How to treat chronic apical periodontitis

Chronic apical periodontitis is a common oral disease, mainly caused by bacterial infection in the root canal. If not treated in time, it may lead to tooth loosening and loss. Root canal therapy: This is the main method to treat chronic apical periodontitis. Root canal filling is done by removing infectious substances from the root canal to eliminate inflammation. 2. Periodontal therapy: scaling, scaling and root planing are included to remove dental calculus and plaque around the teeth and control the development of periodontitis. 3. Surgical treatment: In some cases, such as severe root resorption or greater destruction of alveolar bone, surgical treatment may be required, such as apexectomy or osteoplasty. 4. Medical treatment: Antibiotics can be used to control infection and relieve symptoms. 5. Regular review: Regular review is required after treatment to ensure that the disease is under control and the stability of the teeth is good. It should be noted that for special groups such as pregnant women and children, treatment methods may vary and need to be carried out under the guidance of a doctor. At the same time, maintaining good oral hygiene habits, such as brushing and flossing, is also very important for the prevention and treatment of chronic apical periodontitis. In short, the treatment of chronic apical periodontitis requires comprehensive consideration of the specific conditions of patients and individualized treatment. Timely treatment can effectively control the disease and protect the health of teeth.
