What is Endodontics?

Endodontics, also known as devitalization, is a procedure that aims to remove the dental pulp (soft tissue that contains nerves and blood vessels) when it is inflamed or infected. This inflammation or infection can be caused by deep caries, trauma or tooth fractures. After removing the pulp, the root canal is cleaned, disinfected and filled with a filling material, sealing the tooth and preventing future infections.

When is Endodontics Necessary?

Endodontics is indicated when the dental pulp is inflamed or infected, causing severe pain, prolonged sensitivity to heat or cold, swelling of the gums, a dental abscess or darkening of the tooth. In these cases, root canalization is the only way to save the tooth and avoid extraction.

Advantages of Endodontics

  • Pain relief: Endodontics eliminates the pain caused by inflammation or infection of the dental pulp, providing immediate relief and improving your quality of life.
  • Preservation of the natural tooth: Devitalization allows you to save your natural tooth, avoiding the need for extraction and the placement of prostheses or implants.
  • Minimally invasive treatment: We use modern techniques and state-of-the-art equipment to carry out devitalization quickly, efficiently and with minimal discomfort for the patient.
  • High success rates: Endodontics has high success rates, allowing the treated tooth to last for many years with proper care.
  • Prevention of complications: Devitalization prevents the infection from spreading to other areas of the mouth, preventing complications such as abscesses and bone infections.

FAQ - Endodontics

Is endodontics painful?
Endodontics is performed under local anaesthetic, ensuring that you don't feel any pain during the procedure. After treatment, there may be some discomfort, which can be controlled with painkillers.
How long does a devitalisation last?
Treatment time varies according to the complexity of the case and the number of canals to be treated. On average, a root canal treatment can be carried out in one or two sessions.
Is the tooth more fragile after devitalisation?
The treated tooth may become a little more fragile, so it is recommended that a dental crown restoration be carried out to protect the tooth and ensure its durability.
What care is needed after devitalisation?
It's important to maintain good oral hygiene, brushing and flossing your teeth regularly, and to make maintenance appointments with your dentist to ensure the health of the treated tooth.
Can devitalisation fail?
In some cases, root canal treatment can fail, especially if the infection is very extensive or if there is reinfection of the canal. In these cases, retreatment or, as a last resort, extraction of the tooth may be necessary.
What are the signs that I need a devitalisation?
The main signs that you may need a root canal are: intense and persistent pain, prolonged sensitivity to heat or cold, swelling of the gums, a tooth abscess or darkening of the tooth. If you experience any of these symptoms, see a dentist as soon as possible.
Is endodontics expensive?
The cost of root canal treatment varies according to the complexity of the case and the number of canals to be treated. However, endodontics is an investment in your oral health, as it allows you to save your natural tooth and avoid the need for more complex and expensive treatments, such as dental implants.
