Primary root canal treatment in Odesa – iDentity Clinic & Lab

Primary root canal treatment is performed at the first inflammation of the pulp or tissues around the root. The goal is to remove the infected nerve, thoroughly clean the root canal system of bacteria, and seal it hermetically along its full length.

At our clinic, endodontic procedures are performed under mandatory rubber dam isolation. The latex sheet protects the field from saliva and oral bacteria and prevents mucosal burns from antiseptic solutions.

An apex locator and periapical X-rays control canal length and shape. Cleaned canals are densely filled with three-dimensional warm gutta-percha, preventing reinfection inside the root canal.

When primary root canal treatment is chosen

How primary root canal treatment differs from retreatment

In primary treatment the doctor works with soft inflamed pulp and natural anatomy. Retreatment requires removing old hard materials, unsealing canals, and resolving previous complications.

Here is how that affects your care:

  • The procedure is faster and carries less risk to root integrity because canal walls are not weakened by prior instrumentation.
  • Infection in an untreated canal is far more sensitive to standard disinfectants than bacteria under old fillings.Absence of foreign materials (gutta-percha, posts, cement) avoids complex removal procedures.Overall cost and duration are lower, and long-term tooth retention prognosis is significantly better.
  • When another option is more appropriateIf X-ray or CBCT shows that:the root has a longitudinal crack or fracture, making sealed treatment and retention impossible;
  • the crown is destroyed deep below the gum and cannot be restored for a crown or onlay after root canal therapy;

there is critical mobility with severe periodontitis and more than 70% bone support lost.

In such cases the endodontist recommends extraction with immediate or delayed implant placement. The decision is based on 3D imaging.

  • корінь зуба має поздовжню тріщину або перелом, через що герметична обробка та збереження зуба є неможливими;
  • коронкова частина зруйнована глибоко під ясна, і зуб неможливо відновити під коронку чи вкладку після лікування каналів;
  • наявна критична рухомість зуба при важкій формі пародонтиту, коли втрачено понад 70% кісткової опори.

У таких випадках ендодонтист рекомендує видалення зуба з подальшою одномоментною або відстроченою імплантацією. Рішення приймається на основі аналізу 3D-знімка.

Frequently asked questions about primary root canal treatment

No — it is performed under effective local anesthesia. You should not feel pain during nerve removal or canal preparation.

Depending on inflammation stage (pulpitis or periodontitis), treatment takes 1 to 2 visits.

Mild pain on biting for 2–7 days is normal — it is the tissue around the apex reacting to medicament treatment and obturation.

If more than 50% of the crown is destroyed, a crown or ceramic onlay is recommended to prevent sudden fracture of the devitalized tooth.

Pain may temporarily stop when the nerve dies, but infection spreads into bone, causing chronic periodontitis with cyst or abscess formation.
