Root canal treatment is performed in several stages, using advanced technology that ensures greater precision and comfort for the patient.
The procedure begins with a 3D CBCT scan, a three-dimensional scan that allows us to see the anatomy and the number of canals in the tooth being treated.
After administering local anesthesia to ensure the treatment is pain-free, the location of the nerve canals is identified, which have already been pinpointed in the 3D CBCT scan.
This step is crucial because, for example, molars may have three, four, or even five nerve canals. By locating them in advance from the images, much more of the tooth can be preserved.
Next, the damaged or infected pulp is removed from the tooth, and the root canals are cleaned to remove any remaining affected tissue.
Once cleaned, the canals are carefully sealed to prevent future infections. Finally, the visible part of the tooth is restored with a filling, inlay, or crown, depending on the needs of each case.
Thanks to the use of 3D scanners, magnification instruments, and digital X-rays, our team ensures a precise and effective procedure, allowing the patient to preserve their natural tooth.
