We aim to replace tooth tissue lost due to decay, fracture or wear, in a form and function close to its natural form. For this purpose, direct composite filling or, in appropriate cases, personalized restorations such as inlay and onlay can be used.
The evaluation changes when the damage reaches the pulp tissue inside the tooth. The inflamed or infected pulp is removed. The root canals are cleaned, disinfected, shaped and filled.
After root canal treatment, a permanent restoration is made that closes the connection of the tooth with the oral environment. The type of restoration is determined by the remaining intact tooth tissue and the chewing forces the tooth is exposed to.
Not every deep cavity means root canal treatment.The decision is given by evaluating the complaint, pulp tests, clinical findings and necessary imaging together.
