Endodontic treatment involves opening the interior of the tooth under local anaesthetic.<\/p>\n<p>Bacteria and tissue fragments are then removed from the root canal system and its branches. Conventional methods usually reach only part of this system; a microscope can be used to identify lateral canals and calcified or atypically routed canal systems which can then be freed from bacteria and diseased tissue.<\/p>\n<p>The chambers are cleaned, expanded, disinfected and sealed with special filling material (gutta-percha).

What are the benefits of endodontic treatment?<\/b><br \/>\nThis treatment can save teeth that would otherwise have to be extracted. Teeth treated in this way can basically be regarded as healthy teeth with a few minor considerations.<\/p>\n<p><b>2. What alternatives are there to endodontic treatment?<\/b><br \/>\nThe only alternative is to extract the tooth altogether. However, this may in turn cause problems such as tooth migration, bone loss, changes in occlusal position, cosmetic problems or more complex prosthetic solutions.<\/p>\n<p><b>3. Are all teeth suitable for endodontic treatment?<\/b><br \/>\nA few cases are unsuitable for endodontic treatment &#8211; such as cases where there is no access to the root canal, where the root canal condition does not allow for thorough cleaning and filling, or a tooth is not considered salvageable owing to additional problems like periodontitis or extensive destruction or decay.<\/p>\n<p><b>4. Is endodontic treatment painful?<\/b><br \/>\nTreatment takes place under local anaesthetic and is typically completely pain-free.<\/p>\n<p><b>5. Does pain occur after treatment?<\/b><br \/>\nThe process of cleaning and filling the root canals may cause irritation in the surrounding tissue for one or two days after treatment, leading to sensitivity particularly in biting down. However, ordinary painkillers are generally sufficient to manage the pain.<\/p>\n<p><b>6. How many treatments are necessary?<\/b><br \/>\nIf the tooth is still alive at the time of treatment, one appointment is generally enough. However, two or three appointments may be needed depending on the extent of infection.<\/p>\n<p><b>7. How long does the treatment take?<\/b><br \/>\nThe first treatment generally takes one hour for a front tooth and around one and a half to two hours for side teeth. Further treatment sessions take around one hour.<\/p>\n<p><b>8. Are further appointments necessary after conclusion of the treatment?<\/b><br \/>\nAfter root canal treatment your dentist will generally seal the tooth with a full or partial crown. The tooth should be examined after around six months by us or by your own dentist.<\/p>\n<p><b>9. Does the tooth discolour after root canal treatment?<\/b><br \/>\nThis is no longer the case with modern treatment methods, since causes of discoloration (e.g. residual tissue) are completely removed under the microscop<\/p>\n<p><b>10. What does root canal treatment cost?<\/b><br \/>\nCosts of treatment depend on the number of canals in the tooth, on whether multiple treatments are necessary and whether the patient seeks initial treatment or retreatment. For more precise information, we advise patients to arrange a brief consultation or submit X-rays.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For more information see<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/de.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Wurzelkanalbehandlung\">http:\/\/de.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/ Wurzelkanalbehandlung<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n<\/div><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/main><!-- close content main element --><\/div><\/div><div id='after_section_1'  class='main_color av_default_container_wrap container_wrap sidebar_right'  ><div class='container av-section-cont-open' ><div class='template-page content  av-content-small alpha units'><div class='post-entry post-entry-type-page post-entry-340'><div class='entry-content-wrapper clearfix'>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":600,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-340","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/endo-mayer.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/340","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/endo-mayer.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/endo-mayer.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/endo-mayer.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/endo-mayer.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=340"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/endo-mayer.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/340\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":342,"href":"https:\/\/endo-mayer.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/340\/revisions\/342"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/endo-mayer.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=340"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
