Treatment of inflammation

The duration of root canal treatment under a microscope can vary depending on several factors. Teeth with multiple root canals or with complicated anatomy may require more time to heal. For example, front teeth typically have one channel and can be treated more quickly, while molars often have three or more canals and may require more time. Teeth that are heavily infected, have advanced cavities, or have previously had unsuccessful root canal treatment may require a more complicated and time-consuming approach. Doctors with more experience in root canal treatment under a microscope may be able to perform the procedure faster and more efficiently. Also, the choice of techniques and tools can affect the duration of treatment. The use of modern tools and technologies can reduce the time it takes for root canal treatment.

In general, root canal treatment under a microscope can last from about 1 to 2 hours, depending on these factors. In some cases, treatment can be divided into several visits to ensure proper cleaning, disinfection and filling of the root canals.

It is important to remember that while duration is important, the quality and accuracy of treatment are critical to achieving good results and long-term success of root canal treatment.

Canal treatment under a microscope is an advanced technique that has many advantages over traditional methods. Here are some of the main benefits:

• The microscope allows the dental practitioner to see details inside the tooth with high magnification, which leads to greater precision in identifying, cleaning and filling the root canals.
• Some teeth may have additional canals that are difficult to see without proper magnification. The use of a microscope helps in their identification, which increases the chances of successful treatment.
• For teeth with a complex structure, for example, with curved canals, the microscope allows you to better navigate and treat these areas.
• More precise tools and better visibility help minimize the risk of damage to the tooth structure or surrounding tissues.
• More thorough treatment can lead to less tissue irritation, resulting in a shorter healing time after surgery.
• In general, the use of a microscope increases the effectiveness of root canal treatment, which translates into higher chances of long-term success and preservation of the tooth.
• Thanks to improved visibility, in some cases the need for multiple X-rays can be reduced, which reduces the patient's exposure to radiation.

Treatment of teeth under anesthesia, that is, under general anesthesia, is used for people for whom conventional methods of local anesthesia are insufficient or not indicated. However, before deciding on such a procedure, it is necessary to consider contraindications that may prevent it from being performed. The main contraindications for the treatment of teeth under anesthesia are:

• heart and circulatory diseases — people with heart failure, coronary artery disease, cardiac arrhythmias, or other serious cardiac problems may be at risk of complications during anesthesia. General anesthesia can affect blood pressure and heart function.
• Respiratory diseases — patients with asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or other respiratory conditions have an increased risk of breathing complications during anesthesia. General anesthesia affects the work of the lungs and requires controlled breathing.
• neurological disorders — people with neurological conditions, such as epilepsy, multiple sclerosis or Parkinson's disease, may be at higher risk of complications from anesthesia. General anesthesia can affect the nervous system, which in some cases can worsen the patient's condition.
• allergies to drugs used in anesthesia - before proceeding with the procedure, it is necessary to carefully analyze the patient's medical history in order to exclude allergies to drugs used during anesthesia. Allergic reactions can be dangerous and lead to serious complications, such as anaphylactic shock.
• kidney and liver disease — people with kidney or liver failure may have difficulty metabolizing drugs used for anesthesia. In such cases, the time of elimination of the substance from the body increases, which increases the risk of complications.
• pregnancy — the use of general anesthesia in pregnant women is contraindicated unless absolutely necessary. Drugs used during anesthesia can affect the fetus and its development, as well as increase the risk of miscarriage or premature birth.

Treatment of teeth under anesthesia is an effective solution in some cases, but requires a thorough assessment of the patient's health. Before the procedure, it is necessary to undergo a detailed examination and consultation with an anesthesiologist in order to exclude any contraindications and minimize the risk of complications.

The price of dental treatment under anesthesia depends on many factors, such as the scope of the procedure and its duration. In Apolonia Dental, the basic cost for general anesthesia (anesthesia) is PLN 1900. The price includes the first hour of the procedure, the care of an anesthesiologist and monitoring after the procedure. Each additional hour of treatment under anesthesia costs an additional 600 PLN. The duration of treatment is counted from the moment of the start of anesthesia until the patient wakes up. General anesthesia is especially recommended for extensive surgical procedures, complex treatment performed in one visit, procedures for patients with severe dentophobia and treatment of children requiring a special approach. It is worth remembering that all prices are subject to change depending on the individual case and the final quotation will be presented after consultation.

We make sure that all procedures are comfortable and painless. We perform most procedures under local anesthesia, and the minimally invasive techniques we use cause minimal or no irritation. With procedures such as whitening or bonding, anesthesia is often not even necessary. For people with dentophobia, we also offer the possibility of sedation with a cheering gas, which helps to relax. Our patients agree that the procedures were much more pleasant than they expected, and the end result is worth those few visits to the office!
