ENDODONTICS

An endodontist is a dentist with special training in diagnosing and treating problems associated with the inside of the tooth. They do only endodontic procedures in their practices because they are specialists. To become specialists, they complete dental school and an additional two or more years of advanced training in endodontics, one of the nine specialties recognized by the American Dental Association. They perform routine as well as difficult and very complex endodontic procedures, including retreatment of previous root canals that have not healed completely, as well as endodontic surgery. Endodontists are also experienced at finding the cause of oral and facial pain that has been difficult to diagnose.

 Your teeth are mainly composed of a hard substance called dentin, which has a coating of enamel on the outside. At the core of each tooth is the pulp, consisting of nerves and blood vessels. The pulp may be irreversibly damaged by bacteria associated with decay, very deep restorations, fractures, trauma, periodontal disease, or the pulp may have become necrotic (dead).
In order to preserve a tooth in which any of these has occurred, it is necessary to remove the diseased or dead pulp tissue and to fill and seal the root canal system. This procedure is known as endodontic therapy. The only other treatment option is extraction. Since endodontic therapy is concerned with removing only the pulp from the root canal, the root will continue to function normally, because the nourishing and supporting tissues remain intact. It is advisable to remove the injured or dead tissue because it may become infected or act as an irritant to the tissues surrounding the tooth.

Texas Dental Clinic offers the highest standards of infection control advocated by the American Dental Association. We utilize the latest barrier techniques and autoclave sterilization to eliminate any risk of cross-contamination. Our priority is to provide stateof-the-art endodontic care while maintaining a strict operating protocol.

¿QUE HACE UN ENDODONCISTA?

Los Endodoncistas son odontólogos especializados en procedimientos endodónticos.  Para ser especialista en endodoncias se estudia la carrera de odontología y ademásse hacen dos años o más de estudios avanzados en endodoncia. Nuestros endodoncistas en Texas Dental Clinic, no sólo atienden casos de rutina sino procedimientos eondodónticos muy difíciles y complejos, incluyendo cirugía endodóntica. Nuestros endodoncistas también tiene experiencia para encontrar la causa del dolor oral y facial que ha sido difícil de diagnosticar.


Para un endodoncista conocer  la anatomía del diente le ayuda a entender de mejor manera el tratamiento endodóntico. Dentro del diente, debajo del esmalte blanco y de la capa dura llamada dentina, hay un tejido
blando llamado pulpa. La pulpa contiene vasos sanguíneos, nervios, y tejido conectivo que alimenta al diente durante su formación, pero ademas es una zona que puede ser muy sensible y provocar mucho dolor una vez que muestra infección por las caries. .

El tratamiento endodóntico es necesario cuando la pulpa se inflama o se infecta. Puede haber varias causas de inflamación: caries profunda, varios procedimientos dentales en el diente, o una fractura del diente. Un golpe en el diente puede hacer daño a la pulpa aún cuando no se vea una fractura en el diente. Si la inflamación o la infección de la pulpa no se trata, puede causar dolor y formar un absceso.
Señales de una pulpa afectada son dolor, sensibilidad prolongada al frío o al calor, decoloración e hinchazón y molestia en las encías. A veces no hay síntomas.


El endodoncista se encarga de quitar la pulpa inflamada o infectada, limpia y prepara el interior del diente con cuidado, obtura y sella el espacio. Después, se  le colocará una corona u otra restauración para proteger el diente y así darle su función completa. Después de ser restaurado, el diente sigue funcionando como cualquier otro diente.
