Endodontics - Root canal treatment in Regensburg
For your safe and gentle root canal treatment in Regensburg, our experts Dr. Blank and Dr. Hieronymus M.Sc. use the most modern techniques and procedures as well as a surgical microscope..
Endodontics is the branch of dentistry that deals with the inner life of the teeth and the root canal system (especially in the case of inflammations of the pulp or the periodontium). Treatment of the root canals is always necessary when the pulp (the tooth nerve) has become inflamed or has already died.
The causes vary from deep carious defects to small cracks in the tooth enamel that allow bacteria to penetrate, thus triggering inflammation.
Numerous symptoms indicate root inflammation. These include:
Your root canal treatment aims to heal inflammation inside the tooth or at the tip of the root and requires the entire root canal system to be treated and carefully cleaned.
Treatment options and safety in the field of endodontics have been significantly increased by the introduction of mechanical root preparation. Root canals as well as the lengths of the roots are now measured electrometrically and then prepared with highly flexible nickel-titanium files.
We use only the latest techniques and equipment in endodontic procedures to maximise the success of the treatment. To avoid the need for a root canal treatment or even a dental prosthesis, you should regularly consult our prophylaxis department, which will advise you on professional tooth cleaning and optimal oral hygiene.
