This makes possible enhanced diagnosis, treatment planning and precision during treatment. 

 

Endodontic Specialty Procedures

Non-surgical root canal therapy

In the event of deep dental decay or a tooth fracture, the nerve tissue within the tooth can become inflammed or infected. In order to prevent the infection from spreading, the most conservative treatment is to retain the tooth endodontic therapy as an alternative to extraction. This involves the removal of the nerve tissue follwed by disinfecting and sealing the root canal system.

Non-surgical re-treatment

In a previously endodontically treated tooth, bacteria can sometimes reach the sealed root canal system by penetrating the existing restoration.  This necessitates redisinfecting the root canals in a similar manner as the original  endodontic procedure.

Apicoectomy

When the tooth is not able to be retreated or has a recurring infection at the root end, the root tip may be a candidate for a small surgical exposure and treated directly.
