Endodontics
Treatment of tooth pain and sensitivity.
About endodontics
Endodontics deals with the treatment of diseases of the tooth pulp (commonly referred to as the "nerve"), which is located inside the tooth and is responsible for its nourishment and sensation. In the case of irreversible inflammation or necrosis, root canal treatment (devitalisation) is necessary to save the tooth and prevent infections and abscesses, while also allowing for the restoration of chewing function after tooth reconstruction.
In cases of failure of previous treatment, a repeated root canal treatment (re-endodontics) is the recommended solution. It involves removing the existing filling, re-disinfecting the canals, and then tightly sealing them and reconstructing the tooth. Damage to the pulp can be the result of deep cavities, trauma, or fractures, and manifests as pain, hypersensitivity to cold and heat, discomfort when biting, and sometimes also swelling, abscess, or fistula.
Solutions in endodontics – which is best for you?
Every clinical situation is different, which is why endodontics offers solutions tailored to the individual needs of each patient.
Benefits of endodontics for oral health
Pain relief:
Endodontic treatment is most commonly performed to relieve severe pain associated with inflammation or infection of the tooth pulp. By removing the damaged tissue, pain and discomfort are eliminated. The return to full comfort after the procedure is usually rapid.
Preventing infections:
By removing the infected pulp and disinfecting the tooth's root canals, the treatment helps prevent the infection from spreading to surrounding tissues, such as the bone and gums.
Preservation of tooth structure:
Endodontics allows for the preservation of the natural structure of the tooth, which would otherwise have to be extracted. In addition to the tooth retaining its original function, this helps maintain the integrity of the dental arch and prevents issues with occlusion (bite) and the shifting of adjacent teeth, which often accompanies tooth loss.

Technology and innovation in endodontics
At MALO CLINIC, the combination of state-of-the-art technology, continuous innovation, and clinical experience translates into more advanced techniques that make it possible to save teeth which in the past would have been destined for extraction. One of the greatest achievements in endodontics is the use of the operating microscope, which allows for a detailed magnification of the complex root canal system.
This technology enables the dentist to identify, disinfect, and fill microscopic areas that would be invisible to the naked eye, significantly increasing the success rate of treatments, particularly in root canal retreatments (re-endodontics). Furthermore, microscopy allows for the precise removal of old materials and the detection of canals missed during previous interventions.
