It is known that when a tooth is interrupted depulpirovanii supply its hard tissue from the vasculature and nervous disorders of the nervous system, resulting in tooth over time becomes more brittle and prone to all sorts of destruction and overloads. Often volume seal mounted on a tooth, unable to withstand masticatory forces, and gradually begin to happen chips, and even worse, spalling of whole walls of the tooth or filling.

In a remote tooth pulp specially treated root canal, expand it and set the pin, fixing the special dental cement or light-cured composite. After that, put the seal. The result is a single monolithic structure capable of sustaining vertical and lateral chewing load, without destroying the tooth structure and without causing chipping. In some cases, according to testimony at the restored tooth crown set with a pin made ​​of metal, metal-ceramic, zirconia, and other advanced materials. Such a tooth becomes fully protected from external influences and destruction.

Separately, emit so-called parapulparnye pins whose purpose - reinforcement heavily damaged, but vital, living tooth. They are installed next to the pulp in the saved, not damaged caries process and hard tissues are additional mechanical connecting element of the remainder of the tooth with a filling. This recovery option is particularly relevant in the posterior teeth, where the load when eating reaches the limit.
