ENDODONTICS IN MÁLAGA

SAVING YOUR NATURAL TOOTH WHENEVER POSSIBLE

Whenever there is no other viable alternative and tooth decay has progressed too far, reaching the dental nerve, root canal treatment often represents the last opportunity to preserve the natural tooth.

At EkiDental Clinic Málaga, we firmly believe that no replacement can fully match a natural tooth. For this reason, our treatment philosophy is always based on preserving and maintaining the natural dentition whenever clinically possible.

Modern endodontics, also known as root canal treatment, allows teeth that would previously have required extraction to be saved, restoring their function, stability, and long-term prognosis.

When Is Root Canal Treatment Necessary?

When deep decay, a dental fracture, trauma, or infection reaches the inner tissue of the tooth (the dental pulp), inflammation or infection of the nerve may occur.

In these situations, root canal treatment allows the infection to be eliminated while preserving the natural tooth structure, often avoiding the need for extraction.

Common symptoms may include:

• Severe sensitivity to hot or cold
• Spontaneous or throbbing pain
• Pain when chewing
• Swelling of the gums
• Dental abscesses
• Darkening or discolouration of the tooth

Modern Endodontics with Precision Technology

Endodontic treatment has advanced considerably thanks to modern technology.

At our clinic, we use advanced diagnostic and treatment systems that enable us to work with maximum precision and safety.

The procedure typically includes:

• Digital radiographic diagnosis
• Precise location of root canals
• Thorough cleaning and disinfection of the root canal system
• Three-dimensional shaping of the root canals
• Hermetic sealing using the latest generation biocompatible materials

Our goal is to completely eliminate infection and preserve the tooth for many years to come.

The Best Alternative to Tooth Extraction

Whenever clinical conditions allow, preserving a natural tooth is usually the most beneficial treatment option.

A properly performed root canal treatment allows:

• Preservation of the natural tooth
• Maintenance of normal chewing function
• Prevention of tooth movement
• Preservation of smile aesthetics
• Reduction of the need for more complex treatments

Reconstruction and Protection of the Tooth

After treatment has been completed, the tooth often requires a definitive restoration to recover its full strength and function.

Depending on the individual case, this may include:

• High-strength aesthetic composite fillings
• Ceramic inlays and onlays
• Metal-free zirconia crowns

These restorations protect the treated tooth and help ensure long-term functionality.
