Root canal treatment Krakow
For diseases of the tooth pulp (commonly known as the nerve), usually resulting from tooth decay, endodontic treatment is necessary. Root canal treatment Krakow involves the thorough removal of the infected pulp, tightly filling the canals with biocompatible material to prevent the growth of bacteria, and then restoring the damaged tooth.

State-of-the-art treatment methods
At maxx clinic we use state-of-the-art endodontic treatment methods including microscopic treatment permitting higher magnification and optimal lighting of the treatment area, which allows for better access to the pulp chamber and careful examination of the exact shape of the root canal system. We also use the microscope in the treatment of root canals that are difficult to access or are irregularly shaped or placed. The magnifying device is also used in procedures involving the removal of parts of endodontic tools left behind inside the canal.
Owing to its high precision, microscopic root canal treatment is more efficient and less painful than traditional endodontic treatment.
