What is a granuloma, what are the symptoms, and how is it treated?
A granuloma is an inflammatory process that develops at the tip of the tooth root, most often as a result of untreated or inadequately treated tooth decay. Bacteria penetrate the root canals of the tooth and affect its internal structures – first the dentin, then the pulp – which ultimately leads to nerve inflammation.
In the early stages, a granuloma may be asymptomatic, so patients are often unaware of its presence. If the condition worsens, it becomes acute, and the following symptoms may occur.
Pain
Swelling
Sensitivity
Spasms of the chewing muscles
Fever
Enlarged lymph nodes
Bad breath
Formation of a fistula
The main therapy for treating granuloma is endodontic treatment of the tooth.
What is endodontic treatment?
Endodontic (root canal) treatment – also known as “nerve treatment” – is a dental procedure used to save a tooth affected by deep inflammation or infection of the dental pulp. This procedure prevents the spread of infection and further complications, preserves the natural tooth, and ensures a long-term healthy smile.
Endodontics is performed when the dental pulp is irreversibly damaged due to bacterial penetration into the tooth as a result of various pathological processes, such as:
-
Deep tooth decay
-
Tooth trauma
-
Tooth fracture or crack
-
Recurrent infections beneath an old filling
In many cases, the patient may not immediately realize that there is a nerve problem, since symptoms can be mild or unclear. However, if left untreated, the inflammation can lead to complications such as abscesses, granulomas, and even tooth loss.
If a tooth is properly treated and restored, it can last for many years – even a lifetime!
How does endodontic treatment work?
During the initial consultation, the dentist reviews your X-ray to determine the extent of the damage and plan the therapy. The decayed portion of the tooth and the infected pulp are removed under local anesthesia. The root canals are then thoroughly cleaned, disinfected, and shaped to eliminate bacteria and infected dentin.
At IMED Clinic, we use the latest rotary instrumentation, including single-use tools from leading global brands. These systems allow safe and effective treatment of even complex, curved canals, ensuring maximum sterility and minimal risk of complications.
After cleaning, the canals are sealed, and the tooth is restored with a composite filling or prosthetic crown to prevent reinfection and restore functionality and aesthetics. At IMED, we use the newest generation of bioceramic sealers, which provide high biocompatibility, complete bacterial sealing, and actively support surrounding tissue regeneration.
Endodontic retreatment
The success of endodontic therapy is monitored over time. Immediately after the procedure, a control X-ray is taken to confirm that the canals have been properly filled to the tip.
At the follow-up appointment, usually 6 months later, another X-ray is performed to check whether the periapical lesion around the treated tooth root is healing.
Endodontic treatment has a very high success rate – over 90%. However, in rare cases, infection may return – most often due to complex canal anatomy or leakage of the filling. In such cases, retreatment (repeating the procedure) may be indicated.
Advantages of endodontic therapy compared to tooth extraction
-
Natural tooth preservation – keeping your own tooth is always better than extraction.
-
Prevents shifting of adjacent teeth – tooth loss can lead to bite problems and affect smile aesthetics.
-
Long-term, stable solution – with proper care, a treated tooth can last a lifetime.
- Less invasive and more cost-effective – compared to implants or bridges, endodontics is often a simpler and more affordable option.
