Root Canal Treatment

Root canal treatment removes inflamed or infected pulp, the nerve and blood vessels inside a tooth, then cleans, disinfects and seals the canals within the roots. It is the way to keep a tooth that would otherwise have to be extracted.

It relieves pain and lets the bone around the root tip heal. Success is around 85 to 95 percent for a first treatment. Afterwards the tooth is more brittle, so back teeth usually need a crown or onlay, and heavily cracked or undermined teeth cannot be saved.

What Root Canal Treatment involves

After X-rays and tests confirm the diagnosis, the tooth is numbed and isolated with a rubber dam sheet, which keeps saliva out and protects your throat. A small opening is made through the biting surface. The dentist locates each canal, often with a microscope, measures its length with an electronic apex locator and shapes it with fine flexible nickel-titanium files. The canals are flushed repeatedly with sodium hypochlorite disinfectant. If infection is heavy, a calcium hydroxide dressing is left for 1 to 2 weeks. The canals are then filled with gutta-percha and sealer, an X-ray checks the fill, and the opening is closed with a core filling ready for the final restoration.

Who is a good candidate for Root Canal Treatment?

It is needed when the pulp is irreversibly inflamed or dead and the tooth is worth keeping.

• Lingering pain to hot or cold, or spontaneous throbbing toothache
• A tooth that has died and darkened after an injury
• An abscess or gum boil linked to a restorable tooth
• A deep cavity or crack that has reached the nerve
• A tooth that must be devitalised as part of planned crown or bridge work

Es ist normalerweise nicht die richtige Wahl, wenn:

• A tooth split vertically through the root
• Too little sound tooth left to hold a restoration
• Advanced gum disease with severe bone loss around the tooth
• Sensitivity that settles within seconds, which often needs only a filling
• Unopposed or non-functional wisdom teeth, where extraction is simpler

Technikoptionen

• Single-visit treatment: Appropriate for most vital teeth and many infected ones when time and anatomy allow.
• Two-visit treatment with dressing: Chosen for swelling, persistent discharge or complex infection.
• Microscope-assisted endodontics: Helps find extra canals in molars and manage calcified canals.
• Retreatment: Removes an old failed root filling and cleans again; success is somewhat lower.
• Apicectomy: Minor surgery to remove the root tip when retreatment through the crown is not possible.

Was passiert während Ihrer Behandlung

A front tooth takes 30 to 60 minutes and a molar 60 to 120 minutes. It is done under local anaesthetic and should feel like a long filling. A very inflamed lower molar can be hard to numb, in which case extra anaesthetic techniques are used. Your jaw may tire from staying open.

Vorbereitung auf Ihre Reise

One or two appointments a few days apart, then the crown or onlay, which adds about 5 to 7 days if laboratory made. It combines well with other dental work in a one-week stay. If you have facial swelling, get it drained and controlled locally before you fly.

• Informieren Sie den Arzt über Medikamente, Allergien, Schwangerschaft oder Stillen und eine Vorgeschichte von Fieberbläschen, Keloidnarben oder Autoimmunerkrankungen
• Vermeiden Sie Alkohol, Aspirin und entzündungshemmende Schmerzmittel für ein paar Tage im Voraus, wenn Ihr eigener Arzt zustimmt, um Blutergüsse zu reduzieren
• Kommen Sie ohne Make-up auf dem Behandlungsbereich an und vermeiden Sie zwei Wochen vorher Sonnenliegen und starke Sonne

Genesung und Ergebnisse

Tenderness on biting for 2 to 7 days is normal and responds to ibuprofen or paracetamol. Avoid chewing hard food on the tooth until the permanent restoration is in place, and do not delay that restoration beyond a few weeks, since leakage and fracture are the main reasons treated teeth fail. An X-ray at 6 to 12 months confirms bone healing.

• Zurück zur alltäglichen Aktivität: Keine
• When results show: Pain eases in days; bone heals over 6 to 12 months
• How long they last: Often decades with a good restoration

Sicherheit, Risiken und Revisionspolitik

Most treatments are uneventful; problems arise mainly from difficult anatomy and delayed restoration.

• Flare-up of pain or swelling in the first days
• Missed or blocked canal leading to persistent infection
• Instrument fracture inside a canal
• Perforation of the root wall
• Tooth fracture, especially if a molar is not crowned
• Discolouration of a front tooth
• Irrigant or filling material passing beyond the root tip, rarely causing nerve irritation

Cost of Root Canal Treatment in Türkiye

Clinic-Y does not publish a single price for Root Canal Treatment, because the honest figure depends on your case. What moves it:

• Which tooth: molars have three or four canals, front teeth usually one
• First treatment or retreatment
• Use of a microscope and a specialist endodontist
• The post, core and crown needed afterwards
