Thanks to the use of these techniques, the patient receives a minimum dose of radiation, the endodontist obtains more accurate results and the time that the patient has to be with the mouth open is shortened.

As for state-of-the-art treatment techniques, we use rotary instrumentation systems and files made of superelastic alloys, which provide greater accuracy and efficiency in the treatment, minimizing the possibility of accidents and allowing us to offer an excellent result.

The alternative is extraction and since this is an irreversible fact, we will always propose the endodontics first. At present, there is nothing that offers a better chance of success than preserving your own tooth if the treatment is carried out properly.
