The development of modern dentistry focuses on keeping the largest number of patients’ own teeth. Along with this trend, patients requirements are more oriented at teeth preservation than their removal or replacement with prosthetic works. Endodontics gives a chance to save a tooth which is infected with microbes and toxins produced by them.

Thanks to modern endodontics it is possible to save teeth which would normally have to be removed. The endodontic treatment is popularly called root canal treatment. Shortly speaking, the process of this treatment involves removal of infected or dead pulp (nerve) tissue, cleaning out the canal and filling it.

The newest trends in endodontics significantly extend the possibilities of curing difficult cases connected with dental pulp diseases. The use of mechanical and chemical treatment of root canals, endeavour to widen the full length of the canals and filling them tightly using the thermoplastic method- give a chance to keep a cured tooth for years.

To meet our patients’ needs we offer the latest equipment which allows a professional endodontic treatment. We use invaluable Leica microscopes for root canal treatment, by means of which we are able to locate numerous root canal orifices, which are invisible to the naked eye, and thanks to which it is possible to find the extra root canal. The microscope makes it possible to take a look inside the root canal and perform the right treatment.

The right root canal treatment involves using an endometre, a device for diagnosing and determining the length of root canals before they are filled. Moreover, in the root canal treatment nickel- titanic tools are used for mechanical root canal treatment (K3, Bio-RaCe). These tools combine low susceptibility to breaking with perfect cleaning of the root canal and shaping it before filling.

Filling the root canals tightly is mostly obtained by means of gutta percha, which involves filling a root canal with thermoplastic material. Thanks to its semi-fluid consistency the material is condensed so that it fills the canal tightly and prevents trapping of air bubbles. Furthermore, such filling protects the whole root system together with side canals, leaving no space for bacterial colonisation.
