Endodontic materials for root canal treatment

In this category, we have collected tools, materials and instruments for endodontics (root canal treatment) for dentists.

When is root canal treatment necessary?

If caries is already so advanced that conservative treatment or filling is no longer possible, or the pulp is already inflamed or dead, root canal treatment becomes necessary.

What is root canal treatment for?

The goal of endodontic treatment is to preserve the natural tooth. This procedure, which is currently painless, is performed under local anesthesia and allows the preservation of the affected tooth.

How is root canal treatment performed on a tooth?

As part of endodontic treatment, the dentist mechanically develops a special root canal file, cleans it, removes damaged tissue, then rinses it a solution with antibacterial properties. . Development or root canal treatment of the tooth to be treated should be carried out up to the root tip to eliminate inflammation and obtain the best root treatment results. Paper sippings they are then used to dry the canal or install a healing insert. ISO paper filters are particularly absorbent and dry the root canal of blood, saliva and secretions.

In order to supplement endodontic treatment in dentistry, it is performed root filling and canal filling to top. Good biocompatibility and good sealing against moisture make gutta-percha it is a proven material in dentistry. This allows gutta-percha to also be used to temporarily close the defect or screws of the implant.

The gutta-percha needed for the procedure is injected together with the root filling placed in the cleaned and dried tooth root canal along with the root apex. It is then checked by X-ray whether the filling and filling material have been completed up to the apex and whether the tooth is completely sealed. If the chronic inflammatory process around the root apex is already well advanced and root canal treatment with filling no longer guarantees tooth preservation, surgical resection of the root apex is performed. Resection of the root apex is also performed under local anesthesia.
