In recent years, there has been significant development and advancement in the field of regenerative techniques, particularly in Endodontics. Regenerative techniques are primarily applied in children where root formation has ceased due to infection and necrosis of the nerves.
As a result, the root remains open, undeveloped, weaker, and simultaneously infected. With regenerative techniques, after disinfecting the tooth, we create the conditions inside it and by placing appropriate materials and agents internally, we stimulate and enable the organism's cells to activate. Once inflammation is resolved, these cells continue the root's development and further maturation. There are three different regenerative techniques that we can apply: Apexification technique, Apexogenesis technique, and Regenerative techniques. For more details, ask us during the diagnostic appointment.
There are many cases where we can avoid endodontic treatment (root canal therapy) and maintain the vitality of the tooth nerves, preserving all their functions. This is particularly useful in children and teeth that have not yet completed root formation, as by saving the nerves, we allow the teeth to complete their development.
Πότε μπορούμε να εφαρμόσουμε τις θεραπείες ζωντανού πολφού?
When your tooth hurts only momentarily upon drinking cold water (not hot), and there's no spontaneous pain or intense discomfort upon chewing, we can assess the likelihood of avoiding endodontic treatment and preserving the nerves within the roots. How is this achieved? If the cavity is deep and reaches the nerve, and if the above symptoms are present, we can use an optical microscope to remove only the superficial portion of the affected nerve that doesn't require complete removal of all nerves. Then, we cover the nerves with specialized bio-ceramic, biocompatible materials of the latest technology, and the patient returns for a simple filling.
Με αυτόν τον τρόπο διατηρούμε την υγεία του δοντιού με τη διατήρηση των νεύρων εσωτερικά, ο ασθενής διατηρεί την πλήρη αίσθηση των δοντιών εντελώς ανώδυνα και με επιτυχία.
What is the Sleep Endodontics;
Sleep Endodontics is an innovative concept created to meet the needs of thousands of pediatric and adult patients in Greece, providing specialized endodontic treatment (root canal therapy) using dental microscopy and sedation methods such as general anesthesia or patient sedation. Patients can undergo their endodontic treatment entirely painlessly in a controlled state of complete relaxation, free from any anxiety during the procedure and without any discomfort. In addition to its calming and analgesic effects, sleep endodontics allows even the most complex endodontic treatments or surgical interventions to be completed in one session for the patient.
Endodontist Dr. Nestor Tzimoulias collaborates with various private clinics equipped with surgical operating microscopes, and together with the specialized team of anesthesiologists, they can offer patients different methods of conscious sedation, including the use of nitrous oxide. In more specific cases requiring a higher level of sedation, intravenous general anesthesia is administered.
