12 MISINFORMATION ABOUT ROOT CANAL TREATMENT IN TURKEY
Turkey Medicals member and specialist in Endodontics Turkish dentist, who notes that there are still some common misconceptions about root canal treatment Turkey Dentist noted that this condition leads patients to be afraid and avoid this treatment. Is root canal treatment in Turkey a difficult method, a painful and long-lasting process, or does the life of the applied tooth Shorten? Here are their answers…
Dental health is one of the most neglected issues in our country. The most important reason for this condition is the idea that applications cause pain and pain, which is one of these methods of the best root canal treatment in Antalya and Istanbul Turkey.
Turkey Medicals member Acıbadem International Hospital Endodontics Specialist Turkish Doctor notes that all these misinformation causes loss of time, so the chances of saving the tooth are reduced, and eventually the tooth can be lost. For this reason, it underlines that the treatment of teeth that have a chance to be saved with canal treatment should not be delayed. Doctor, updates false information that leads to erroneous behavior on the subject.
1. Canal treatment is a difficult and complex treatment
In fact: teeth are made up of hard and soft tissues. In the outer part there is a hard enamel tissue, and in the inner part there is a cavity consisting of a vein and nerve pack that runs along the root. In this cavity, called the root canal, there is connective tissue called the pulp, which gives vitality to the tooth responsible for the development, nutrition and defense of the tooth. This tissue can become inflamed for various reasons or infected by the settlement of microorganisms. In this case, the root canal treatment process is completed by removing the pulp tissue inside the root and cleaning, shaping and filling the root canal cavity with tissue-friendly canal fillers. In order not to lose the entire tooth, treatment must be performed by experts. In these conditions, it is shown as a fairly easy treatment to perform.
2. It is a very painful procedure
In fact: contrary to what is feared, the patient does not feel any pain during treatment, as the teeth and surrounding tissues that will be performed during canal treatment are effectively numb.
3. It takes too long, you need to sit on the couch for hours
In fact: contrary to popular belief, the root canal treatment process does not take very long. The process of sitting on the patient’s chair and performing anesthesia and finishing treatment takes no more than an hour. Thanks to the development of devices and systems used to expand the root canals, the process can be completed quite easily and comfortably.
4. It is necessary to go to the dentist several times because it cannot be completed in one session
In fact: in cases where the essence of the tooth, called Pupa, is alive, the treatment can be completed in one session. But in cases where there is an infection at the end of the root, where the tooth loses its vitality, and root canal treatment is repeated, the number of sessions can vary depending on the condition of the tooth.
5. Since the tooth that has been treated with the canal will die, the treatment should be moved as far as possible or avoided.
In fact: the tooth that has been treated with a root canal cannot respond to external stimuli, such as hot and cold, but continues to function. However, root canal treatment is required, but if treatment is not performed, it leads to attraction and tooth loss.
6. The life of the treated tooth is shortened
In fact: a well-done root canal treatment and superstructure will not shorten the life of the tooth, said Endodontics specialist Dr., ” due to the removal of pulp tissue that provides the vitality of the tooth, the treated tooth may become more sensitive to breakage. At this point, it is necessary to pay attention to the decision to make a filling or crown on the tooth for upper restoration. A digital porcelain filling system is now used to protect the tooth, and making such fillings is much more effective in terms of supporting the tooth. In other words, the life of the treated tooth is not shortened. But upper restoration is very important for the tooth to function in the mouth after root canal treatment,” he says.
7. Root canal treatment is performed on each tooth that causes pain
In fact: not every aching or rotting tooth is treated with a root canal. For this, there must be certain criteria. In other words, these bruises, which signal with mild pain that may occur due to bacteria in the mouth or do not cause any pain at all, can be treated in the first place only with filler. But if left untreated, the bacteria progress to the part of the tooth called the essence, causing inflammation. In this case, root canal treatment is on the agenda. If the inflammation progresses too much, the tooth needs to be removed if root canal treatment is not possible in these people, although severe pain is experienced.
8. Only tooth decay causes inflammation
In fact: without any caries, some causes can lead to inflammation of the teeth. At the beginning of these is exposure to trauma. A severe blow can cut off the circulation of the tooth and thus lose its vitality over time, as the tooth cannot be fed. Tooth tightening / grinding, high fillings and restorations are also among the causes of chronic trauma and can cause inflammation. However, periodontal (gum and surrounding) diseases that are not treated for a long time are also among the active factors in tooth inflammation. In these cases, root canal treatment is also on the agenda.
9. A lot of pain is experienced after treatment
In fact: an endodontic specialist who stated that he does not have sensitivity to external stimuli, such as cold – hot, because the extract called pulp of the tooth that has been treated with the canal is taken, Dr., “If the tooth is a living tooth, a wound occurs at the end of the root during the rupture of the nerve vessel package, which is a wound that we created. It is normal to have mild pain with pressure during chewing until the wound heals. There is never excessive and severe pain. If such a situation is mentioned, it is necessary to consult a doctor, considering that something does not go normally,” he says.
10. It is necessary to use antibiotics before and after root canal treatment
In fact: in cases where the essence of the tooth to be treated is alive, if the patient does not have a general health problem, a systemic disease, there is no need to use antibiotics before treatment is performed. But if the patient uses medications for immune system failure due to causes such as the presence of a heart valve problem or organ transplantation, antibiotics are used for protection before treatment. This decision is made by the physician.
11. Root canal treatment of the tooth, in later times again becomes inflamed and makes pain
Truth: the success rate of a well-done root canal treatment is shown to be 90-95 percent. So no inflammation or pain develops. However, depending on the patient’s disregard for oral hygiene, infection can develop again if bacteria leak back into the root canals, such as a new tooth decay, a fracture in the hard tissue of the tooth.
12. If the treatment fails, the tooth must be removed.
In fact: a specialist in Turkey Endodontics, who says that root canal treatment is a repetitive procedure, Dr. “In cases where treatment fails, the canal filling is emptied, the root canals can be refilled after they are reshaped and disinfected,” was said.
