Root Canal Treatment
Due to decay or trauma, the vascular nerve bundle of the tooth, which we call the pulp, is affected and the tooth begins to lose its vitality. This condition, which is often accompanied by pain, can occur without any symptoms if it becomes chronic.
Bacteria that reach the pulp progress through the root canal of the tooth and create an infection focus at the root tip of the tooth in later stages. In later stages, they turn into a dental abscess, causing bone destruction around the root and threatening the surrounding tissues. Swelling in the face and fever are among the symptoms.
Pain Relief: Root canal treatment eliminates severe tooth pain caused by infection and inflammation.
Preservation of Natural Teeth: Thanks to root canal treatment, the natural tooth structure is preserved without the need for tooth extraction.
Prevents the Spread of Infection: An untreated tooth infection can spread to the jawbone and other teeth. Root canal treatment eliminates this risk.
Fonksiyonunu Geri Kazandırır: The tooth treated with root canal treatment regains its chewing and speaking functions.
Aesthetically Advantageous: The natural structure and appearance of the tooth are preserved, thus eliminating aesthetic concerns.
Types of Root Canal Treatment
The infected pulp is removed from the tooth with the help of special tools. The root canals are shaped according to the anatomy and disinfected. Then, they are filled in a leak-proof manner. This procedure, which is performed under local anesthesia, can be done in a single session thanks to developing technologies, or it may require several sessions depending on the condition of the tooth and the amount of infection. In particular, the use of rotary tools and laser applications have made root canal treatment easier and increased the success rate today. The development of new technologies is of great importance in terms of keeping the tooth in the mouth. If the treatment is delayed, tooth loss may occur.
Microscope Treatment
In dentistry, we can see the area 6 times, 15 times or even 40 times larger with a microscope. Meanwhile, the light source also allows the area to be seen more clearly.
Apical Resection
Apical root resection is a surgical procedure that involves removing a specific portion of the root tip and the infected tissue around the root of teeth that cannot be saved with root canal treatment alone.
Root Canal Retreatment
When root canal treatment fails, the first treatment to consider is not tooth extraction. Today, with the development of materials and equipment used in root canal treatment, treatment of teeth that have failed root canal treatment can be renewed, achieving success rates of up to 85%.
Endo Bleaching
For the whitening process that we will do during the day, it is essential that the root canal treatment is done well and completely seals the root of the tooth. After this, the dentist looks at the closure of your tooth with the lower tooth and determines whether there is a problem with this closure or whether there is a crack or fracture in your tooth. If there is any crack or fracture in the tooth, this situation can be corrected by taking protective measures in the tooth.
What is Root Canal Treatment?
Root canal treatment is a treatment method performed when the nerve and pulp tissue inside the tooth are inflamed or infected. This treatment is applied to save the tooth and preserve its natural structure by preventing the tooth from being extracted. Root canal treatment involves cleaning the infection inside the tooth, disinfecting it and then filling it with filling material.

Stages of Root Canal Treatment
Root canal treatment begins with the removal of the nerve tissue located inside the tooth. The root canals are then carefully cleaned and disinfected. After these stages, the canals are filled with a special filling material and the upper part of the tooth is covered with a crown or filling to increase the durability of the tooth. Root canal treatment is an extremely effective method of preserving the tooth and often allows the tooth to be used for a lifetime.
