Brand new smart technology in Endodontics

12.06.2023

Endodontics is a specialized branch of dentistry that focuses on the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of diseases and injuries affecting the pulp and surrounding tissues. Dental pulp is the soft tissue inside the tooth that contains nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissue.

Endodontics is a rapidly developing field and primarily involves root canal therapy. This procedure involves removing the infected or damaged tooth pulp from the tooth, cleaning and disinfecting the root canals, and then filling and sealing them to prevent further infection. Endodontists also perform operations such as apicoectomy (removal of the tip of the root of a tooth) and treat many types of dental trauma.

In our clinic, the latest smart technology of root canal therapy, COXO brand, was introduced, which allows the doctor to process the root canal with even more precision, quickly and painlessly.

When it comes to news in the field of endodontics, here are some noteworthy developments:

Regenerative endodontics: Researchers are working on regenerative techniques to stimulate the growth of new dental pulp and promote healing of damaged tissues. This could potentially provide an alternative to traditional root canal therapy.

Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT): CBCT imaging is becoming an increasingly valuable tool in endodontics. It provides detailed 3D images of teeth and surrounding structures, helping to diagnose and plan appropriate treatment.

Bioceramic Materials: Bioceramic sealers and root canal filling materials have become popular in recent years. These materials have superior sealing (root canal closure) properties, antimicrobial effects and biocompatibility, leading to improved results and long-term success.

Precise and Minimally Invasive Techniques: Technological advances, such as magnifying devices and ultrasound instruments, have allowed us to perform more precise and minimally invasive endodontic procedures. In this regard, our team is actively informed about the latest innovations and implements modern techniques in every procedure.

Microbial testing and treatment: The understanding of the role of bacteria in endodontic infections has advanced significantly. Microbial testing techniques help identify specific bacteria associated with persistent infections and help develop targeted treatments.

It is important to note that the field of endodontics is constantly evolving, with ongoing research and advances aimed at further improving treatment outcomes, patient comfort, and endodontic procedures.
