What is a root canal procedure?

Root canal procedures, or endodontics, is a treatment for the inner pulp of the tooth. They are performed to save teeth from extraction. The dentist or endodontist, a root canal specialist, cleans out the decayed or damaged pulp without breaking the exterior of the tooth root. The cleaned root canal is filled with a bio-compatible rubber-like material called gutta-percha. They are also performed for patients with damaged teeth caused by accidents or fractures. The procedure takes one to two hours to complete.

What are the types of root canal procedures?

Primary root canal treatments are performed using stainless steel files. Stainless steel files could remove only a small amount of infection and could easily break. The more advanced and flexible nickel titanium files do not break easily and are able to clean the entire infected area easily. Rotary instruments used to clean the root canal are quicker than manual instruments. Other advanced root canal procedures make use of ultrasound or laser to effectively clean the root canal.

Is a root canal procedure painful?

Root canal procedures are performed under local anaesthetic. Patients will not feel pain during the procedure.

What is the recovery time after having a root canal procedures?

Patients take about three days to recover after a root canal procedure. Some patients require a week to recover from a root canal procedure.

When can I travel by air after a root canal procedure?

It is safe to travel by air one day after a root canal procedure. Patients should check with their dentist before embarking on their journey. If they feel pain or discomfort, they should postpone their journey until it abates.

What care is required after a root canal procedure?

Patients should take all prescribed medications correctly. They should not eat until the anaesthetic wears off. They should not eat or drink very hot or very cold food for at least a week. They should avoid eating hard food or sticky food. If swelling occurs they should sleep with their head raised for a few days to bring it down.

What are the alternatives to root canal procedures?

Alternatives to root canal procedures include extractions and pulp capping procedures.

Root canals save teeth that would otherwise have to be extracted. Many patients who need root canal therapy arrive in pain, treatment relieves that pain, they don't hurt. The causes of the need of this treatment are: The pulp has been irritated beyond natural healing and is causing pain. The pulp has died and is causing inflammation or swelling. There is an abscess at the end of the root.

Costa Rica Dental Team - Upper crowns to fix aesthetics

2, Provincia de San José, Curridabat, 11801

These people are perfectionists and will not give up until they are satisfied with their workGilles, US, 11 11 22

The things that I can say about Costa Rica Dental team cannot be expressed in the little amount of space I have here. I came here to Costa Rica in May of 2022 to a different dental place that put me through 15 days of horror. I thought I was permanently disfigured. On my plane ride home The 3 people around me were exchanging fishing pictures talking about the fun they had here. I shared my horrible experience after being told I was going to be able to go enjoy Costa Rica like they did. Instead I was prisoner at home without teeth just wondering if I would ever get to go home. They all said they were here in Costa Rica for the same exact job and all 3 said they went to Costa Rica Dental Team. I messaged them instantly before the plane started moving and gave a bit of a description of what I just went through and I am stuck without a bite and crooked teeth. Who does that? I went in with perfectly straight white teeth and came out all b butchered up with crooked teeth. By the time the plane landed I was so thankful that Costa Rica Dental team was already in contact with me. I couldn’t even eat as only one tooth touched the bottom. That’s how crooked this was and the other place had no shame to steal my money and ignore the botched up job they did. Maria scheduled me; she sent me links to rental places and answered any questions I had. By the time I met the staff at Costa Rica Dental team I couldn’t believe the difference in organization and professionalism. Then I got to meet Dr Mora and her lovely personality. It reminded me of when I was on the plane trying to write my message as fast as possible and the guy next to me couldn’t stop talking about how much he loved Dr Mora. I got to experience her expressions and her positive energy. She started grinding like she sculpting a piece of art and before too long she was able to take what was impossible to live with and made it to where I could eat until the implants healed and come redo this terrible job done by other dentist in Costa Rica. The unfortunate part is this zirconia junk that was forced in my mouth was so crooked and never allowed me to bite down ended up breaking in the middle of the night wearing a night guard. It didn’t even break anywhere near the grinding work done but it was so poorly made that the minute I was able to have a bite the zirconia that was sold to the lowest bidder snapped into 2 pieces. Thank god I was still in Costa Rica and able to be rescued by costa Rica dental team once more. I was scheduled to come back in November of 2022. I had to endure the embarrassment caused by the other dentist having a hard time eating and so many other problems including the top section falling out of my mouth. Finally November is here and I am finally going to have corrected dental work. The procedures and excellent knowledge of these people was completely opposite of my last experience with the dentist who stole my money. First temp was better than the last attempt at the other place. Seeing Dr Mora in action is something on its own but they all get together and make sure they collaborate and come up with the little they needed to change for the second temp. The lies and excuses I got from that other place were such easy fixes with these dentists at the other Dental Team. These professionals corrected my smile. I am now able to eat normal and smile without embarrassment. I cannot praise Costa Rica dental team enough. I wrote a short version of the horror I had before finding Costa Rica Dental team. I highly recommend everyone to come here. From Maria at the front desk to Dr Mora’s incredible personality who works magic. These people are perfectionists and will not give up until they are satisfied with their work. Everyone I saw this week all greeted me with smiles and kindness. They speak very good English for people like me who did not know Spanish. Thank you for everything you guys are amazing. I don’t know why anyone who reads this would go anywhere else. Come to Costa Rica Dental team and please stay out of Escazu

Root canals  
Root canal therapy ("Endodontics") is a dental procedure that involves making an opening in the chewing surface of a tooth and removing the infected pulp tissue within that tooth. To be successful, it requires the precise cleaning, disinfecting and shaping of this tissue in the affected tooth and the space (the root canal) in which this tissue resides. Once this is accomplished, the root canal is tightly sealed so that no bacteria can enter and re-infect the tooth. After the space is cleaned and shaped, the endodontist fills the root canals with a biocompatible material, usually a rubber-like material called “gutta-percha. ” The gutta-percha is placed with an adhesive cement to ensure complete sealing of the root canals. In most cases, a temporary filling is placed to close the opening. The temporary filling will be removed by your dentist before the tooth is restored. After the final visit with your endodontist, you must return to your dentist to have a crown or other restoration placed on the tooth to protect and restore it to full function.
Root End Surgery  
Periapical surgery is the treatment of choice when everything else has failed or in those cases where a re-treatment is not feasible (e. g. when canals are not accessible due to obstructions, unremovable cemented posts, etc). Instead of approaching the problem through the tooth, this type of surgery approaches the root tip directly entering from the gum and bone. During the procedure, the tip of the root is identified eliminating a very small piece of it (the last 3 millimeters) together with the lesion. This procedure is called "apicectomy". Afterwards, a small hole is prepared in the tip of the root, which is then sealed with a material that precludes the microfiltration of contaminant elements from the tooth to the surrounding supporting tissues.
