Pulpitis treatment in Ivano-Frankivsk

To determine whether a patient has pulpitis, the dentist performs an X-ray of the area containing the painful tooth, along with diagnostic tests to see how your tooth reacts. Masych Clinic offers initial root canal treatment to prevent the development of periodontitis.

If pulpitis is left untreated, the condition can progress to periodontitis, causing inflammation in the bone and potentially resulting in tooth loss. To prevent such complications, it is essential to visit a dentist regularly for preventive care, as periodontitis can sometimes be asymptomatic.

If you have been diagnosed with any of these conditions, root canal treatment is essential. Masych dental clinic warmly invites you to take advantage of our endodontic services in Ivano-Frankivsk.

Advantages of initial root canal treatment at Masych Clinic

  1. At Masych Clinic, every root canal procedure is performed under a dental microscope. Using a dental microscope is essential for root canal treatment. With magnification, the dentist can thoroughly treat the canals and save your tooth. В At Masych Clinic, all treatments are performed under a microscope, including endodontic therapy. The microscope allows the dentist to clearly see the entrances to all root canals, as well as canal branches, which are common. Canals are often curved and may have side branches along their length. Some details are too small to see without a microscope. Using magnification helps the dentist carefully prepare and clean the root canals.
  1. Isolation of the working field: rubber dam. For high-quality treatment, medicamentation of the canal is necessary. To ensure effective treatment, the canal needs to be properly medicated. During the procedure, saliva and bacteria could get into the tooth and cause further infection. Additionally, there is a risk of swallowing small amounts of disinfectant solution or tiny instruments used during treatment. For this reason, a rubber dam is primarily used for the patient’s safety.
  2. All treatments follow the latest global protocols to ensure the best care. Our dentists continuously pursue education and professional development to provide the highest quality of care. Dentistry is rapidly evolving, and protocols are constantly being updated.
  3. Use of Specialized Equipment. It is essential to thoroughly clean and disinfect the root canals without exceeding the root apex. The Reipex 5 apex locator (VDW) assists in achieving this precise treatment. An apex locator is an electronic device used to determine the apical constriction of the root canal. It also helps the dentist measure the length of the canal. Another indispensable tool is the Satelec Acteon ultrasonic device. With its special tips, the dentist can clean the root canals, widen the walls, and enhance the effectiveness of disinfecting solutions inside the canals.
  4. High-quality, sealed root canal filling using the latest SybronEndo thermoplastic gutta-percha systemIt provides a three-dimensional, hermetic obturation of root canal systems of any complexity. It is important to note the hypoallergenic and biocompatible properties of this gutta-percha.

Since root canal treatment may cause subsequent discomfort, our attentive dentist will recommend medications that can be taken at home if pain occurs.

It is important to emphasize that specialists at Masych Clinic always complete primary root canal treatment with the placement of a crown. According to the latest international protocols, crown placement is a mandatory final step in root canal treatment. A depulped tooth (i.e., a tooth from which the vessels and nerves have been removed from the root canals) loses its nutrition and soon becomes brittle and prone to fracture. A tooth restored with a ceramic crown can last for many years, and the risk of root canal re-infection due to leakage is completely eliminated.

Finding and filling all root canals takes great skill. The specialists at Masych Clinic, equipped with the latest technology, premium filling materials, and extensive experience, are capable of handling cases of any complexity. Thus, your oral health is in reliable hands.
