In popular parlance, the infamous tooth rage
Dental root treatment
Endodontics is a specialty of Dental Medicine that consists of treating diseases of the dental pulp.
Les maladies de la pulpe dentaire se manifestent soit par une infection ou par une inflammation du système canalaire qui contient la pulpe. En langage populaire, c’est la fameuse rage de dent. Afin d’éliminer cette inflammation ou infection, le Médecin-Dentiste réalise donc un traitement endodontique, c’est-à-dire une dévitalisation sous anesthésie locale.
It starts by removing all traces of infection inside the tooth root by mechanical and chemical (medication) action. Then, once all the root canals of the tooth are clean, he proceeds to fill them with biocompatible and waterproof products.
The care
The tooth is considered dead, but treatment of the root allows a crown or an onlay to be placed on the tooth without the need for an implant.

The root canal system of the dental roots is often difficult to access and usually very small. It is therefore often difficult to achieve working conditions with optimal vision. In our centre, root treatments, as well as many more classical procedures such as composites, onlays, often requiring high precision, are generally performed with optical magnification means: magnifying glasses or operating microscopes installed in all the practices.
