinic is equipped with the latest-generation endodontic technology, ensuring thorough root canal cleaning, hermetic filling, and a high success rate.
What Is Endodontics and When Is Root Canal Treatment Necessary
Endodontics treats teeth affected by:
1. trauma and pulp damage;
2. deep caries leading to pulp inflammation;
3. purulent infections caused by previously missed, incomplete, or improperly performed endodontic treatment.
The goal is to preserve the tooth in its natural state,prevent the spread of infection, and restore function.
Main Causes and Symptoms of Pulp Inflammation
Causes:
The dental nerve becomes inflamed in the following cases:
•untreated deep caries;
•inflammatory gum diseases;
•exposed root surfaces caused by enamel loss;
•dental trauma;
•previously inadequate endodontic treatment.
Symptoms:
The most common signs of pulpitis include:
•sharp or throbbing pain;
•pain that intensifies at night;
•pain triggered by hot or cold foods;
•pressure sensation and swelling;
•pain radiating to the ear or temple.
These symptoms indicate active inflammation and require immediate treatment.
Advantages of Root Canal Treatment Over Tooth Extraction
Many people believe that extracting a painful tooth is the fastest solution. However, endodontic treatment offers significant benefits:
✔ preservation of the natural tooth (the best “implant”);
✔ maintenance of proper chewing function;
✔ reduced risk of future complications;
✔ the tooth can function for decades.
Extraction is considered only when the tooth cannot be preserved.
Risks and Contraindications of Surgical Intervention
Endodontic treatment is almost always conservative and does not require surgery..
Surgical intervention (apicoectomy) is needed only in cases of:
•inaccessible root canals;
•previously poorly treated teeth;
•extensive inflammatory lesions.
Contraindications may include:
•severe systemic diseases;
•irreversible tooth damage.
In such cases, an alternative treatment strategy is selected with the dentist.
Why Timely Treatment Is Crucial
Early treatment:
✔ prevents progression of inflammation;
✔ reduces pain;
✔ avoids purulent complications (periostitis, abscess, phlegmon);
✔ increases the likelihood of saving the tooth.
Pain is already a sign of active inflammation and should never be ignored.
Technologies Used in Root Canal Treatment
Modern endodontics involves complete root canal preparation and hermetic sealing. At Aregak Dental Clinic, we use:
1.Dental microscope — enables visualization of narrow, hidden, or additional canals and microcracks.
2.Nickel-titanium instruments —flexible, high-speed, and safe for efficient canal cleaning.
Advantages:
a) superior mechanical cleaning;
b) reduced risk of root damage;
c) shorter treatment time.
3. Ultrasonic activation of disinfecting solutions:
a)enhanced bacterial elimination;
b) cleaning of hard-to-reach areas;
c) increases the success rate of the treatment.
4.Laser endodontics —
destroys deep-seated bacteria, providing:
a) cleaner root canals;
b) reduced pain;
c) faster healing.
5. Apex locator — an endodontic device for precise determination of root canal length.
6.3D tomography — used for complex or previously failed cases:
a) identifies the true number of canals;
b) detects hidden inflammation;
c) assists in accurate treatment planning.
All of this allows us to confidently state that Aregak Dental Clinic is fully equipped to ensure healthy teeth and a beautiful smile.
How the Endodontic Treatment Method Is Selected
The choice of treatment depends on:
✔ the degree of inflammation;
✔ the depth of caries;
✔ tooth anatomy;
✔ radiographic findings.
At Aregak, every patient receives an individualized treatment planusing the most effective and minimally invasive techniques.
