Advanced Care for International Patients at Yeditepe University Dental Hospital
Root canal treatment is one of the most common procedures international patients seek when traveling to Turkey. It is a specialized area of dentistry known as endodontics, and at Yeditepe University Dental Hospital, these treatments are carried out by experienced endodontists using advanced technology and structured patient coordination.
How Root Canal Treatment Works
Root canal therapy is performed when the inner part of the tooth (the pulp) becomes infected or damaged. The procedure involves:
- Removing the infected tissue
- Cleaning and shaping the root canals
- Sealing the tooth to prevent reinfection
At Yeditepe, patients can even follow the procedure on a monitor, making the process transparent and reassuring.
Clinical Infrastructure
The hospital’s endodontics department is equipped with:
- Digital radiography and imaging systems for precise diagnosis
- Modern endodontic instruments for efficient cleaning and shaping
- Specialized operating units designed for patient comfort and safety
This infrastructure ensures that treatments are performed with accuracy and reliability.
Integration with Other Departments
After root canal therapy, international patients often require additional restorative or prosthetic care:
- Restorative Dentistry: Placement of fillings to restore tooth function.
- Prosthodontics: Crowns or prosthetic solutions to protect and strengthen the treated tooth.
This multidisciplinary approach ensures that treatment is completed comprehensively within the same hospital.
Treatment Duration
The length of root canal treatment depends on the patient’s condition:
- Single session: For straightforward cases.
- Multiple sessions: For complex infections or teeth requiring additional care.
Appointments are scheduled in advance by the international patient coordination unit, allowing patients to complete their treatment within their planned stay in Turkey.
