What is a Root Canal Treatment?

A root canal treatment — medically termed Wurzelkanalbehandlung (root canal therapy) or endodontics — is a tooth-preserving procedure that removes inflamed or dead dental pulp (the so-called pulp) from inside a tooth. The pulp is the living tissue within the tooth: a complex network of blood vessels, nerve fibres and connective tissue that extends from the coronal pulp chamber through the fine root canals all the way to the root apex.

When bacteria — usually through deep decay, a dental injury or cracks in the tooth — reach the pulp, inflammation develops (pulpitis). In advanced stages the pulp cells die (pulp necrosis) and bacteria spread through the root canals to the surrounding bone and soft tissue. The result is a periapical lesion — a focus of infection at the root tip that appears as a dark shadow on X-ray and can cause significant pain and swelling.

Root canal treatment solves this problem by completely removing the inflamed or necrotic pulp, thoroughly cleaning and disinfecting the canals, and then permanently sealing them with a biocompatible material. The tooth remains in the jawbone — it simply loses its vitality, but can continue to perform normal chewing function.

The poor reputation of root canal treatment comes from a bygone era without local anaesthesia and without modern magnification technology. With contemporary anaesthesia and microscopic precision, treatment today is largely pain-free — and significantly more effective than in the past.

Why Saving the Tooth Always Comes First

The most important principle of modern dentistry is: preserve the natural tooth before considering replacement. Your own treated tooth is biologically, functionally and economically superior to the alternative — extraction followed by an implant — in almost every case.

The jawbone around the tooth is maintained through natural chewing forces. An implant can also preserve bone, but first requires extraction, a healing period of three to six months and a surgical procedure. The total cost of an implant — including abutment and crown — typically ranges between €2,000 and €4,000, whereas the patient co-payment for modern root canal treatment is generally between €150 and €600. Investing in tooth preservation pays off on multiple levels — biologically, functionally and financially.

Symptoms — When Is Root Canal Treatment Necessary?

Not every toothache immediately requires root canal treatment — but certain types of pain and clinical signs are clear warning signals. The earlier endodontic treatment is initiated, the higher the success rate and the less extensive the procedure needed.

Spontaneous pain (irreversible pulpitis): A persistent, self-starting pain — often throbbing, worse at night — is the classic sign of irreversible pulpitis. The pulp is so severely inflamed that it can no longer heal itself. Root canal treatment is unavoidable at this stage.

Bite sensitivity (apical periodontitis): Pain when chewing or biting on the affected tooth indicates inflammation in the area of the root apex. The periodontal ligaments — the fibres anchoring the tooth in the bone — are inflamed and react to pressure.

Cold and heat sensitivity: Brief, quickly subsiding cold sensitivity often indicates reversible pulpitis, which can still be treated by conservative measures. If the pain persists for more than 30 seconds after removal of the stimulus, this points to irreversible pulpitis requiring root canal treatment. Strong heat sensitivity is frequently a sign of advanced inflammation.

Discoloured tooth (non-vital tooth): A progressive grey or yellow discolouration of a single tooth can indicate a dead pulp — often without any pain at all, because the nerve fibres are no longer functioning.

Swelling or sinus tract (abscess): Swelling of the gum above the affected tooth, a pimple-like sinus tract or even facial swelling are signs of an acute abscess. Immediate action is required.

Trauma (dental injury): After a dental injury — a fall, sports accident or blow — the pulp can die even without visible damage. Regular check-ups after trauma are important to monitor the condition of the pulp.

The key message: Early diagnosis and treatment significantly improve the prognosis. Do not wait with persistent symptoms — contact us at 089/95 00 167.

Microscopic Endodontics — The Decisive Difference

The single most important innovation in modern endodontics is the dental operating microscope. It changes everything: what the dentist sees, what they find, and ultimately, how successful the treatment is. At our practice in Munich-Oberföhring the microscope is not an optional extra — it is standard for every root canal treatment.

What the microscope achieves: At 25× magnification combined with coaxial cold-light illumination, the clinician sees details that are simply invisible to the naked eye or a basic loupe. These include:

Hidden canals — the MB2 canal in the upper molar (the second mesiobuccal canal) is missed in up to 50% of cases when treatment is performed without a microscope. Untreated canals are the most common cause of root canal treatment failure.
Calcified (mineralised) canals — canals narrow with age. Under the microscope even severely calcified canals can be safely located and prepared.
Hairline cracks and fractures — a crack that jeopardises the long-term prognosis of the tooth is often undetectable without magnification. The microscope reveals it before the complex treatment begins.
Perforations and anatomical variants — rare but clinically relevant findings that can be safely identified and managed under microscopic vision.

Success rates compared:

Root canal treatment without magnification: approx. 70% long-term success
Root canal treatment with operating microscope: 90–95% long-term success

This difference is clinically significant: one in five conventionally treated teeth needs to be re-treated or extracted in the medium term. The microscope cuts this risk by more than half.

Why do so few practices offer it? A high-quality dental operating microscope costs €50,000 to €100,000. This is compounded by intensive training: working under the microscope requires different hand movements and a specific learning curve. Many practices shy away from this investment. At our practice the microscope is integrated into every root canal treatment — Dr. Corinna Koderer has specialised in this very technique through multi-year curricula (Penn Tec2, Diemer Lege artis).

Root Canal Treatment in 7 Steps

Root canal treatment at our practice follows a structured, evidence-based protocol. Most treatments are completed in one to two sessions of 60–90 minutes each. Complex cases (severe infection, many canals, revision) may require two to three sessions.

1. CBCT Diagnostics — Three-Dimensional Planning

Before treatment we take a three-dimensional X-ray (CBCT — Cone Beam Computed Tomography) where needed. Unlike a conventional radiograph, the CBCT shows the exact canal anatomy, number and course of canals, periapical lesions and any fractures in all three spatial planes. This information is crucial for treatment planning — especially for complex molars, revisions or anatomical variations. For straightforward cases a high-quality 2D radiograph is often sufficient.

2. Anaesthesia — Completely Pain-Free

We use the most modern anaesthetic techniques so that you feel nothing throughout the entire treatment. For mandibular molars — the most challenging teeth for classical inferior alveolar nerve block — we use intraligamentary anaesthesia (ILA) where needed. This is administered directly into the periodontal space and provides reliable numbness even in the presence of acute inflammation. You will notice nothing except a slight pressure.

3. Kofferdam (Rubber Dam) Isolation — The Gold Standard of Endodontics

The Kofferdam (rubber dam) is a thin rubber sheet that isolates the tooth being treated from the rest of the oral cavity. It serves three critical functions: it creates a sterile working field, prevents contamination of the cleaned canals with saliva bacteria, and protects you as the patient — no accidental swallowing of irrigating solutions or instruments. The ESE (European Society of Endodontology) declares rubber dam use an indispensable standard. In our practice it is mandatory.

4. Canal Shaping — Rotary NiTi Files

Under the operating microscope all canals are shaped with rotary nickel-titanium (NiTi) files. NiTi files are flexible, follow the natural canal path without straightening artefacts, and in single-use operation are significantly safer than reused steel instruments. The motor-driven torque-controlled system minimises the fracture risk to below 1%. All canals are shaped to a uniform taper that optimises subsequent disinfection and obturation.

5. Disinfection — Ultrasonic-Activated Irrigation

Mechanical shaping alone is not enough — the canal walls are traversed by a complex network of lateral canals that no instrument can reach. We therefore irrigate with sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) and EDTA under ultrasonic activation. The cavitation waves generated by ultrasound transport the irrigating solution into even the finest ramifications and substantially increase the disinfecting effect. In severely infected teeth a medicament dressing (calcium hydroxide) is placed for several weeks before the final filling is completed.

6. Obturation — Thermoplastic Root Canal Filling

The cleaned and disinfected canals are sealed three-dimensionally using the thermoplastic (warm) obturation technique. Gutta-percha (a biocompatible natural material) is warmed and condensed into the canals — this completely fills lateral canals and irregularities as well. This is complemented by a biocompatible sealer (e.g. calcium-silicate-based). The hermetic seal prevents re-colonisation by bacteria and is decisive for the longevity of the treatment.

7. Restoration — Adhesive Core Build-Up and Crown

After the root filling the tooth must be definitively restored as soon as possible. We place an adhesive composite core build-up that protects the tooth structure and supports the crown or filling. For posterior teeth a ceramic crown is appropriate in most cases: it protects the treated tooth from longitudinal fractures, which are an elevated risk for endodontically treated teeth without adequate cuspal coverage. For front teeth a high-quality composite filling is frequently sufficient. We will discuss the exact restoration plan with you before treatment.
