Endodontist Consultation Kaunas

The root canal system of teeth is a complex network of dentinal canals with different diameters.Bacteria that enter the root canal system cause inflammation.The microscope allows the dentist to see and assess the structure and changes in dental tissues that are not visible to the naked eye.During treatment, infected and inflamed dental pulp tissues are removed, the canals are thoroughly cleaned, disinfected, shaped, and filled with a special biocompatible material called gutta-percha.A tooth treated endodontically should be restored with a filling and/or crown as soon as possible to prevent bacteria from re-entering the root canal system and to reduce the risk of tooth and root fracture. The endodontist always works in a team with other dentists who restore the form and function of the tooth.High-quality endodontic root canal treatment and prompt and appropriate tooth restoration lead to successful and long-lasting results.

Qualified periodontists or surgeons at the “Aukštėja” clinic perform the extraction of wisdom teeth. The extracted tooth socket is filled with platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) and ozone therapy is applied to ensure rapid and safe healing.In up to 90% of cases, a chronic infection focus can develop in the place of a wisdom tooth. This becomes an open “immunological gateway,” allowing microorganisms and their toxins to bypass the immune system and enter the body, leading to various diseases.Wisdom teeth are the last permanent teeth to erupt. These teeth usually appear in people aged 17-25. Some people never have their wisdom teeth erupt, while others experience their eruption normally, just like other molars, without causing any problems.Unfortunately, most people’s jaws do not have enough space in the dental arch for wisdom teeth to erupt in the right direction and develop normally. They either do not erupt or partially erupt, and are therefore called impacted or unerupted teeth.If wisdom teeth cause health problems (pain, periodontal diseases, damage to neighboring teeth or bone, formation of cysts), or when planning orthodontic treatment, consultation with an experienced surgeon or periodontist is needed to determine the need for extraction.
