Conservative Dentistry involves the treatment of cavities and related complications such as pulpitis and periodontitis. For these procedures, we use high-quality composite materials, machine-assisted endodontics, and perfect isolation with a rubber dam (cofferdam). All treatments are performed under local anesthesia, ensuring a comfortable, painless experience with the highest quality care.
Cavities are treated using composite fillings. Thanks to a wide range of materials, we achieve excellent aesthetic results in both the posterior and anterior teeth.
The main factor in determining the appropriate treatment method is the extent of the defect. A filling is only considered if the destruction affects less than 50% of the chewing surface.
There is no need to worry—we will thoroughly explain everything during your examination at the clinic.
In Conservative Dentistry, endodontic treatment (root canal therapy) is considered one of the most important procedures. If root canal treatment is successful, the tooth can serve for many more years.
So, let’s clarify what root canal treatment actually involves.
Inside every tooth, there is a pulp chamber, which contains nerves and blood vessels that nourish the tooth. If a tooth is so severely decayed that the cavity reaches the nerve, the nerve must be completely removed; otherwise, inflammation will occur, and the tooth will start to cause pain.
When a dentist removes infected tissue, they must gain access to the root canal system, widen it, and thoroughly disinfect the internal tooth structure.
Each root canal contains thousands of tiny branches, and often, canals are interconnected. The duration of disinfection is crucial for eliminating all infection, ensuring the long-term survival of the tooth.
In some cases, a disinfectant paste may need to be applied for 7-10 days.
Once we are certain that the infection is completely eliminated, the canals must be sealed to prevent bacterial penetration from the oral cavity.
Since teeth become more fragile after endodontic treatment, they almost always need reinforcement, either with a fiberglass post or a prosthetic restoration.
Fiberglass posts are used in Conservative Dentistry to reinforce a tooth after endodontic treatment or to rebuild the dental core for crown placement.
This is the fastest method for reconstructing a tooth core, as the procedure is performed directly in the dental chair.
A portion of the root canal filling is removed from the sealed canal, and the post is fixed into place using dual-cure cement. Then, composite material is layered onto both the tooth and the post, with each phase light-cured to ensure proper hardening.
As a result, this structure provides strong support, as the crown will rest not only on the remaining natural tooth but also on the artificial core, which is securely anchored into the root.
