Carious damage to dental tissues, dental traumas, and therapeutic procedures are followed by an inflammatory reaction in the pulp. When inflammation involves the entire pulp, its death is inevitable, and the root canal becomes the reservoir of microorganisms, protecting them from the immune response of the organism. Such cases require especially thorough and responsible treatment.

At the beginning of the last century it was proven that successful treatment might be expected only after the removal of “impurities” from the root canal. Modern chemo-mechanical preparation of root canals involves two stages:

1.  Mechanical preparation of the root canal;

2. Root canal preparation using chemical substances.

This technique ensures the removal of the contents of the canal lumen, and its disinfection.

The lumen of the root canal is the space that is on all sides surrounded by calcified tissue. Procedures performed during endodontic treatment should take place inside the canal without damaging the integrity of its lumen. This requires the determination of the length of the canal. The techniques applied in our clinic for the determination of root canal length are the following: 

            1. Radiography;

            2. The electric technique involving the usage of an electric root canal length-measuring device.

In order to achieve good endodontic treatment results, our clinic uses modern root canal filling techniques that are safe, predictable, operative, and ensure three-dimensional filling of root canals, i.e. they eliminate the connection between the oral cavity and periodontal tissues, thus ensuring the healing of pathologically damaged tissues.

For this purpose, we use gutta-percha posts. Gutta-percha is a unique natural thermoplastic polymer produced from the leaves of Palaqium Oblongifolium Burck tree that grows in Indonesia, Malaysia, and Philippines.
