Depoforez

Depoforez - one of the modern methods of treatment of root canal, as an effective medication which uses copper-calcium hydroxide. In addition to the treatment of the main canal, this method allows you to process side branches, sterilizing them. Depoforez is an effective additional method of therapy as the standard treatment does not always provide their full channel processing, sterilization and sealing.

Depoforez in dentistry was opened not long ago. The author of this technology is the German professor Adolf Knappvost. It was he who suggested to handle channels tooth depoforeza, the clinical efficacy of the treatment which reaches 96%. In the CIS technique was used in the late 90's - early 2000s.

Benefits depoforeza

• Clinical efficacy of treatment - 96%.
  
• Minimal loss of tooth structure that contributes to the preservation of its integrity for many years.
  
• Small risk of perforation of the wall and the root (the output of the cavity walls and the root of the tooth).
  
• Low probability of therapeutic and restorative material for the apex.
  
• Disinfection of channels that are not available for machining.
  
• Minimal risk of secondary infection development.
  
• Save time and money.
  

Application depoforeza in dentistry is shown primarily in the treatment of teeth with impassable and curved channels. In addition, this method is recommended for use in the presence of unproductive residual pulp (tissue that fills the cavity of the tooth and containing a large amount of blood vessels and nerves), the presence of the missing root canal re-treatment of teeth, broken off when the instrument in the lumen of the channel.

Depoforeza method has a few, but nevertheless important contraindications. These include cancer, pregnancy, intolerance to electric current, allergic to copper, the presence of ulcers in the area of ​​the tooth and gums.

Depoforez held in session 3, the interval between treatments at 8-14 days in average.

Methodology depoforeza
The first thing reveal a cavity, tooth cavity reveal itself and create access for further treatment. If living tooth pulp, it deaden with special pastes. For effective treatment, the method is conducted in three visits.

• In the first visit, and purified by channels extend approximately 2/3 of the entire length. Entrance into the channels extend slightly larger compared with the channel itself. After this treatment the recommended channel rinsed with distilled water or dilute copper suzpenziey calcium hydroxide.
  

After channel processing tooth is dried. The patient should be positioned so that the drug does not flow from the cavity of the tooth. In the treatment of mandibular teeth - the patient must sit, and the treatment of the upper jaw - lying in a chair with his head thrown back. The drug is diluted with water and injected into the treated portion of the channel with a special tool. Then injected into the canal negative electrode (cathode), wherein the cavity is open. Contact with saliva or blood in the cavity reduces the efficiency of treatment. The positive electrode (anode), have on the opposite side of the cheek. Very often, patients may irritation in the mouth and to avoid this, the angle of the mouth is usually smeared any liquid. After the start of the procedure, the current strength is increased until until the feeling of heat and current. And then the current strength is reduced. Electricity produced during the same session on the same channel should be equal to 5 mA / min. After completion of the first session of a tooth cavity is washed with water, and then adding a new portion of the drug, and this cavity is sealed by a drug. The next visit is prescribed by 8-14 days.

• During the second visit to conduct similar manipulations.
  
• In the third - during depofereza per channel is carried 15mA / min electricity. After that, the channel seal up special medication, which is part of depoforeza.

Before the agreement on the treatment of this technique should always be familiar with patient testimonials. But we must remember that the first priority is the experience and expertise of the attending physician. This procedure can be carried out as a successful result, and with negative consequences. But let's not forget that every body is different. And the way he will accept this method of treatment can not be thoroughly familiar. 90% of patients positive about the method of treatment canals depoforeza.

To date, analyzing prices in the clinics, it can be argued that depoforez is one of the cheapest methods of treatment in therapeutic dentistry
