TEETH ALIGNMENT

admin — Mon, 10 May 2021 07:33:16 +0000

TEETH ALLIGNMENT

Orthodontics, the branch of dentistry concerned with the growth of the teeth, jaws, and face, is in high demand.

Orthodontic treatment is about making the best of your teeth; it’s about improving the harmony of your mouth and jaws. Once you can bite together correctly, you can eat more comfortably and care for your teeth and gums more easily. And your smile will benefit immensely!

The Starting Point of most courses of orthodontic treatment begins with a referral from a general dentist to a specialist.

Depending on what treatment is needed, most patients are seen by a specialist in a local practice or by a consultant in a hospital. Some patients are treated by dentists with extra training and experience to treat milder cases.

These are some of the most common reasons for a referral:

Protruding upper front teeth – one of the most common dental problems
Crowding – a narrow jaw may mean there is not enough room for your teeth, resulting in crowding. Conversely, some patients have significant gaps between their teeth.
Asymmetry – particularly when the center lines of the upper and lower front teeth do not match, perhaps because the teeth have drifted or the position of the jaw has shifted.
A deep bite – when your upper teeth cover the lower teeth too much
A reverse bite – when your upper teeth bite inside the lower teeth
An open bite – when your front teeth remain apart when your back teeth meet; the tongue is often still visible between the upper and lower front teeth.
Impacted teeth – in some patients, secondary teeth come through in the wrong position or do not erupt at all. Orthodontic treatment can help bring these teeth into the correct position.

GETTING TREATMENT

Every patient needs tailor-made treatment, planned by the orthodontist and agreed with you, the patient. Our specialist at Dr. Pandit’s Dental Clinic at Pune examines your situation and offers customized treatment.

In order to decide what treatment is required for you, your orthodontist will need to carry out a full assessment of your teeth which is likely to include x-rays, impressions (moulds of the teeth), and photographs.

Treatment can take more than two years so it is important you are happy from the outset with what is recommended. Braces are almost always needed. Those which are used most often are:

A fixed brace – this is the most common type of brace today, often known as “train tracks”. Brackets are glued onto the teeth and linked by wires. Small elastic hoops are often used to hold the wire in position. The wires exert gentle pressure to move the teeth into a new position. The brackets can be metal, ceramic, or even gold and the elastic hoops come in many colours.

A removable brace – this is sometimes used for correcting a simple problem, such as moving a single tooth or expanding the dental arch. It has a plastic baseplate with wires and springs attached. Removable braces need to be worn all the time except for cleaning or sport.

Functional appliances – these are used to harness the growth of the jaws and improve the way the upper and lower teeth meet. There are several designs all of which fit onto both the upper and lower teeth and hold the lower jaw forward. They are mostly removable but should be worn as near to full-time as possible

Retainers – at the end of treatment, all patients should wear retainers to hold their teeth in the new position. These can be removable or fixed and are an important part of treatment.

CERAMIC BRACES

Traditionally, braces have consisted of metal brackets and wires. However, some people have feared the idea of a “metal mouth” so much that they refuse to wear braces altogether, missing out on the possibility of a beautiful smile. For this reason, orthodontic research began to focus on less visible options.

Those wanting “invisible” braces can choose from four options:

Ceramic braces
Sapphire braces
lingual braces
Invisalign.

Ceramic, sapphire, and lingual braces all function the same way as metal braces. Brackets are glued to the front of your teeth.

A wire is shaped into the ideal position of your teeth, then threaded through the brackets. As the wire struggles to get back to its original shape, it gradually pressures your teeth into that shape as well.

Your orthodontist (a dentist trained in tooth movement and dentofacial orthopedics) will tighten the wires every four to six weeks. You should see a nice, straight smile within two or two and a half years (though this time period can be shorter or longer, depending on the severity of your problem).

Once your braces come off, you will likely wear a retainer for six months to a year, to keep your teeth from shifting and make sure your new smile stays in place.

The difference, though, is that these three types of braces don’t look like traditional braces.

Ceramic brackets are transparent and blend in with the teeth. Sapphire brackets are also very transparent, but tend to look best against very white teeth (otherwise, they can stand out).

Both of these types of braces are placed on the front of the teeth and are barely visible from over a meter away, or in photographs. Lingual brackets and wires, meanwhile, are glued onto the back of the teeth, making them completely invisible when you smile.

ClearPath Aligner

ClearPath Aligners are USFDA APPROVED, removable medical grade plastic appliances which the patient wears instead of brackets and wires to correct the malocclusion. Dental aligners are a modern alternative to braces, for teeth that are in need of straightening.

A Clear change to the concept of Cosmetic and Adult Orthodontic treatment without using conventional methods of wires and brackets.

Adults wouldn’t have asked for a better choice to correct their malocclusion without social inhibitions.

ClearPath dental Aligners also offer predictable results visualization even before the treatment Clear Aligners are clear removable cosmetic appliances designed for minor teeth movement of patients.

What are Clear Aligners?

Clear Aligners are substitutes to traditional braces and are made to help guide teeth into their real position.
Like braces, clear aligners also use a tool that controls tooth movement, but without those ugly metal braces.
The aligners are made of medical-grade plastic material and are designed to fit each individual’s mouth.
If a number of aligners are made, each aligner moves the teeth a little till the final desired position is achieved.

Dental aligners are supposed to be worn for at least of minimum 20 hours a day to reach the desired results. Each aligner is worn for two weeks before switching to the next one.

The length of treatment with dental aligners depends upon the complexity of the case. Normally, aligner treatment can be as short as three months or as long as 48 months as well. But in spite of this, it is a much shorter treatment than traditional braces.

How do Clear Aligners work?

Clear orthodontic aligners are a substitute for traditional braces that are used to move the teeth and alter your smile without much intervention to your daily routine life.

These are removable trays made of clear plastic which is nearly invisible.

When using aligners, a series of slightly different trays are tailor-made in order to fit over your teeth. You must wear each one for a period of 20 hours a day for two weeks before switching to the next in the line.

The aligners are computer-generated, fabricated by top-notch techniques based on models and images of your own teeth.

Advantages of orthodontic treatment with clear aligners

There are several benefits to using clear aligners:

Since Clear aligners are removable, so it is easier to brush and floss after meals
Clear aligners are easier to maintain and clean
Clear aligners are cozy and do not irritate your gums and cheeks

The smile you deserve is within your reach now!

ClearPath provides new improved quality USFDA APPROVED aligners through its unique process. These provide a hygienic, convenient, and clear solution for the correction of malocclusion without having to wear brackets and wires.

ClearPath Aligners are removable medical grade plastic appliances which patient wears instead of brackets and wires to correct the malocclusion.

It is a Clear change to the concept of Adult Orthodontic treatment without using conventional methods of wires and brackets. The aligners are worn all throughout the day except during brushing & eating and changed every 2 weeks.

GUM TREATMENTS AND PROCEDURES

admin — Mon, 10 May 2021 07:25:39 +0000

GUM TREATMENTS AND PROCEDURE

Gum disease is a very destructive disease that attacks not just the gums (the gingiva), but also the bone support around each tooth. We at Dr. Pandit’s Clinic for Dental Excellence and Implant offer world-class gum treatment in Pune at an affordable cost.

Many people have straight teeth, no history of tooth decay, and yet still lose their teeth! This can be attributed to the aggressiveness of gingivitis, and is just one of the many reasons why visiting the dentist on a regular basis is so important.

If you notice any of the following signs or symptoms you more than likely are experiencing gingivitis:

Gums that bleed when you brush or floss
Gums that are very sore or tender to brushing or flossing
Gums that have changed in shape or texture
Gums that release pus
Bad breath or a bad taste in the mouth
Teeth that feel loose or have changed in the way that they fit together

Treatment for Gum Disease: If you have been diagnosed with gum disease, or suspect that you have it; you need to radically change the way you take care of your oral health.

YOUR DENTAL HYGIENIST WILL TAKE THE FOLLOWING ACTION

Recommend that you receive a deep cleaning (scaling and root planning), a very meticulous cleaning that removes bacteria and harmful debris. It is usually completed within a 1.5-hour appointment. Anesthesia may be used to ensure your complete comfort.

Recommend a prescription mouthwash to jump-start the healing of your gum tissue. This peridex mouthwash (chlorhexidine) is antibacterial and will assist your mouth in keeping bacteria under control.

Instruct you on proper home care habits. You will need to use a high-quality electric toothbrush, as well as dental floss on a regular basis.

In the future, you will need to see your dental hygienist more frequently, about every three or four months, until the gum disease is resolved. Gingivitis requires additional attention and maintenance procedures, which is why it is so vitally important to be seen regularly.

Most insurance companies will decline to pay for more than two dental cleanings per year. It is very important to remember that insurance should never dictate your quality or quantity of care.

ORAL AND MAXILLOFACIAL SURGERY AND THEIR TYPES

admin — Mon, 10 May 2021 07:20:56 +0000

ORAL AND MAXILLOFACIAL SURGERY AND THEIR TYPES

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery is the surgical specialty that includes the diagnosis, surgical and related treatments of a wide spectrum of diseases, injuries, defects, and aesthetic aspects of the mouth, teeth, jaws, face, head, and neck. It is an internationally recognized surgical specialty.

Oral and maxillofacial surgeons at our dental clinic in Pune are trained to treat and care for patients who experience such conditions as problem wisdom teeth, facial pain, and misaligned jaws.

They treat accident victims suffering facial injuries, offer reconstructive and dental implant surgery, and care for patients with tumors, cysts, and developmental craniofacial abnormalities of the jaws/ face and functional and aesthetic conditions of the maxillofacial areas.

The scope of this specialty is extensive and concerns the diagnosis and treatment of diseases affecting the oral (mouth) and maxillofacial (face and neck) regions, including the following:

Oral and dentoalveolar surgery (removal of impacted and buried teeth, cysts, etc.).
Pre-prosthetic surgery (bone augmentation).
Dental implant surgery and associated bone grafting (to replace missing teeth or stabilize dentures; rehabilitation of patients having undergone surgery for tumors, to retain facial prostheses.
Orthognathic surgery (dentofacial deformities).
Facial trauma surgery (facial bone fractures and related soft tissue injuries).
Reconstructive surgery of the face.
Cleft lip and palate surgery.
Congenital craniofacial deformities.
Facial plastic surgery (rhinoplasty, rhytidectomy, blepharoplasty, facial implants, etc.).
Temporomandibular Joint Disorder (TMJD).
Snoring and sleep apnea correction surgery.
Tumor/Cancer surgery.

Oral and maxillofacial surgeons (OMS) frequently work alongside other specialists including dentists, orthodontists, prosthodontists, radiologists, pathologists, oncologists, ENT surgeons, neurosurgeons, plastic surgeons, and other professionals allied to medicine.

CHILD DENTISTRY AND CHILD DENTAL CARE

admin — Mon, 10 May 2021 07:08:29 +0000

CHILD DENTISTRY AND CHILD DENTAL CARE

WHO IS PEDODONTIST?

The paediatric dentist (Pedodontist) is the specialist who is dedicated to the oral health of children from infancy through the teenage years.

The very young, pre-teens and teenagers all need a different approach in dealing with their behaviour, guiding their dental growth and development, and helping them avoid future dental problems.

The pediatric dentist at our dental clinic is best qualified to meet these needs of child dentistry in Pune.

Paediatric dentists have had special training, which allows them to provide the most up-to-date and thorough treatment for a wide variety of children’s dental problems.

They are trained and qualified to treat special patients who may have emotional, physical, or mental handicaps. Because of this specialized training and commitment to comprehensive oral health, many parents wisely choose a paediatric dentist to treat their children.

At Dr. Pandit’s Clinic, we provide dental care for children by pedodontist (pediatric Dentist) in a delightful, fun dental atmosphere.

Among the services provided by our paediatric dentist include pulpectomies (Root canal Treatment) fissure sealant, fluoride applications, space maintainers, tooth – coloured fillings Composite Fillings), stainless steel crown, and habit-breaking appliances.

DENTAL SEALANTS

Sealants help to prevent tooth decay (dental caries), the most common dental disease among children. Your dentist can help prevent or reduce the incidence of decay by applying them to your child’s teeth.

A Sealant is a clear plastic material that, when applied to the chewing surface of a tooth, bonds into the grooves of the tooth to act as a barrier protecting the enamel from plaque and acids.

It is applied to the back teeth (premolars and molars) where decay occurs most often. Sealant is most effective for children age 6 and older.

TOPICAL FLUORIDE APPLICATION

The role of fluoride in preventing dental caries is unequivocal. In the case of topical fluoride application, the reduction in caries experience in children can reach up to 60%.

The number of topical fluoride applications per year depends on the caries risk of a particular child, but a minimum of two applications is considered the optimum in most cases.

SPACE MAINTAINER

A space maintainer is an appliance used to maintain the space of a prematurely lost primary tooth until the eruption of the permanent successor.

This will prevent later space problems and reduces the possibility of the need for orthodontic treatment.

CROWNS

Two types of crowns are available and can be used in children. The first is the stainless steel crown, which is used to restore a largely decayed primary molar, or a pulpally treated molar. The second is the cellulose crown and is used to restore an anteriorly decayed incisor.

PROSTHETIC DENTISTRY AND ITS BENEFITS

admin — Mon, 10 May 2021 07:03:46 +0000

PROSTHETIC DENTISTRY AND ITS BENEFITS

We at Dr. Pandit’s Clinic for Dental Excellence and Implant Center have all the expertise and experience in Prosthetic dentistry in Pune.

WHAT ARE DENTURES?

Dentures are artificial substitutes used to replace all or some of the lost teeth and adjoining tissues to maintain the function, health, and aesthetics of the tissues. So in simple words dentures help to replace lost teeth.

A complete denture is a dental prosthesis that replaces all the teeth and contiguous oral tissues in order to help restore the function, health, and appearance of the patient. Complete dentures can be made for the lost upper and the lower teeth at our prosthetic dentistry clinic in Pune.

Under certain circumstances, only the upper or the lower denture is made and this is called a single denture.

Complete dentures fabricated before the extraction of the teeth and inserted soon after the extraction are called immediate complete dentures.

All dentures are made of a denture base and teeth. The denture base is usually made of acrylic resin, which is usually coloured pink to resemble the oral gum tissues.

The teeth are made of acrylic resins, which are the most preferred. Teeth are available in various sizes, forms, and colours to suit the needs of the patients.

IMMEDIATE DENTURES AND ITS BENEFITS

An immediate denture is constructed before teeth are removed from the patient’s mouth so that the patient doesn’t have to move around without teeth till the final denture is ready.

Constructing immediate dentures involves taking impressions (making copies) of your mouth before the teeth are removed.

When your remaining teeth are removed the denture can be inserted immediately.

Because the denture is placed over the new extraction sites it will actually prevent swelling.

The denture should not be removed for 24 hours and only by the dentist the day after you receive your new denture.

Post-operative visits will be required to check the extraction sites and make required adjustments to the dentures.

Because the mouth will change after it heals, your dentures will need to be evaluated at 3-month intervals and will need to reline to fit the changes that have occurred in your mouth.

VALPLAST PARTIAL DENTURES

Valplast partial dentures are gradually replacing conventional metal dentures. Today dentists are prescribing flexible material for removable partial dentures (RPDs) because it makes a better, stronger appliance faster.

Flexible material reduces chair time, eliminates invasive procedures and the cumbersome materials associated with rigid partials. In short, there is no longer any need for metal.

The material in flexible partials is perfectly suited to the variety of natural conditions in the mouth.

It simplifies the design and enables the RPD itself to balance the simultaneous requirements of retention, support, and stability.

The choice of a Valplast partial avoids the placement of metal in the patient’s mouth satisfying the patient’s interest in the metal-free denture.

WHAT ARE DENTAL CROWN AND BRIDGES?

admin — Mon, 10 May 2021 06:58:57 +0000

WHAT ARE DENTAL CROWN AND BRIDGES?

Crowns and bridges are fixed prosthetic devices. Unlike removable devices such as dentures, which you can take out and clean daily, crowns and bridges are cemented onto existing teeth or implants, and can only be removed by a dentist.

HOW DO DENTAL CROWNS WORK?

A crown is used to entirely cover or “cap” a damaged tooth. Besides strengthening a damaged tooth, a crown can be used to improve its appearance, shape or alignment.

A crown can also be placed on top of an implant to provide a tooth-like shape and structure for function.

Porcelain or ceramic crowns can be matched to the colour of your natural teeth; Porcelain bonded to a metal shell is often used for posterior teeth because it is both strong and attractive.

WHEN TO IMPLANT DENTAL CROWNS

Replace a large filling when there isn’t enough tooth remaining.

Protect a weak tooth from fracturing.

Restore a fractured tooth Attach a bridge.

Cover a tooth that has had root canal treatment.

HOW DO DENTAL BRIDGES WORK?

A bridge may be recommended if you’re missing one or more teeth.

Gaps left by missing teeth eventually cause the remaining teeth to rotate or shift into the empty spaces, resulting in a bad bite.

The imbalance caused by missing teeth can also lead to gum disease and temporomandibular joint disorders.

Bridges are commonly used to replace one or more missing teeth. They span the space where the teeth are missing.

Bridges are cemented to the natural teeth or implants surrounding the empty space. These teeth, called abutments, serve as anchors for the bridge.

A replacement tooth, called a pontic, is attached to the crowns that cover the abutments.

As with crowns, you have a choice of materials for bridges, based on the location of the missing tooth (or teeth), its function, aesthetic considerations and cost. Porcelain or ceramic bridges can be matched to the colour of your natural teeth.

We also deliver branded crowns as well as bridges with 5 to 20 years of warranty. These crowns are manufactured by cad-cam technology.

They are made from zirconia material. We deliver e max crowns with 5 yrs warranty. Ziecon crowns with 5 yrs warranty. Amangirrbach with 25 years of warranty. We also delivers procera crowns, lava crowns, czar crowns, procra alumina crowns, procera zirconia crowns.

WHAT IS COSMETIC DENTISTRY AND WHAT ALL IT INCLUDES?

admin — Mon, 10 May 2021 06:32:05 +0000

WHAT IS COSMETIC DENTISTRY AND WHAT ALL IT INCLUDES?

Cosmetic dentistry is a discipline within dentistry in which the primary focus is the modification of the appearance of a patient’s oral cavity and surrounding structures, in conjunction with the prevention and treatment of organic, structural, or functional oral disease.

Through cosmetic dentistry, the appearance of the mouth can be altered to more closely match the patient’s subjective concept of what is visually pleasing

Dr. Pandit’s Clinic for dental excellence is considered one of the best dental clinics for cosmetic dentistry in Pune.

TEETH WHITENING

Teeth Whitening is the most commonly prescribed cosmetic dental procedure. While many whitening options are now available, dentist-supervised treatments remain the recommended procedures for lightening discoloured teeth.

Tooth whitening can help ward off the embarrassment of yellow teeth that shows up as a result of the natural aging process or discoloration due to stains occurred by over-consumption of tea, coffee, and cola and eating habits.

Teeth whitening procedures can not only lend you that smart, younger look but also can pep up your confidence level and thus your self-esteem.

At Dr. Pandit’s, we use the BriteSmile teeth whitening system which is clinically proven to be safe, and the benefits can last for years and therefore our cosmetic dentistry in Pune is highly acclaimed by our patients.

SMILE DESIGN

Smile before placing laminates and after smile makes over with ceramic laminates. In the first picture tooth, no 1 is rotated, no 2 is broken, no 3 fracture lines not seen in the picture, no 4 is fractured, no 5 & 6are rotated. All are corrected in the after picture.

PORCELAIN VENEERS / INDIRECT LAMINATES

In dental terminology, “veneers” or “laminates” means a covering on the front side of a tooth for its cosmetic enhancement.

With the advancement in technology, several different materials have been developed over the years for the purpose of making a veneer.

Porcelain Veneers are very thin pieces of durable, tooth-shaped porcelain that are custom-made by a professional dental laboratory.

Veneers or laminates can completely reshape your smile and individual teeth. They can be used to cover small imperfections and defects, and to mask stains or discoloured teeth.

Porcelain/ceramic veneers can also be used as alternatives to crowns and to cover previous discoloured fillings. Teeth that are permanently discoloured/stained are ideal candidates for porcelain veneers.

Veneers are frequently utilized for filling the spaces that lie between teeth. They are very durable and will last many years, giving you a lasting and beautiful smile

DIRECT LAMINATES / COMPOSITE LAMINATES

Composite Laminates are also known as directly fabricated veneers:

These are composite resin materials applied to the tooth surface freehand by the clinician.

Direct composite veneers

Primary indications for direct composite labial veneers

White spot lesions.
Severe fluorosis discoloration.
Severe hypoplastic discoloration.
Because the discoloration is confirmed entirely to enamel and never extends into dentin.

The choice to composite materials:

If the occlusion is normal and no stresses on the restorations the light-cured micro-filled composite material is the choice because of its superb polishability and overall aesthetic acceptability. If occlusal factors are more demanding the Hybrid material would be the better choice.

Indications of direct veneers

Patients who exhibit significant wear of anterior teeth caused by occlusal stress.
Low cost

Advantages of direct veneers

Can mask dark stains more aesthetically than direct bonding.
No anesthesia is usually required.
Can easily be repaired in the mouth if and when staining or chipping occurs.
More conservative- Less tooth reduction than crowing.
Usually, user experience.
Colour change possible.
Less fatigue to the patient and easily manipulated.

Disadvantages of direct veneers

Required two visits.
Greater expense than bonded composites.
More prone to cohesive fracture than porcelain veneers.
Can be irreversible procedures it much enamel is removed
Not as strong as porcelain laminate.
Comparable aesthetics to porcelain but not comparable clinical longevity.

WHAT ARE DENTAL FILLINGS AND ITS BENEFIT

admin — Mon, 10 May 2021 06:18:12 +0000

WHAT ARE DENTAL FILLINGS AND ITS BENEFIT

COMPOSITE FILLINGS PROCEDURE AT DR. PANDIT’S CLINIC FOR DENTAL EXCELLENCE

When treating a cavity, the dentist will remove the decayed portion of your tooth and fill it with another substance called composite materials. This procedure is called filling.

There are multiple options for the material to be used in the filling, the most common of which are composite fillings and amalgam fillings.

A composite filling is also known as a tooth-colored filling since the material used in the filling can be closely matched to the color of your teeth.

Composite fillings provide good durability for small to medium cavities, and the procedure typically involves removing less of a tooth than you would during an amalgam filling.

They are also particularly well suited for treating front or highly visible teeth because of their natural look.

When can a composite filling be used for?

Decayed tooth (i.e. cavity)
Chipped or broken teeth
Decreasing the gap between teeth

How it is done?

After the dentist numbs the area where the filling is to be placed, she will remove any decayed portions.

A substance is then applied to help open up the pores of your teeth for a stronger bond and hardened and cured with a special light.

Once this is complete, the filling is applied in thin layers to slowly form the complete filling. After the composite has hardened, the filling will be smoothened and polished to be comfortable and fit your bite.

The benefits of Composite fillings are as follows

It is adhesive filling
Requires conservative preparation
Supports tooth structure
Tooth coloured
Does not transmit heat

We use the layering technique to do dental filling as it has less or no micro shrinkage and no further tooth sensitivity after filling. More durable as we maintain natural anatomy, natural curvatures of the tooth which in itself gives strength to the tooth

WHY ROOT CANAL TREATMENT IS REQUIRED?

admin — Mon, 10 May 2021 06:09:40 +0000

WHY ROOT CANAL TREATMENT IS REQUIRED?

Dr. Pandit’s Clinic for Dental Excellence and Implant is considered one of the leading dental clinics for Root canal treatment in Pune.

Endodontics is a specialty of dentistry, which deals with tooth pulp. The pulp (containing nerves, arterioles, and venules as well as lymphatic tissue and fibrous tissue) can become diseased or injured and thus is unable to repair itself.

The pulp then dies and endodontic treatment is required. The word comes from the Greek words endo meaning inside and odons meaning tooth. Literally taken, it means the study of that which is “inside the tooth”.

You can contact us for consultation regarding root canal treatment in Pune.

Root Canal Treatment

The most common procedure done in endodontics is root canal therapy, which involves the removal of the diseased pulp tissue.

The tooth consists of two parts: the crown and the root. Inside each root is a channel that runs the length of the tooth. This channel, called ‘the root canal’, contains the pulp (nerves, blood vessels, and soft tissues).

The toothaches when the gum is inflamed or infected. In order to save such tooth, root canal treatment is performed which involves the removal of the inflamed root canal contents, which are replaced with an inert, proven, biocompatible material. This tooth is then brought back to form and function by fixing a crown on it.

Periapical Lesion

Most periapical diseases are induced as a result of direct or indirect involvement of oral bacteria.

The etiologic factors are oral contaminants through the root canal or degenerating pulpal tissues. Therefore, mere surgical removal of the periapical lesions without proper root canal disinfection and obturation will not result in the healing of periapical tissues.

Conventional root canal treatment in Pune at our dental clinic is aimed primarily at eliminating these bacteria as completely as possible. Treatment options to manage large periapical lesions range from non-surgical root canal treatment and /or apical surgery to extraction.

The current philosophy in the treatment of teeth with large periapical lesions includes non-surgical root canal treatment. When this treatment is not successful in resolving the periradicular pathosis, additional treatment in the form of surgical intervention (curettage and apical resection with retrograde filling) is given.

Single Vs Multiple Visit Root Canal treatments

One visit root canal has several advantages such as

1. Reduced flare-up rate

2. Good patient acceptance

Advantages of multiple appointment treatment

1. Enhanced contact time of medicine with the canal

2. Flare-ups can be addressed before the completion of treatment.

Advantages of single appointment root canal treatment in Pune at Dr. Pandit’s Clinic for Dental Excellence and Implant Centre.

1. Increased patient acceptance and less duplication of procedures.

2. One less appointment.

3. Only one anesthesia administration is required.

4. Dentist has familiarity with canals angles, curvatures, and instrument’s glide path.

5. No risk of inter-appointment contamination through leakage or loss of integrity of the temporary restoration.

6. Logistical issues such as patient travel time, loss of time from work, arrangements for childcare, etc. are minimized

In Our Opinion

1. One-step root canal can be carried out in vital cases and non-vital traumatic cases without signs of apical periodontitis.

2. Multiple visits are appropriate for symptomatic teeth such as long-standing chronic periapical lesions & acute cases with swelling.
