What is therapeutic dentistry?
Therapeutic dentistry - involves the treatment of caries and its complications - pulpitis and periodontitis. Treatment of pulpitis and periodontitis often involves root canal treatment. Root canal treatment is also called endodontic treatment.
The goal of therapeutic dentistry is to diagnose and treat various tooth tissue damage. Lesions can be caused by both caries and non-caries process or trauma. Their restoration is carried out by means of bzhen (restoration) taking into account the anatomy and functional load of each tooth.
Therapeutic treatment includes:
teeth whitening
Artistic restoration
Professional cleaning
Endodontics
Fight against cavities
We should single out endodontics, which includes the diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the root canals of teeth. Endodontic treatment of the tooth should be performed when there is damage to the soft tissue, pulp, inflammatory or infectious nature of the tooth. The reason for this may be: deep caries of the tooth crown, tooth crack or fracture. In some cases, pulpal damage can develop without visible damage to the crown of the tooth.
Inflammation of the pulp or an infectious lesion, if left untreated, causes pain and eventually the formation of an abscess.
Today, endodontics is one of the most dynamically developing fields of dentistry, and root canal treatment in our clinic is performed by endodontists who possess the skills and technologies adapted to modern standards in this field. After the endodontic treatment, it is recommended to avoid active chewing in the area of the mentioned tooth until the crown of the tooth is completely restored. Without a full-fledged crown restoration, the probability of developing a tooth crown fracture is high.
With us, endodontic treatment is carried out using modern techniques and anesthetics, which is why the procedure is comfortable and painless for the patient.
