Description
When is root canal treatment of a premolar performed?
- In the case of deep caries reaching the pulp
- In the case of a crown fracture or cracked tooth
- In the case of pulp necrosis and inflammation of the periapical tissues
- As preparation for prosthetic treatment (e.g. crowns)
Stages of root canal treatment of teeth 4 and 5:
-
Diagnostics and X-rays/CBCT – accurate assessment of channels and inflammation
-
Local anesthesia – treatment is completely painless
-
Tooth insulation with a dental dam – for full sterility
-
Preparation of canals under a microscope – precise cleaning of the root system
-
Filling the canals with biocompatible material – usually gutta-percha and sealant
-
Tooth reconstruction – with a composite or (if necessary) an inlay and a crown
Why is it worth treating a premolar root canal?
- Keeping your own tooth for many years
- Inhibition of pain and inflammation
- Possibility of further prosthetic reconstruction
- Treatment completely comfortable and safe thanks to anesthesia and microscope
