Root Canal Treatment
Also known as "devitalization" it allows to preserve the tooth in case of damage to the dental pulp. There are several factors that can lead to the need for one devitalization; in the most common cases it is usually trauma, inflammation or tooth decay.
The tooth is hit deeply by abacterial infection and instead of removing it, we proceed to the root canal therapy, which allows you to deeply clean the infection by removing the damaged pulp from the canals present within the dental root. The number of these canals varies according to the treated tooth, from one for incisors, canines or premolars, up to three or more in the case of molars.
The treated area is finally sealed with the filling material, so as to prevent the onset of a new infection. The devitalized tooth is more "fragile" than the others, but if the treatment has been done properly, its "duration" is comparable to that of the other dental elements.
