Gentle root canal treatment for a diseased tooth root

When the root of a tooth is diseased, it can be particularly painful. This is just one reason to treat the condition as quickly as possible. The main focus is on preserving the tooth, because extracting it brings a number of disadvantages, such as a negative impact on quality of life and the need for expensive dental prosthetics.

The success of a root canal treatment depends above all on the treatment method. In the past, the root canals were prepared by hand to remove the bacteria inside the tooth. This was less thorough and very difficult to carry out on curved root canals. The methods have advanced enormously in recent years. We too use modern technology and treat our patients with rotary endodontics.

Rotary preparation of the root canals is often more thorough and gentler than the manual approach. In many cases, this specifically supports the preservation of the natural teeth.

Treatment procedure for rotary endodontics in Düsseldorf

At our dental practice, the first step is to measure the length of the root canals mechanically using an electronic measuring device, so that even the bacteria at the very tip of the root are reached. Using special dental instruments and various irrigation solutions, the tooth root is then cleared of the unwanted bacteria. Once the canals have been successfully prepared, they are sealed with a special natural material. The method is particularly gentle on the tooth and the patient, as well as very thorough, with considerably better long-term prospects of success.

Frequently asked questions about root canal treatment

Is a root canal treatment painful?
No. The treatment is carried out under local anaesthesia and is usually painless. The modern rotary techniques we use are also gentler than the manual method. After the treatment, the tooth may be sensitive for a few days.
How long does a root canal treatment take?
Depending on the complexity, a session takes 30 to 90 minutes. In some cases, 2 to 3 sessions are required to fully prepare and fill the canals.
How much does a root canal treatment cost?
The basic treatment is covered by German statutory health insurance if the tooth is classified as worth preserving. Additional services such as rotary preparation or electronic length measurement may require a personal contribution, but considerably improve the prospects of success.
How long does a root-treated tooth last?
A tooth that has been properly root-treated and restored with a crown can last for many years — comparable to a healthy tooth. Regular check-ups and good oral hygiene are crucial for its longevity.
