Amalgam rejection
For a long time, amalgam was the most popular material for tooth preservation and is still the best-studied filling material known in dentistry. The aesthetics of this filling material are to be regarded as a disadvantage, which is why many patients wish to have the filling replaced by tooth-colored materials.
At our CASA DENTALIS dental practice in Berlin Lichterfelde, we make this wish come true. The amalgam drainage consists of removing the material under a protective rubber (rubber dam) and then treating the affected area depending on the size using tooth-colored composite fillings or inlays / onlays.

Endodontics
What does endodontics mean?
Endodontics is root canal treatment for tooth preservation. This is used when the nerve of a tooth (pulp) is inflamed or dead. With the latest technology, our dentists in Berlin at CASA DENTALIS are able to save even severely damaged or dead teeth.
How does root infection develop?
Pulp disease can have many causes; such as an infection in the tooth pockets, root cracks or a caries infections. As part of the root canal treatment, the inflamed tissue is removed by your dentist and the root canal is then filled. It is a complex and lengthy treatment, but showcases extremely high chances of success.
How does a root canal treatment work?
- At the beginning, your dentist from Berlin will take digital X-rays to measure the root canal in order to guarantee an optimal cleaning later.
- Then a cofferdam (arch-shaped clamp with a rubber band) is placed to protect the tooth from the influx of bacteria which can settle through saliva as well as to prevent swallowing the disinfectants.
- To gain access to the root canal, the tooth is drilled out and the infected tissue is removed.
- The root canal then goes through an antibacterial cleansing.
- Depending on the severity of the condition, a root canal treatment may extended to several appointments. If this is the case, your dentist will close the root canal with a temporary filling.
- In the final session, your dentist will fill the root canal with a special root filling material and uses a crown or filling to restore the tooth.
After several months, the success of the treatment can be checked using x-rays. With the help of a microscope, your dentists at CASA DENTALIS are able to detect the tiniest root canals and, thus, remove the entire tissue in pain to enable a successful root canal treatment.
Upon request, of course, all procedures can also be carried out at all CASA DENTALIS dental practices in Berlin under anesthesia or, if necessary, general anesthesia.
