Title: Endodontic system obturation – Dr. Oana Radu, Dr. Ciocan P. Andreea-Elena, As. Univ Dr. Sitaru Patricia

Dr. Radu Oana, graduated from the Faculty of Dentistry at the University “Titu Maiorescu”, Bucharest in 2020 and finished the Pediatric Dentistry program at UMF “Victor Babeș” Timișoara. Currently, she is doing her second residency program in General Dentistry at the University “Vasile Goldiș”, Arad.

A first step in the attempt to save and preserve teeth for as long as possible is to perform a complete and correct endodontic treatment.

The demand for quality endodontic treatment has increased significantly in recent years. Treatment techniques supported by scientific studies, the ability to choose from newly developed materials and the continuous advancement of endodontic equipment have had a positive impact on the understanding and efficiency of endodontic treatment, leading to a significant increase in predictability and safety.

The future of endodontics is promising, and the demand for treatment and retreatment will increase significantly in the coming years.

However, not all failures can be turned into successes through non-surgical techniques. Clinicians must weigh the risk against the benefit and recognize that, at times, surgical intervention or extraction may be in the patient’s best interest.

Interdisciplinary cooperation is the foundation for professional fulfillment, patient satisfaction, and long-term success. Accordingly, endodontic treatment is the cornerstone of restorative and reconstructive dentistry.
