Treatment of pulpitis in Amerident Grupo Odontológico

Amerident Grupo Odontológico is a private multi-specialty dental group in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. Dr. Oscar Hasbún Selman founded the clinic in 1994. The group operates several branches across the city, including Naco, Ozama, Los Próceres, and El Millón.

The clinic provides dental care nationwide with over 30 years of experience. Since opening, the team has treated more than 500,000 patients. All branches follow standardized biosecurity protocols.

Advanced Diagnostics and Digital Dentistry

Amerident uses a fully digital workflow for diagnosis and treatment planning. Specialists use dental CBCT (Cone Beam Computed Tomography) to create 3D images of teeth, jaw bones, and sinuses. This helps plan complex procedures with high precision.

Diagnostic capabilities include:

• Digital radiographs with lower radiation exposure than traditional methods
• 3D intraoral scanning to replace uncomfortable traditional impressions
• Panoramic and periapical X-rays
• Cerec Omnicam digital diagnostic models

These tools let doctors create detailed treatment plans before starting clinical work.

Restorative and Aesthetic Procedures

The clinic has an in-house CAD-CAM laboratory. This facility uses digital software and precision milling to design and manufacture dental prosthetics. Patients can receive crowns, veneers, and bridges made from porcelain or zirconia on-site.

For tooth replacement, the group offers:

• Prótesis Fija Express for immediate restoration of one or more teeth
• Fixed prostheses supported by teeth or implants
• Complete and partial dentures
• Aesthetic removable prostheses

All-on-4 and All-on-2 implant protocols are available for full arch restoration. Laser dentistry is also used for gum contouring – this achieves aesthetic results without a scalpel.

Specialized Orthodontics and Pediatric Care

The orthodontics department offers Ortodoncia Invisible. This system uses transparent, removable aligners designed with 3D simulation. Traditional metal, ceramic, and sapphire brackets are also available.

AmeriKids is the dedicated pediatric unit. It focuses on prevention and early intervention using specialized methods:

• Fluoride application and dental prophylaxis
• Dental sealants to prevent cavities
• Minimally invasive caries treatment
• Interceptive and habit-correcting orthodontics

The pediatric team emphasizes empathy to create a positive experience for young patients.

Oral Surgery and Endodontics

Surgeons at Amerident perform oral and maxillofacial procedures. These include wisdom tooth extraction, removal of oral cysts, and dental implant placement. Laser technology is often used in minor surgeries to reduce bleeding and speed recovery.

The endodontics team focuses on saving damaged teeth through minimally invasive root canal treatments. These procedures eliminate infection and relieve pain while preserving natural tooth structure. Specialists use CBCT imaging to map root canals before treatment begins.

Services for International Patients

Amerident coordinates care for patients traveling from abroad. Staff optimize treatment schedules so all necessary procedures are completed during the patient's stay. This reduces the number of visits needed for complex restorative work.
