Endodontics: Precision and Care with Quality Instruments
Endodontics is the branch of dentistry primarily concerned with diseases of the pulp-dentin complex and periapical tissues. The pulp consists of connective tissue, blood and lymph vessels, and nerve fibers. When it is invaded by bacteria, inflammation of the pulp can occur. Possible causes include deep caries, cracks in the tooth, tooth injuries, or gaps between the tooth and filling. If the inflammation is left untreated, the bacteria can destroy the entire pulp and penetrate freely into the jawbone, leading to inflammation around the root tip.
To preserve such an infected tooth in the long term, endodontic root canal treatment is necessary. The tooth is anesthetized, a rubber dam is placed for protection, and the tooth is opened. For the success of this treatment, it is essential to locate all existing root canals of a tooth and determine their length precisely to the root tip. The diseased or already dead dental pulp is removed, and the canals are prepared. After eliminating the bacteria, the cavities are sealed with a root filling material and closed with a bacteria-tight filling. Endodontic treatment requires a high degree of precision.
For this reason, we at devemed manufacture precise dental instruments for endodontic dental treatments. Discover the wide range of endodontic tools in the devemed online shop and order directly online. The following instruments are required in endodontics:
- Dental probes: Checking for insufficient filling margins and caries, with fine tips, available in various shapes.
- Excavators: For removing carious dentin. Endo-probes: For locating root canals.
- Spoon excavators: Especially suitable for the front tooth area.
- Plate excavators: For granule removal, even in the posterior side tooth area.
- Pluggers: For retrograde fillings, with a ball for compaction, for condensation in the root canal.
- Gutta-percha applicator: For compacting (also for bone substitute material).
- Mouth mirror handles for endodontics.
- Micro resection mirrors: For hard-to-reach areas.
- Endodontic forceps: For drip, pin, and nerve needles.
- Pin and nerve needle pliers: Gripping small root and bone fragments as well as broken ones.
- Universal grasp forceps: Grasping objects such as root canal instruments, crowns, rotating instruments, root canal instruments.
- Splitter instruments: Removal of root fragments as well as root and bone fragments.
