Treatment of difficult teeth
Dental diseases in the first stages are easily treated. But sometimes people delay going to the doctor, neglecting the disease or receiving poor quality treatment. Neglected cases are difficult to treat and inexperienced doctors suggest tooth extraction. Do not rush with extraction, today dentistry offers technologies that provide effective treatment of complex teeth.
What are the conditions that allow a tooth to be considered a difficult tooth?
If a person is experiencing pain and discomfort in the mouth, immediate dental treatment is required. Consider complex cases that require a more detailed approach:
- A tooth root cyst. Can lead to the destruction of the tooth root and surrounding tissues. If treatment is not undertaken in a timely manner, a tooth can be lost.
- Cavities. A disease characterized by the destruction of hard tissue. Teeth with more than 60% decay require more thorough treatment.
- Periodontitis. Inflammation of periodontal tissue resulting from neglected tooth decay and other infectious diseases. The infection can spread to the periodontal tissue, which can lead to serious consequences.
- Endodontic problems. When a tooth is affected by pulp inflammation or infected with a bacterial infection in the root canals, endodontic treatment such as nerve removal and root canal treatment may be necessary.
Remove or treat?
The decision whether to extract or treat a tooth depends on many factors, including the condition of the tooth and the availability of alternatives.
If possible, you should try to save the tooth, as extracting even one tooth can negatively affect other teeth, joints, and gums.
Especially, modern dentistry provides salvation of hopeless teeth. Root canal treatment and restorations using high quality materials can restore tooth function even when there is significant damage.
Modern treatments for hopeless teeth
Treatment of hopeless teeth is possible thanks to modern approaches:
- Endodontic treatment. In case of deep caries, pulp inflammation or infection in the root canals, endodontic treatment (root canal treatment) is performed. The use of microscope, ultrasonic devices, rotary instruments and three-dimensional scanning, allow dentists to carry out effective treatment.
- Restoration. When a tooth is severely decayed, restoration is performed. Using high-strength materials, dentists create a crown that provides reinforcement for the damaged tooth.
- Re-treatment. If there was a previous unsuccessful treatment, modern methods allow the root canals to be cleaned and filled again, preventing further infection from developing.
- Surgery. When standard treatment fails, surgery may be required to remove infected tissue in the root area (root tip resection).
Indications for dental treatment
Indications for treatment of complex teeth can include a variety of situations where the teeth are affected by various conditions that require special attention and comprehensive treatment. Some of the major indications for treatment of complex teeth are:
- Deep tooth decay.
- Inflammation of the pulp.
- Injuries.
- Chipping.
- A tooth root cyst.
These are just a few cases where difficult teeth require specialized treatment. It is important to see an experienced dentist who can save even the most complex teeth for treatment.
