As cavities on the tooth surface deepen, harmful bacteria reach the tooth’s living tissue, known as the nerve and blood vessel bundle, causing inflammation along this bundle.
In patients with advanced gum disease, infections originating from the root area can also affect the nerve and blood vessel bundle in a secondary manner, leading to inflammation along the bundle.
Additionally, if the nerve and blood vessel bundle is damaged due to trauma, a condition called necrosis, which is the loss of vitality in the tooth, can occur.
In all these cases, where the nerve and blood vessel bundle is affected, root canal treatment is the preferred solution.
The success rate of root canal treatments has significantly increased with the use of modern rotary endodontic instruments. For a successful root canal treatment, rotary endodontic systems used by an experienced dentist are the top choice.
In the past, instruments for root canal treatment were limited to hand tools, which provided restricted capabilities for the desired canal shaping and cleaning.
With advancements in technology, rotary endodontic systems and endomotors have significantly improved the success of root canal treatments. These systems offer numerous advantages, including:
Enhanced cleaning and shaping of root canals, Improved ability to irrigate and disinfect the canals thoroughly, Greater removal of affected tissue, Reduced treatment time, increasing patient comfort.
In our clinic, all root canal treatments are performed using rotary endodontic instruments to ensure optimal results and patient satisfaction.
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia and aims to remove tissue debris and bacterial toxins from the affected nerve canals. Next, the nerve spaces are shaped using specialized rotary instrument systems, and the canals are filled with biocompatible material.
Afterward, restoration options such as fillings, onlays, inlays, or crowns are evaluated based on the amount of material loss in the tooth.
The treatment may be completed in a single session or, depending on the condition of the tooth, may require multiple sessions as determined by the dentist.
