A severely decayed or infected tooth can cause intense pain and, if left untreated, may lead to tooth loss or serious oral health issues. At ROC Clinic Antalya, our advanced root canal treatment (endodontic therapy) removes infection while preserving your natural tooth, eliminating pain and restoring full function and aesthetics. With our modern, pain-free approach, you can get the treatment you need in total comfort.

How long will a root canal treated tooth last?

It is always better to maintain an original tooth rather than replace it with an implant or dental bridge, as it is more important for oral health to maintain healthy teeth. Therefore, performing root canal treatment on an inflamed tooth to restore it, rather than removing that tooth and inserting an implant or dental bridgework is advised.

Teeth that have undergone root canal treatment will remain for many years, or for life, with good oral and dental healthcare.

Canal Fill Fiber Post

In badly damaged teeth it may be necessary to provide extra support to securely hold a crown in place, in which case a ‘Canal Fill Fibre Post’ is required. With the result of advancing technology, ‘fibre posts’ are now light translucent, and with a crown made from similar material, the tooth will appear completely natural.

What comes after a root canal treatment?

The crown of the tooth must be permanently restored after the root canal treatment, giving the patient the ability to use the tooth normally. This restoration, if performed using the correct techniques may serve the patient for many years, or even for life.

Is there any discomfort after undergoing root canal treatment?

The patient might feel a mild toothache for several days following root canal treatment, this may extend to an ache when compressing the treated tooth. This is very normal, and will disappear shortly after treatment.

Is there any discomfort after undergoing root canal treatment?

• An X-Ray is taken to identify the problem
• Local anaesthesia must be administered to eliminate sensation from the tooth and surrounding tissue
• Tooth decay is removed and access to the dental pulp in the root canal is made
• Layers of infected dentin in the root canal are eliminated
• The root canal is then disinfected to remove bacteria
• An antiseptic is applied and kept in the canal for some time to ensure the eradication of remaining bacteria, and a temporary filling is applied
• On a second visit further cleaning of the root canal takes place before a permenant restoration of the tooth is made

How does the pulp tissue in the root canal become inflamed or infected?

Acids, generated by bacteria colonising the surface of the tooth, eat away at the enamel and dentine of the tooth, resulting in tooth decay. Without early treatment, the bacteria can migrate to the pulp tissue within the tooth and cause inflammation in the root canal.

What Is Root Canal Treatment?

Root canal treatment is a specialized procedure used to treat infection inside the tooth (pulp). During the treatment:

1. The infected pulp is removed.
2. The inside of the tooth is cleaned and disinfected.
3. The tooth is sealed and restored with a filling or dental crown to prevent future infections.

Signs You May Need a Root Canal:

• Severe toothache that worsens when chewing or applying pressure.
• Prolonged sensitivity to hot or cold foods.
• Swollen or tender gums around the affected tooth.
• Darkening or discoloration of the tooth.
• Pus or abscess formation near the tooth.

If you are experiencing any of these symptoms, it is crucial to seek immediate treatment to save your tooth and prevent further complications.
