What is canal filling?
The root canal (located in the tooth root) is a structural part of the tooth that contains the pulp (nerve and blood vessels). After the pulp is removed, the canals are filled with a filling material - this is necessary to restore the functions of the tooth, prevent the penetration of infectious agents, and the development of inflammatory processes.
At iStomatolog dental clinic in Kyiv, the latest Japanese materials with high biological compatibility with dental tissues are used for canal filling, which prevent inflammation in the bone tissue and the formation of tooth cysts.
Root canal filling involves filling it with special pastes. It can be temporary, for the treatment of inflammatory processes in the canal or tooth cysts, and permanent.
At iStomatolog, several methods are used for permanent canal filling, including hot gutta-percha and filling with Japanese paste with a gutta-percha pin.
Both methods of canal filling provide:
Hermetic closure of the main root canal and additional microchannels
Absence of paste washout from the canal
Destruction of residual microorganisms on the surface of the canal
Prevention of inflammation in the bone and formation of cysts

Basic requirements for canal filling
The success of dental treatment depends on the quality of canal filling and is evaluated based on such parameters as the lifespan of the tooth, functionality, and compliance with aesthetic standards. To ensure compliance with these criteria, the following requirements must be met:
- Maximum canal sealing
- Absence of irritation and allergic reactions to filling materials
- Chemical and biological neutrality of the material in the canal (does not dissolve in liquid environment, does not change qualitative properties over time)
- Good visibility of canal filling during X-ray diagnosis (necessary for quality control of filling)
- Ability to remove filling material from root canals (if necessary)
- Absence of shrinkage or dissolution after solidification.
Since root canals often have a convoluted shape and many branches, high-quality canal filling is a difficult task for a dentist. The presence of specialized equipment and the latest micro-tools helps the doctor to cope with the most difficult situations, without making mistakes.
However, the main factor in achieving high-quality root canal filling is the qualification of the specialist. Working with innovative equipment (optical, therapeutic, measuring, diagnostic) used in modern dentistry requires special training and practical skills.
To prevent the development of complications after pulpitis treatment, which often occur in patients with weakened immunity, our clinic pays special attention to disinfection of root canals.
Sterilization of canals with the HealOzone device
The HealOzone device is used to destroy foci of bacterial, viral, and fungal infections. Ozone treatment promotes the resorption of cysts and granulomas and the restoration of bone tissue after inflammation in the root canals.
The most important property of ozone is its local effect on the pathogenic environment without causing any harm to healthy tissues, including sensitive mucous membranes. Ozone is the most effective disinfectant, destroying almost 100% of known infectious agents, while pathogenic microorganisms lack genetic resistance to the disinfectant.
We use the KaVo HealOzone device in the treatment of pulpitis, soft tissues, and various types of caries (including in children) due to its absolute safety and consistently high effectiveness.
Laser canal treatment
Sterilization of canals using laser radiation is an innovative direction in dentistry. During manipulations, photothermal, photochemical, and photomechanical properties of different lasers are used in the framework of endodontic treatment when interacting with tissues. The thermal energy generated by pulsed laser radiation selectively affects pathogenic foci and has a disinfecting effect on dentin, bone, and soft tissues.
In addition to disinfecting properties, laser light creates additional effects:
- reduces the severity of the inflammatory process;
- activates microcirculation in tissues, increases the content of oxygen;
- stimulates the regeneration of new cells;
- prevents bleeding (has the property of coagulating small vessels);
- accelerates the healing of open wounds;
- prevents the formation of scar tissue;
- has bacteriostatic and bactericidal properties;
- enhances local immunity.
Laser disinfection is carried out after the removal of pulp and the measurement of the working length of the canals. A special endodontic laser tip with a fiber optic cable is used for sterilization, which is inserted into the pre-treated and dried canal, not reaching the apical constriction area by 2 mm. Diode and erbium lasers (short and mid-infrared range) are used in combination with irrigation with EDTA and "Parkan" solution for filling root canals.
The working parameters (time, speed, and depth of pulse impact) are set by the dentist on the device. Thanks to thin and flexible fiber optic cables, root canals can be completely treated with laser radiation, including complex tortuous passages and branches.
Quality control of canal filling
Quality control of canal treatment and filling is performed at all stages, but the most important indicator of a dentist's work is radiographic control. Even when performing manipulations under a microscope, a doctor may make inaccuracies that will negatively affect the overall result. The image on the X-ray will allow you to identify:
- empty (unfilled) areas of the canals;
- elongated pins (protruding beyond the apex of the root);
- incorrect position of the pin;
- remnants of filling material;
- fragments of instruments.
A three-dimensional image obtained on a computer tomograph allows for an objective assessment of the quality of work. We conduct a study in three projections before starting work on the tooth, apply X-ray control during canal filling, evaluate the final result to exclude the possibility of the slightest inaccuracies.

Keeping healthy teeth is not easy, but they can be effectively treated at an early stage. Only a few patients take advantage of this opportunity, so our specialists regularly face the challenge of solving difficult problems. Often, it is necessary to redo dental work due to poor quality in previous periods.

Reviews about iStomatolog
Що мене очікувало в центрі iStomatolog.
1. Відсутність очікування біля кабінету.
2. Відсутність зайвого. Персонал і лікарі тебе не обтяжують. Їх стільки, скільки має бути.
3. Без сумніву професіоналізм. Тебе вислухать, і обов'язково запропонують варіанти лікування. Що безцінно, це те, що тобі в першу чергу будуть пропонувати максимально зберегти свої зуби.
4. Відсутність бажання затягнути процес лікування на рік (якщо у тебе проблема не одного чи двох зубів). Головне, щоб дозволяли працювати ясна (їх стан).
5. Матеріали з якими працюють лікарі. Це виключно японський виробник.
І нарешті результат, який я навіть вже і не очікувала.
Лена, дякую тобі ВЕЛИЧЕЗНЕ за твою роботу. Тобі і твоїй команді.
Але тут працюють дуже відповідальні, приємні і турботливі професіонали! Дякую всій команді цієї стоматології, і окремо дякую моєму стоматологу Пекарському Віталію за прекрасну роботу. Тепер я і солодке їм без болі, і більше посміхаюсь ☺️
Я із задоволенням буду ходити тільки до вас 😊
Всі лікарі уважні, професійні, з щирою турботою про пацієнта. Запам'яталось, як мені років п'ять тому довго і терпляче спасали майже безнадійний зуб, зіпсований в іншій клініці — спасли, стоїть свій зуб, а міг би вже бути імплант.
Дуже рекомендую.
