Endodontics
Endodontics
is a branch of dentistry that deals with dental pulp tissue in the tooth roots
and tissues surrounding them. Endodontics literally means inside the tooth and
is concerning with the disinfection of infected pulp tissue in the tooth roots
(Root Canals). Root Canal Treatment or Endodontic treatment primarily focuses
on the disinfection of the root canals and safeguarding the natural tooth.
Depending
on various clinical situations, there are conventional / Single sitting / Laser
assisted RCT and the most advanced microendodontics (operating microscope /
loupe assisted).
Restorative Dentistry
Restorative
Dentistry is a specialty that deals with treatment of decayed teeth. The
treatment varies depending on the extent of decay, ranging from simple fillings
to complex class II – class V restorations.
·
Simple
fillings of the decayed teeth:
These
fillings include conventional silver fillings, tooth colored composite fillings
and glass ionomer (GIC) fillings etc.
·
Complex
restorations:
These are tooth saving procedures like Inlays, Onlays and
restoration of mutilated teeth with post and core build up.

ROOT CANAL TREATMENT
- Root
canal treatment is the most preferred treatment to retain the natural
tooth against conditions like tooth decay, tooth decay leading to pain,
fracture or cracks in the tooth.
- At
AD&IC we focus on providing Root canal treatment to the patient
utilizing latest techniques of rotary Endodontics thereby reducing
clinical procedure time. The procedures usually take 40 to 50 minutes and
can be completed in one or two visits depending upon the condition of the
tooth.
- The
treatment is done under Local anaesthesia which makes it a painless
procedure.
- We
at AD&IC also practice digital record keeping which further ensures
higher quality and safer care for the patient.

SINGLE VISIT ROOT CANAL
TREATMENT
- At
AD&IC our well trained team is specialized to perform single visit
root canal treatment in less than an hour using advanced
endodontic technology incorporating latest rotary equipment, apex
locators, surgical operating microscope , digital radiography and lasers.
- To
ensure high degree of clinical success, patients are thoroughly examined
and appraised of clinical situation by our team and accordingly would
advise you for a single visit root canal treatment.
Is single visit Root Canal Treatment possible in all
patients?
- In
clinical conditions with extensive infections single visit Root
Canal Treatment is not advised.
- It
is possible in fractured teeth with close pulp (nerve) involvement, for
strategically significant teeth while planning an extensive prosthesis/
rehabilitation and teeth with minimal infection.
Briefly, in cases of
vital pulp, a single-visit treatment can be done whenever possible. This is
based on the fact that the pulp is only superficially infected and the root
canal is free of bacteria, provided the aseptic chain is maintained during the
intra canal procedures.
One visit endodontic
should be viewed as a procedure that supplements and complements total patient
care as it relates to endodontics and not as a technique that is going to
totally replace multi visit procedures.
CAD CAM RESTORATIONS
What is CAD CAM in
dentistry??
- For extensive decays and complex tooth fractures, complex restorations like ceramic inlays and onlays
are performed using CAD CAM (computer aided design/computer aided
manufacturing) technology.
- These restorations are fabricated in laboratory
employing design software.
Why use CAD CAM systems
to fabricate restorations?
Advantages: 1. Optimum strength and fit of the restoration
- Better quality compared to traditional
restorations
- Increased speed of designing
the restoration
- AD&IC is well trained in
CAD CAM technology and our support Jhonson’s Place Lab gives the best
support and helps deliver these precision restorations in quick
appointments (1-3days).
