Endodontics
Endodontics is the area of dentistry dedicated to the diagnosis and treatment of lesions in the pulp (the vital part of the tooth) and peri-radicular tissues. This type of treatment is commonly known as “a root canal” and is an essential conservative treatment when pulp tissues suffer from inflammation or infection. An endodontic treatment usually requires several sessions.

What's next?
In the case of deep dental caries lesions, the damage caused to the dental tissues can reach the dental pulp (nerve structure) and the apical region (tip) of the root.
When faced with this type of infection, the solution is to have a root canal done.
Teeth with endodontic treatment usually require specific techniques for the definitive rehabilitation of the crown, since most of them have extensive coronal destruction.
Endodontic treatments are often part of a multidisciplinary treatment plan that also includes the specialties of fixed prosthodontics and periodontology.
