Endodontics is a branch of science that deals with dental problems occurring in the periapical (around the root tip) tissue with the nerve, blood vessel and connective tissue located in the inner part of the tooth (root) and called pulp tissue. These procedures, which are performed within the scope of this discipline and have a wide range, are known as endodontic procedures.

Pulp tissue can be damaged and inflamed due to untreated deep caries, recurrent dental problems and severe impacts, and this tissue may lose its vitality if left untreated. While the pulp that has lost its vitality causes swelling by affecting the gum, it can leave people alone with very severe pain. Likewise, this pain can spread to the face, neck or head. Bone loss may occur in the area where the root of the tooth is located. One of the endodontics procedures is preferred to prevent such situations, to eliminate deformations and damages in the teeth, especially due to bacterial causes, and to bring functionality to the tooth.

  • Canal treatment,

Before Endodontics Procedure

The most important stage for the endodontics process is the first control phase, which is informed about the condition of the tooth root. Before starting the endodontics procedure, at this stage, the problematic tooth and the problem of this tooth are determined by radiography or impact, pulp test.

Bacteria are the main factor that cause pulp diseases, and the person’s endodontic dental application mostly depends on the density of bacteria in the pulp tissue and whether the tooth is exposed to trauma. This is determined through the examinations performed before the procedure.

In addition to these, there is no special procedure that patients should do before the application. Eating should stop only 1 hour before the operation and teeth should be cleaned.

Endodontics Procedure Process

Endodontics procedures are performed under local anesthesia. This is important so that the dentist can work comfortably and the patient feels good and does not show a reflex that will negatively affect the application during the procedure. How long the process will take varies depending on which application is performed and what method is preferred during this application.

Before starting the procedure, the oral cavity is disinfected. After that, during the endodontic treatment, the infected nerve tissue, damaged blood vessels and cellular wastes that adversely affect dental health are removed from the root canal, and tissues with a thread-like appearance are collected one by one. The root canal is then cleaned of harmful microorganisms with a disinfectant solution. This cleaning step must be completed with the utmost care so that the damage does not recur. The cavity that appears after the cleaning process is filled with a medical substance that provides high tissue compatibility and has a sealing feature. This material is often called gutta percha, it is a flexible, made of rubber and adapts perfectly to the filled area due to its ability to take shape.

After Endodontics Procedure

After the endodontics procedure, the applied tooth gains a similar function with other teeth in the mouth.

After endodontic procedures, sensitivity in the treated area and pain when pressed on the tooth can occur for a few days. If pain occurs, this can be easily controlled with painkillers.

The points that the patient should pay attention to at the end of the procedure are as follows:

  • Considering that foods and beverages containing sugar are metabolized by bacteria and extracts acid and this acid harms the tooth and tooth enamel, the patient should stay away from sugary foods and beverages after the procedure.
  • Food should not be eaten for a few hours after the endodontics application. However, hard foods that are difficult to chew after the procedure should not be preferred. This can damage the tooth and negatively affect the healing process. For this reason, foods that are easy to chew and have soft texture such as yoghurt, eggs and fish should be eaten.
  • Oral hygiene should be provided and dental hygiene should not be interrupted. This is important for the longevity of the result achieved with the endodontics procedure.

Apart from these, the recommendations given by the physician performing the application should be taken into consideration.
