„Endodontics, or root canal treatment for diseases of the pulp and periapical tissues, is one of the most precise challenges in dentistry, requiring almost watchmaker-like precision. The treatment is carried out using very thin instruments that resemble needles in shape. It’s just an illusion because, in reality, these are mini-files used to clean and shape the canals as desired. Depending on the situation, the treatment can take from one to several visits, and a correctly performed procedure allows you to preserve the tooth for many years. Thanks to the local anesthesia we administer, the patient in the chair does not feel any pain. After the visit, you can forget that the tooth caused any painful discomfort, and you can once again enjoy your daily pleasures.

Root canal treatment is usually associated with extensive damage to the tooth crown. In addition, the thin walls of a dead tooth become more brittle and prone to fractures. A common mistake is the use of regular tooth fillings after endodontic treatment, which usually leads to their breakage and the need for extraction.

At ImplantDent, we have a solution to this problem. That’s why our doctors recommend the use of reinforcing glass fiber posts after root canal treatment, which stiffen the tooth structure and ensure that biting forces are correctly transmitted to the roots, without putting strain on the thin, delicate tooth walls.

An additional advantage of glass fiber posts is their durability – they remain in the tooth for a lifetime and, if necessary, can be used in the future as a pillar for a porcelain crown.”
