These pathologies, as we have said, are the main causes of toothache, but they are also the cause of abscesses or even the rupture or loss of the tooth itself.

The endodontist doctor treats these pathologies through two different approaches. The first is to treat the tooth with therapies that pass through the tooth itself (orthograde therapy); in this case dental care can be as diverse as root canal treatment, devitalization and reprocessing when there is still a disease after endodontic treatment.

Sometimes, however, the dentist cannot cure these diseases by passing through the tooth; this is why it becomes necessary to work from the outside (retrograde therapy or surgical endodontics), with interventions normally defined as apicectomies.

Endodontics is the therapeutic approach that ensures the patient can maintain all the abilities of his teeth and that is why it is very important. In fact the tooth, properly treated, stops being a source of infection and once the dental crown is restored, it resumes its normal functions.

The success rate in these dental treatments is very high, over 90%, if these treatments are done by specialized dentists, as happens in our clinic.
