Endodontics is the branch of dentistry that deals with the study of the morphology, function, health, injuries and alterations of the dental pulp and the periodontal region, as well as its treatment.
Endodontic treatments seek to preserve the health and integrity of the tooth and supporting tissues. Their purpose is to maintain the natural dentition, the bone and the gum that surrounds it, as well as its functionality. They help to preserve a natural smile, eat comfortably and thus prolong a natural teething. This treatment is necessary when the dental pulp becomes inflamed or infected. This can occur from several causes: deep cavities, trauma or fractures in the tooth and other diseases that can affect the tooth.
Root canal treatments encompass two stages. The first consists of the preparation and disinfection of the ducts and the second in sealing them with a biocompatible material.
Thanks to technological advances, excellent results are achieved in this field. With the help of a 3D image such as tomography, periapical radiographs and a microscope we can make a correct diagnosis, carrying out a predictable treatment.
