Endodontics in Geneva

What is endodontics?

Endodontics is the science of inflammations and infections of the tooth canal system under the microscope following deep decay, trauma or prosthetic reasons. Your practitioner will have to shape the canals of the tooth to optimize its disinfection. It has even become common to perform a root treatment to heal a bone lesion before implant placement, in order to avoid a possible bone graft.

“ENDODONTICS HAS BECOME A FIELD OF STUDY IN ITS OWN RIGHT. WORKING WITH A MICROSCOPE AND MASTERY OF 3D IMAGING REQUIRE SPECIFIC TRAINING. LET’S NOT FORGET THAT AS RECENTLY AS 15 YEARS AGO ROOT CANAL TREATMENT HAD A FAILURE RATE OF 75% DUE TO LACK OF TECHNOLOGICAL RESOURCES AND SPECIALISTS.”

1. INFECTED TOOTH

2. Opening made in the tooth

3. Infected tissue removed, canal cleaned and treated using a laser

4. Opening sealed by filling

The laser is a particularly effective device to facilitate this step. The channels are then filled with a paste that will prevent any bacterial penetration and thus promote the healing of the apical zone of your roots.

The goal is to keep your tooth, even deprived of its vitality on the arcade, without pain.

Pre-medicating the patient is essential to the smooth running of the treatment. Postoperative effects will be reduced, and patient comfort improved.
The use of a surgical microscope, which can magnify the inside of the tooth 20 times, is invaluable in this type of treatment.

Root canal treatment without the use of a microscope will always lack precision
