Endodontics, or root canal treatment, is a conservative procedure that consists of the total or partial extraction of the injured pulp of a tooth and the sealing of the pulp canal.
A root canal, or “killing the nerve”, consists of cleaning the diseased pulp tissue of the tooth and filling it again with bio compatible material seal it.
It is one of the most used treatments in Dentistry and its purpose is to save a tooth that is considered dead, sick or damaged
Although there are other factors that can lead to this situation, the truth is that most of the time this problem is caused by the existence of deep cavities.
If deep cavities are not addressed in time, they can damage the pulp of the tooth – located in the deepest part of each tooth.
The pulp of the tooth is a small soft tissue that contains the nerves and blood vessels.
It is located in the innermost part of the tooth and communicates with the jawbone.

This intervention allows maintaining the functionality of the tooth, as well as its aesthetics, and is the last solution to save a diseased tooth without having to extract it.
This procedure is carried out exclusively on definitive teeth, so a root canal in children is not done because they are their milk teeth.
In case of presenting a damaged temporary tooth, a pulpectomy is used.
Likewise, endodontics could also be recommended for teeth that require large carvings for the subsequent placement of crowns or bridges.
The procedure consists of removing the part of the dental pulp completely, for which it is necessary to make a small hole on the enamel or take advantage of the hole that has caused the decay and access the interior of the tooth through the root canals. Subsequently, dentist clean these canals and seal them to avoid a new infection, and then rebuild the tooth with a simple filling or combining this with a dental crown.
Periapical Surgery Endodontist Tijuana
There are different situations when root canal therapy fails.
Periapical surgery allows the removal of a periapical injury, preserving the tooth at fault, in cases that conventional root canal treatment is not enough. The procedure is under local anesthetic.
The objective of periapical surgery is to achieve tissue regeneration of the periapex (the area around the apex of a tooth.). To do this, it is necessary to remove the whole periapical lesion by means of curettage and root apex resection, as well as by isolating the root canals with an adequate apical seal that prevents filtration and exposure to irritants, to ultimately prevent recurrence of infection.
Over the years, different classification systems have emerged for selecting which cases are eligible for periapical surgery and which would better respond to re-treatment with root canal therapy.
Endodontic Retreatment Tijuana
With suitable care, you will be able to keep teeth that have had root canal treatment for your entire life, but it is also possible for those teeth to heal incorrectly, becoming painful or illed months or even years after treatment. If this happens to you, you still have a second chance to save the tooth with retreatment. If you have the feeling a tooth that had a prior root canal requires re treatment, visit us for evaluation.
We will remove any infection, cleans and shapes the canals, and place new temporary filling materials. Once the tooth heal, which will require another visit, our dentist will place a new crown or other restoration on the tooth to protect it.
Post and Core Reconstruction Endodontist Tijuana
A post and core crown is a type of dental restoration necessary when there is not enough mass of sound tooth tissue remaining to retain a conventional crown. Our dentist cement the post into a root canal, which retains a core restoration, which, in turn, retains the final crown.
The role of the post is primarily to retain the core restoration and crown, and secondarily to redistribute stresses down onto the root, thereby reducing the risk of coronal fracture.
The benefit of placing a post into a root canal is to improve crown retention.
Posts are more commonly necessary for anterior teeth rather than posterior teeth. The first reason for this is that multi-rooted teeth have a large pulp chamber. It can be utilized for retention of the core. Therefore the crown, whereas anterior teeth are much smaller and less retentive.
Local Anesthesia
Non Pain Root Canal Tijuana
Endodontic treatment is usually practically painless, since we use very effective and long-lasting local anesthetics. After the effect of anesthesia, some discomfort may appear for a few days. Especially when chewing, due to the postoperative inflammation of the tissues that surround the tooth.
In most cases, endodontic treatment can be in a single session. Although in some cases the clinical situation of the patient, the technical difficulty of the case or other factors may require two or more sessions necessary.
Emdogain® (Straumann®)
A unique gel containing enamel matrix derivative. This mixture of natural proteins can induce biological processes that usually take place during the development of the periodontium. It may stimulate certain cells involved in the healing process of soft and hard tissues.
Contains amelogenins of various molecular weights. Amelogenins are important in the formation of enamel and periodontal attachment formation during tooth development.
Bacteria in plaque can cause gum disease / periodontitis / that breaks down tissue supporting teeth. Surgical cleaning tries to stop the disease to save loose teeth. Bone grafting, guided tissue regeneration and enamel matrix derivatives / such as Emdogain / aim to regenerate support tissues. Emdogain® contains proteins believed to regenerate tooth attachment. The review found that adjunctive application of Emdogain regenerates about 1 mm more tissue than surgical cleaning alone. Emdogain® showed similar clinical results to guided tissue regeneration, but is simpler to use and determines less complications. Bone substitutes may induce less gum retraction than Emdogain. No serious adverse reactions to Emdogain.
Topical application of Emdogain® onto diseased root surfaces associated with intrabony defects during MWF periodontal surgery. It will promote an increased gain of radiographic bone and clinical attachment. There was no evidence to indicate any clinical adverse effects from application of Emdogain® in conjunction with periodontal surgery.
