Endodontic treatments in Santiago de Compostela

Endondontics professionals

What is Endodontics?

All caries or any other bacterial process can reach the nerve inside the tooth. When that happens, an irreversible process with pulpal necrosis is produced, which can lead to a cyst or even a large boil with a fistula which emerges to drain that purulent content.

This process can produce a lot of pain and the only treatment is endodontics, which consists on cleaning and hermetically sealing the ducts so that the bacteria cannot reproduce again. This is a microsurgery treatment for which, at Bahillo Dental Polyclinic, we have all the technological advances that allow us to obtain the best results.

Symptoms that indicate the need for an endodontic

  • Pain to cold and hot stimuli in a carious tooth.
  • Spontaneous pain without stimuli or at night.
  • Tooth that is discolored or darkened.

Endodontic treatments are performed when a patient has a cavity in a tooth that has progressed too much over time and has finally affected the nerve.

There are many times when the patient does not feel that they are suffering from this type of cavity since it does not cause them pain. That is why it is essential to visit your trusted dental clinic on a regular basis to resolve the problem quickly.

Factors of pulp inflammation

Loss of dental tissue

Cavities are the most common cause. It can also be caused by wear and tear on other teeth, known as bruxism.

Restorative treatments

Very deep fillings that are close to the nerve or carved to make crowns or bridges.

Traumatism

There may be initial inflammation followed by healing or chronic inflammation resulting from nerve death.

Which equipment do we use?

In Bahillo Dental Polyclinic we have the best technology to successfully perform all treatments. Among them we can highlight:

  • Operating microscope
  • Apex electronic locators
  • Radiovisiography
  • Nickel titanium rotary instruments
  • Sonic and ultrasonic systems for irrigation
  • Thermoplastic seals

When the orthograde treatment on the pulp is not enough, on top of the endodontics, it will be necessary to perform an endodontic surgery, which in our clinic is performed by a oral surgeon who is also a doctor-dentist, thus guaranteeing the best possible treatment.
