Endodontics procedure at TreeDent
X-ray or Orthopan
-
Orthopan and X-ray are used to accurately determine the area affected by inflammation and define the treatment therapy and the steps themselves.
Often our patients do not have pain in the problem region. This does not mean that the tooth is not under an inflammatory process and that there is a risk of later activation of the inflamed region.

-
Advantages: TreeDent has the GreeCT - 2D Ortopan device, which has been declared the device with the lowest radiation doses in the entire area of Northern Croatia.

Vitality test
-
If necessary, a vitality test is also used to determine the vitality of the teeth to warm and cold stimuli. In this way, the dentist knows whether the area of inflammation can be anesthetized.
If it is inflammation of the dental pulp or pulpitis, the dentist will treat the tooth differently in that case. The goal of such an approach is faster and complete diagnosis of the inflamed area.
-
Advantages: With this procedure, we are sure that we will not treat the tooth incorrectly. The goal is to take actions in a timely manner to make the treatment as short as possible for the patient.
Determination of the number of channels and access points
-
Before the procedure, the doctor determines the positions of the opening of the teeth. According to the access calculations and the X-ray image, the grinding points for opening the channel are determined.
In this way, the entrance to the tooth is positioned exactly above the root canals and it is easy for the dentist to access all canals.
-
Advantages: This procedure guides the dentist to make the subsequent steps more precise and reliable
Installation of cofferdams
-
A rubber dam is a small plastic sheet, which is placed around the tooth before the procedure begins. The rubber dam serves us to make the endodontic procedure itself as sterile as possible.
With this protection, the dentist prevents contamination of the root canal with saliva or blood. If this is not done, we risk subsequent inflammation and infection of the tooth and unsuccessful treatment.
-
Advantages: Ensures a high level of hygiene and sterility of the procedure. We recommend everyone to insist on this protection during endodontic procedures in dental offices
Opening teeth
-
Local anesthesia for this kind of procedure in the TreeDent dental office is self-explanatory.
Depending on the dental region, the doctor will apply a different type of anesthesia. The teeth are opened according to the predetermined drilling points established in the previous step.
-
Advantages: The dental canal is opened exactly in the correct projection of the tip of the root so that the dental pulp is in a vertical plane to the drilling direction.
This increases the quality of the later insertion of the needle, while in the traditional way that part is done by heart and without an X-ray image.
Machine endodontics
-
At TreeDent, dental canal cleaning is faster, more reliable and more precise using the Reciproc Gold endodontic device. An endometer that measures the length of the root canal is built into the machine endodontic device. In this way the dentist gets an insight into the length of the root canal so that it does not break through and thus irreversibly damage the tooth.
-
Advantages: Mechanical endodontics gives the dentist the opportunity to clean the root canal faster, more reliably and more precisely. It also gives him the ability to fill it to its full length without the risk of breaking through the root of the tooth.
Root canal filling
-
After all the canals have been cleaned and sterile conditions have been ensured, the filling of the root canals can begin. After the tooth is filled, a composite filling or crown is placed at the end. With a filling or crown, the dentist will cover the entrance to the tooth and return it to function.
Control X-ray image
-
After filling the canal, a control X-ray is taken to check whether all the canals are cleaned and filled to the full length of the canal.
-
Advantages:with this step, we ensure that the previous steps have been done flawlessly and that the finishing touches can be started.
Save up to HRK 7,000 per tooth!
Inflammatory processes above the root canal are often irreversible. At the moment, if the inflammation spreads and is not repaired in time, it is inevitable that the tooth must be extracted.
If the inflammatory process has destroyed the bone above the tooth, the area at the site of the extracted tooth needs to be additionally augmented with artificial bone. With augmentation after extraction, we prevent further bone decay and create a base for implant placement.
