Root Canal Treatment

Root Canal Treatment

What is it?

Root canal treatment, also known as endodontic therapy, is performed when infection or inflammation reaches the inside of the tooth – the nerve (pulp chamber). In such cases, a regular filling is no longer effective – the damaged tissue must be removed, and the tooth canals must be cleaned and sealed hermetically.

The goal of the procedure is to save the tooth, stop the spread of infection, and protect the surrounding tissues from inflammation.

At Lyso – Dentapolis clinic, root canal treatment is performed using modern technologies that ensure precise canal cleaning and long-lasting sealing.
In more complex cases, a dental microscope is used – it allows for exceptional precision when working with narrow or complex canal structures.

Thanks to modern techniques, the treatment is completely safe and painless, and a preserved tooth can serve for many years.

When is Root Canal Treatment Needed?

When Is It Needed?

Root canal (endodontic) treatment is necessary when an inflammatory process starts inside the tooth and infection reaches the pulp.

This most often happens due to untreated decay or deep damage to the tooth.

Main signs that you may need root canal treatment:

Even if the symptoms seem mild or temporary, it may be the beginning of inflammation. By visiting Lyso – Dentapolis specialists in time, the tooth can usually be saved and more complex procedures avoided.

The Importance of Early Treatment

Why Is It Important?

Untreated root inflammation can cause serious complications.
The infection may spread from the tooth to the surrounding tissues, damage the jawbone, or even trigger a systemic inflammatory response in the body.

Sometimes inflammation progresses without obvious symptoms, but the tissues continue to deteriorate – that’s why it’s essential to visit a dentist as soon as the first signs appear.

The main cause of root canal inflammation is untreated tooth decay.
When infection reaches the root, the tooth becomes sensitive or painful.
To prevent root inflammation and reduce the risk of complications, regular oral hygieneand timely caries (therapeutic) treatment are recommended.

At Lyso – Dentapolis, treatment is performed with precision and modern techniques ensuring maximum comfort and safety.
In more complex cases, microscope-assisted endodontic treatment is used – it allows thorough canal cleaning and helps preserve damaged teeth.

Modern Endodontics

Microscope-Assisteds Root Canal Treatment

In certain cases, when tooth canals are extremely narrow or difficult to access, a dental microscope is used.
It magnifies the view up to several dozen times, allowing the dentist to clearly see the entire canal structure and ensure meticulous cleaning and precise sealing.

This method significantly increases the success rate of the treatment and allows saving teeth that previously would have required extraction.
In addition, due to its accuracy, the procedure becomes shorter, painless, and completely safe.

At Lyso – Dentapolis, root canal treatments are performed using advanced microscopic endodontic equipment, high-quality filling materials, and modern disinfection systems – ensuring long-term, reliable results.

Stages of Root Canal Treatment

Treatment Process

The process of root canal (endodontic) treatment depends on the condition of the tooth and the extent of infection, but it usually consists of several main steps:

Step 1

Diagnosis and Anaesthesia

An X-ray is taken to precisely determine the extent of inflammation. Then local anaesthesia is applied – the entire treatment is completely painless.

Step 2

Removal of Infected Pulp

The infected tissue is removed, and the root canals are cleaned. In more complex cases, a dental microscope may be used – it allows the dentist to see the canals more clearly and ensure thorough cleaning.

Step 3

Disinfection and Filling of the Canals

The canals are disinfected with special antibacterial solutions and hermetically filled with biocompatible materials, preventing the infection from recurring.

Step 4

Tooth Restoration

After treatment, the tooth is restored either with a filling or a crown if the damage was extensive. This restores not only the tooth’s function but also its aesthetic appearance.

At Lyso – Dentapolis clinic, root canal treatments are performed precisely and gently, ensuring patient comfort.
In more complex cases, our dentists use microscopic endodontic equipment for maximum accuracy and to avoid the need for retreatment.

The total treatment cost depends on the condition and complexity of the tooth and canals – the exact price is determined during consultation.

Results

Before and After

The results of root canal treatment are best seen in X-ray images – they show how the infection is removed and the root canals are sealed tightly all the way to the tip.

Modern technology allows for high precision, ensuring that all inflammation is completely eliminated and the tooth is preserved for many years.

Frequently Asked Questions

We’ve gathered the most common patient questions and answers to help you better prepare for the procedure.

No. The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia, so it is completely painless.
After the treatment, slight sensitivity may occur, but it usually goes away quickly.

A single tooth treatment usually takes between 30 and 90 minutes, depending on the number and complexity of the canals.
In some cases, a second visit may be required.

A microscope allows the dentist to clearly see the entire canal structure, reach the smallest side canals, and clean them thoroughly.
This significantly increases the success rate and helps preserve the tooth for a long time.

To some extent, yes – since the nerve inside the tooth is removed.
That’s why it’s often recommended to strengthen the tooth with a filling or a dental crown to restore durability and protection.

roperly filled and restored teeth can last for many years.
Maintaining good oral hygiene and attending regular check-ups are essential for long-term success.

Contact your dentist immediately.
Sometimes, an additional examination or retreatment may be required if the infection was deep or persistent.

The price depends on the number of roots, case complexity, and the type of restorative material used.
