Tooth reconstruction with an endodontic screw or post

KEIT Dental has seven treatment rooms dedicated to dental care, organised to accommodate restorative dentistry, endodontics, implantology, and prosthetic rehabilitation procedures. For tooth reconstruction, appropriate diagnostic and restorative instruments allow the dentist to assess the remaining tooth structure and plan treatment while preserving healthy tissue whenever possible. The use of composite materials, adhesive systems, and dental cements selected according to the clinical case allows personalised restorations to be created, with particular attention to precision, functionality, and aesthetic integration with the natural teeth.

One of the main advantages of KEIT Dental is its ability to combine dental expertise with the multidisciplinary medical team at KEIT Day Hospital. The clinic works with professionals experienced in restorative dentistry, endodontics, implantology, and dental prosthetics. In particularly complex cases, oral and maxillofacial surgeons and other medical specialists may also be involved, depending on clinical needs.

When reconstructing severely damaged teeth, collaboration between professionals allows the assessment of the roots, restoration of tooth structure, and any necessary prosthetic rehabilitation to be coordinated. This approach makes it possible to address the patient's different needs through a coordinated treatment plan, including cases requiring additional specialist expertise.

Before tooth reconstruction, the dentist assesses the condition of the tooth, surrounding tissues, and occlusion, using radiographic examinations when indicated. Particular attention is paid to the amount of remaining healthy tooth structure, the integrity of the roots, and the possibility of achieving a stable restoration. An intraradicular post is not necessary for every root canal-treated tooth: it is used when additional retention is needed for the restoration, rather than to directly strengthen the root.

Thanks to its integration with KEIT Day Hospital, patients with particular medical conditions or those requiring more complex procedures may undergo assessments by anaesthetists, cardiologists, or other specialists, together with any necessary diagnostic evaluations. Treatment planning therefore considers both whether the tooth can be preserved and the patient's general health.

One of KEIT Dental's distinguishing features is its in-house dental laboratory, which facilitates direct collaboration between dentists and dental technicians in producing restorations and prosthetic rehabilitations. When tooth reconstruction requires a crown, an onlay, or another indirect restoration, the laboratory contributes to designing a customised restoration in terms of shape, colour, dimensions, and occlusal relationships.
Coordination between the clinic and laboratory allows clinical requirements and technical details to be shared, with particular attention to the precision of fit, chewing function, and the aesthetic harmony of the result.

KEIT Dental follows hygiene and infection control protocols that include disinfecting treatment areas, sterilising instruments, and using disposable materials when indicated. During endodontic procedures, isolating the treatment area, including with a rubber dam, is important to minimise contamination from saliva and bacteria.

Integration with KEIT Day Hospital provides additional support for managing complex dental cases. The facility has three equipped operating theatres, specialists in anaesthesia and intensive care, vital signs monitoring systems, and a postoperative resuscitation room.

Conventional tooth reconstruction procedures are generally performed under local anaesthesia. However, for more complex dental or oral and maxillofacial procedures, general anaesthesia may be used within the hospital facility when clinically indicated and following an appropriate anaesthetic assessment.

For cases requiring prolonged monitoring or specific postoperative care, admission to KEIT Day Hospital's inpatient wards can also be arranged. These wards are equipped with healthcare staff and monitoring systems. This integration allows treatment to be organised according to the level of care required by the patient's condition and the complexity of the procedure.

At KEIT Dental, patient care continues after tooth reconstruction through personalised guidance and follow-up appointments scheduled according to clinical needs. Subsequent examinations allow the dentist to assess the stability of the restoration, the integrity of its margins, occlusal contacts, and any signs of leakage or fractures.

For root canal-treated teeth, additional radiographic examinations may be recommended to monitor the condition of the roots. In complex cases, follow-up care may also involve other specialists from the KEIT team, depending on the patient's needs. For international patients, care may continue after they return to their home country through communication with the clinic and guidance on necessary follow-up appointments.

KEIT Dental places particular emphasis on treatment transparency and clinical documentation. Before tooth reconstruction, patients receive information about the proposed procedure, available alternatives, expected benefits, and potential risks.

Clinical documentation includes diagnostic examinations, the treatment plan, and the procedures performed. The informed consent form and treatment quotation also allow patients to understand the details of the treatment and its associated costs. Any applicable guarantee conditions are specified in the contractual documentation, clarifying the coverage provided, exclusions, and arrangements for assistance.
