Endodontics in Málaga: conservative treatments to save your teeth
At Rubio y Dovado, we specialise in root canal treatment in Málaga, a treatment designed to preserve natural teeth damaged by deep decay, trauma or infection. Our aim is to relieve pain, stop the infection and maintain the tooth’s functionality for as long as possible.
What is endodontics?
Endodontics, commonly known as root canal treatment, involves removing the infected pulp tissue from inside the tooth, disinfecting the root canals and sealing them tightly.
It is a conservative procedure that allows the original tooth to be preserved rather than having to resort to extraction.
Using modern techniques and state-of-the-art equipment, the treatment is painless, safe and highly effective.
When a root canal is necessary
This treatment is indicated when the dental pulp (the nerve) becomes inflamed or infected, generally due to:
- Deep or extensive cavities.
- Dental fractures or trauma.
- Repeated injuries from previous treatments.
- Sharp pain, prolonged sensitivity, or abscesses.
At our clinic, we carry out a comprehensive radiographic and clinical assessment to confirm the need for treatment.
Types of endodontic treatments
Single-rooted tooth endodontics
In single-rooted teeth (incisors, canines).
Multi-rooted endodontics
In multi-rooted teeth (molars and premolars).
Endodontic retreatment
For cases where a previous root canal treatment presents complications or recurrent infections.
Technology and precision
At Rubio y Dovado, we use electronic apex locators, rotary instruments and digital radiography, which ensure a more thorough cleaning and a precise seal.
The entire procedure is carried out using optical magnification and radiographic guidance, minimising discomfort and improving the longevity of the treatment.
Aftercare and maintenance
Following root canal treatment, it is recommended that the treated tooth be protected by means of a restoration or dental crown, particularly in the case of posterior teeth.
Regular monitoring enables any problems to be detected early and ensures that the part remains in working order for many years.
