Methods of treatment of pathology
Treatment of the disease is carried out under local anesthesia, regardless of whether removal of pulpitis or more gentle treatment methods is indicated.
At the initial stages, a biological treatment method is used. In this case, the dentist strives to preserve healthy pulp tissue and eliminate the inflammatory process. This method is also used to treat baby teeth in children.
Treatment of pulpitis using the biological method is carried out in several stages. This requires a total of three visits to a specialist. Stages of therapy:
-
First appointment
- Analgesia (local anesthesia)
- Opening a carious cavity
- Treating the cavity with an antiseptic and placing a tamponade with an antibiotic in it
- Covering the tooth with a special bandage
-
Second appointment
- Treatment of the dental cavity with medications
- Filling the cavity with a special paste to stimulate dentin production
- Installation of a temporary filling
-
Third appointment
- 5-7 days after the second
- Filling the crown of a tooth
Treatment of pulpitis without removing the nerve is possible only in the initial stages of the pathology, when the inflammatory process has affected a small amount of tissue. Surgical methods for treating pulpitis are used if other methods have not brought the expected result. In this case, it is necessary to remove the dental pulp partially or completely.
Stages of surgical treatment:
- Use of local anesthesia
- Caries cavity preparation
- Pulp removal
- Antiseptic treatment
- Administration of medications
- Root canal filling
- Installing a filling on the crown of a tooth
Surgical treatment of pathology involves several visits to the clinic.
Treatment of pulpitis of a three-canal tooth is carried out with special care. In severe cases, the use of canal processing techniques under a microscope is required.
The price of treatment for dental pulpitis depends on the chosen methods of therapy, the degree of development of the pathology and the medications used during treatment.
About the disease
Dental pulpitis is a pathology that is associated with the development of inflammatory processes in soft tissues. If timely treatment is not started, pulpitis turns into periodontitis and leads to complete tooth destruction.
Treatment of dental pulpitis using modern standards and the latest technical equipment in Moscow is carried out by dentists from the K+31 clinics.
