Dental Devitalization with complete safety
Tooth devitalization, also known as endodontic treatment, is a procedure performed when the pulp of the tooth is damaged or infected. This condition can arise due to deep caries, dental trauma, or even periodontal infections.
Devitalization is essential to relieve pain, prevent the progression of infection, and save the compromised tooth. By preserving the dental structure, devitalization promotes long-term oral health and avoids the need for tooth extractions, maintaining masticatory function and the integrity of the smile naturally.

Removal of Dental Pulp
Using local anesthesia, an opening is made in the tooth to remove infected tissue and clean the inside of the tooth. Depending on the complexity of the case, it is not always possible to carry out the complete treatment in just one appointment. In these cases, a temporary filling is placed in the access opening.

Main Advantages of Dental Devitalization
Preservation of the Tooth
Vital extirpation allows for the saving of a tooth that would otherwise need to be extracted. This is essential to maintain the integrity of the dental arch and to avoid issues with occlusion and movement of adjacent teeth.

Pain Relief
The need for Root Canal Treatment often arises due to intense pain caused by inflammation or infection in the dental pulp. After the procedure, the patient experiences significant relief from pain and discomfort.

Infection Prevention
By removing the infected pulp, cleaning and sealing the tooth hermetically, the spread of infection to other areas of the mouth, such as the bone or gums, is prevented.

Frequently Asked Questions
1
What is tooth devitalisation?
The devitalization of a tooth is a procedure used to remove the damaged, infected, or dead dental pulp, and to clean, disinfect, and seal the tooth's root canal.
2
Why does a tooth need to be devitalized?
A tooth may need to be devitalized due to deep caries, dental trauma, fractures, or infections that reach the dental pulp, causing intense pain and inflammation.
3
Is root canal treatment painful?
Root canal treatment is usually performed under local anaesthesia, which means that the patient should not feel pain during the procedure. After the treatment, there may be some discomfort or sensitivity, which can be managed with painkillers prescribed by the dentist.
4
How long does it take to carry out the treatment to devitalize a tooth?
The duration of the treatment can vary, but it usually takes between one to two hours to complete. In some cases, it may be necessary to carry out the treatment in two sessions.
5
What are the signs that I may need to undergo a root canal treatment?
Common signs that you may need root canal treatment include persistent tooth pain, prolonged sensitivity to heat or cold, swelling and tenderness in the gums, discoloration of the tooth, and the presence of a persistent or recurring abscess or fistula in the gum.
6
What happens after the treatment?
After the treatment, it is normal to feel some temporary discomfort. The dentist may prescribe painkillers to relieve the pain. It is also important to follow the dentist's instructions for caring for the treated tooth, including avoiding chewing hard foods until the tooth is permanently restored.
7
How long does a devitalized tooth last?
With proper care, a tooth that has undergone root canal treatment can last many years, possibly even a lifetime. Proper restoration, such as a crown, and maintaining good oral hygiene are essential for the longevity of the treated tooth.
8
Are there alternatives to root canal treatment?
The main alternative to root canal treatment is the extraction of the infected tooth. However, we always prioritize a conservative approach whenever possible, which involves trying to save the tooth with a devitalization, as maintaining natural teeth is ideal for oral health and chewing function.
9
What can happen if a tooth that needs treatment is not taken care of?
If left untreated, a tooth that needs root canal treatment can lead to a serious infection, abscess, severe pain, and eventually, tooth loss. The infection can also spread to other areas of the mouth and body, causing other types of complications.
We accompany each step of your clinical journey, focusing on your comfort, confidence, and smile.
