Devitalization, when it is necessary to do it

There devitalization It is an operation that must be done when there is an inflammation or infection of the teeth for different causes:

• a deep car
• of repeated dental interventions
• a chipped or broken tooth

In fact, when pain is felt to a tooth, the nerve can remain damaged even if the tooth does not have evident breakages or chips; If you do not care in time, inflammation or the pulp infection, the tooth can start hurting and can form an abscess. We always remember the periodic checks from the dentist who avoid many problems.

The risk of having to extract the tooth

Therefore c ’ it is the risk of having to extract the tooth (painful operation, and also expensive). Devitalization therefore serves precisely to prevent the extraction of the tooth from taking place.

The devitalization intervention usually takes place in two sessions: the first is preceded by an X -ray. The real intervention takes place under local anesthesia, with the positioning of the dam (a latex handkerchief protects the other teeth).

Then the crown of the tooth and the removal of the dental pulp and the bacterial residues from the inside of the tooth is performed; The doctor will disinfect the root canal that will be filled with a natural resin that turns into calcium waterproof, the “Guttaperca”.

Everything ends with temporary tender, then replaced in the second operation by the reconstruction of the tooth that will be covered with a capsule that minimizes the risk of future dental fractures.

So This intervention is very useful To save the tooth without having to extract it in all cases in which there is a deep caries or serious trauma compromise the health of the tooth in an important way.

If pain was felt, it will pass, and the current infection will heal.

So this intervention is very useful to save the tooth without having to extract it, in all cases where there is a deep caries or of serious trauma compromise the health of the tooth.
