How is root canal treatment performed?

How is pulpitis treated?

Treatment can be conservative or surgical. Conservative treatment of pulpitis is rarely used when the inflammatory process has not gone too far and the pulp can be preserved. The surgical method is tooth depulpation and root canal filling, which is carried out in one or two visits.

The stages of pulpitis treatment are as follows:

• creating access to channels;
• extraction of pulp using special tools - pulp extractors and files;
• mechanical treatment of canals - the quality of filling and the success of pulpitis treatment in general depend on how competently this stage is completed;
• drug treatment of canals;
• filling – its purpose is to isolate periodontal tissues from possible penetration of microbes from the apical opening of the root.

Treatment of pulpitis of a 3-channel tooth

Treatment of pulpitis of a 3-channel tooth

Advanced caries will inevitably lead to a complication - pulpitis, when the infection affects not only the enamel and dentin, but also the pulp - connective tissue with many microvessels and nerve endings. Unlike simple caries, treatment of pulpitis is not only more complex and time-consuming, but also expensive. The final price largely depends on the number of canals that need to be processed and sealed. Quite often, doctors at the Orthodont City dental center treat pulpitis of a 3-channel tooth. This number of canals is typical for teeth in the chewing section of the jaw, where the risk of caries is highest. How many root canals do our teeth have? Each human tooth has on average one to four root canals. For example, incisors and canines usually have only one root canal, premolars have one or two, and molars have three or four. At the same time, the number of channels is a purely individual thing. There have been cases where the front teeth had three root canals, and the chewing teeth had one. Wisdom teeth can even have up to 5 root canals, which significantly complicates the process of their treatment. Most often, pulpitis is diagnosed on chewing teeth, since in the lateral part of the jaw it is more difficult to carry out hygiene and detect early caries. To carry out effective treatment, in most cases the nerve (the root part of the pulp) is removed. Traditional treatment of three-channel pulpitis Traditional treatment of pulpitis is carried out in the vast majority of cases and involves complete removal of the pulp. Do not be afraid of this procedure: despite the fact that a tooth without pulp is considered dead, it still retains its aesthetics and functionality. Stages of treatment for three-channel pulpitis: consultation - examination of the oral cavity and X-ray examination; anesthesia; drilling out carious tissues and preparing the tooth cavity; expansion of root canals and determination of their length using a special device; mechanical pulp removal. During the first visit, calcium paste is introduced into the canal cavity to sterilize the canals; During the second visit, the canals are filled and a seal is installed. With pulpitis, significant tooth destruction usually occurs, so it is recommended to install an inlay and a crown, since the filling will not cope with the chewing load. The price of treatment of pulpitis of a 3-canal tooth in the Orthodont City clinic. The price of treatment of pulpitis of a 3-canal tooth in Orthodont City varies and depends on the number of canals in the tooth. Our clinic employs doctors of the highest category, and advanced equipment is used for therapeutic and endodontic treatment, which minimizes the risk of any complications.

What happens if pulpitis is not treated?

If tooth pulpitis is not cured, there is a high probability of developing a complication such as periodontitis. In addition, the spread of infection through the blood vessels often provokes chronic diseases of internal organs, up to their failure due to constant poisoning of the body with harmful decay products.

Other complications of pulpitis are:

• periostitis (flux) – inflammatory process in the periosteum;
• phlegmon - caused by the outflow of exudate into the soft tissues of the face, sometimes phlegmon causes death;
• osteomyelitis – purulent inflammation of the bone marrow;
• abscess - abscess, precursor of phlegmon;
• sepsis is a very dangerous complication of pulpitis, a serious infectious disease with blood poisoning.

Therefore, pulpitis must be treated.

What are the quality criteria for treating pulpitis?

When treatment of pulpitis is carried out correctly, this is confirmed by the absence of any complaints from the patient and x-ray evidence of the quality of filling the tooth canals.

You can also highlight several criteria for the quality of a doctor’s work:

• the use of a radiovisiograph (accurate diagnosis and quality control of treatment is impossible without an X-ray examination);
• the use of modern materials for filling canals and filling the crown of the tooth;
• availability of high-quality tools made of nickel-titanium alloy;
• use of an apex locator to determine the length of root canals.

Treatment options

To treat dental pulpitis in the Russian Federation, various methods are used, which are divided depending on the treatment methods and the material used to fill the root canal of the tooth.

There is also a biological method for treating pulpitis, but its success rate, according to modern researchers, is no more than 5%. As a rule, after a biological method of treating pulpitis (without depulping the tooth), after 6-8 months the patient returns with complaints of pain in the tooth, and the nerve has to be removed.

The list of root canal treatment methods includes:

• resorcinol-formalin method (banned in European countries and the USA, but used in the Russian Federation because of its low cost);
• processing of canals using hand instruments (recognized as ineffective in European countries and the USA, but is used in the Russian Federation even in private dental clinics);
• machine treatment of root canals (an internationally recognized standard in the treatment of pulpitis, which gives the best and most stable results).

Carrying out manipulations for high-quality root canal treatment requires good equipment in the dental clinic. Most of the devices are produced in Europe and have no analogues in the Russian Federation.

The dental clinic "Bionic Dentis" is equipped with the latest technology and is equipped with all the necessary devices for the treatment of dental pulpitis at the highest level.

In our practice we use:

1. Computer system for machine treatment of root canals VDW GOLD (Germany).
2. Tool system - M2 (Germany).
3. Ultrasonic system SIROSONIC SIEMENS for cleaning and disinfection of root canals.
4. Apex location system VDW GOLD (Germany).
5. Laser installation SIROLASER SIEMENS
6. VDW BEEFILE 3D canal filling system (Germany).

Stages of the laser treatment method for dental pulpitis

The technique used in clinical practice is particularly complex. To implement it, specialized dental equipment is required. This method shows the absence of complications in the form of granuloma or cyst in 99% of cases of granuloma treatment.

The application of the methodology in practice is carried out in several stages:

• First, the tissue destroyed by the carious process is drilled out on a pulpit tooth. This is necessary so that the specialist can reach the nerve in the root canals in the center of the tooth - its pulp.
• Once the nerve has been accessed, the dentist removes the nerve from the root canal. There may be pus in the root canal, then it is washed out with special preparations.
• The next step is to widen and clean the root canal. For this purpose, our clinic’s dentists use a special device, which is a computer-based root canal cleaning system. With the help of special titanium instruments, translational movements - files carefully controlled by microprocessors - clean the root canal. This gives it not only purity, but also evenness. Colonies of microorganisms that cause inflammation are removed from the canal walls.
• Constant monitoring of canal cleaning is performed using a WDV apex locator (Germany). The main stages of therapy are monitored using a XIOS SIRONA SIEMENS radiovisiograph. Such equipment is available in every office of our clinic. Therefore, the treatment process occurs continuously.
• After mechanical cleaning of the root canal with files, ultrasonic cleaning begins. To do this, a medicinal preparation containing an antiseptic is introduced into the canal and it is activated using an ultrasonic unit SYROSONIC SIEMENS (Germany). Ultrasonic waves create a cavitation effect, as a result of which the disinfectant penetrates into the deep layers and cleanses the microcanal system of the tooth root.

Complete cleansing and cleaning of the root canal requires some time. Usually it is 1-1.5 hours.
