Endodontics is a treatment that involves removing infected nerve tissue from inside the tooth. One of the cases in which the patient must undergo endodontics is when the tissue damaged by decay is so extensive that it has reached the nerve of the tooth and as a result it has become inflamed, generating, in many cases, intense pain. When this happens, we resort to endodontics, that is, removing the vitality of the tooth.
Depending on the level of the condition, whether the patient is an adult or a child or whether the piece already had a previous endodontic treatment, the most appropriate treatment will be performed: endodontics, re-endodontics, pulpectomy, pulpotomy or apicectomy.
