Root Canal Treatement
What is root canal treatment ?
Endodontic treatment, commonly referred to as root canal treatment, is a dental operation used to save a tooth that has become infected or badly decaying. The aim of root canal therapy is to clean the root canal system, which is made up of the pulp chamber and the root canals, and remove any infected or damaged pulp (the soft tissue within the tooth).
Here's a step-by-step overview of the root canal treatment process:
- Access: To gain access to the pulp chamber for root canals, the dentist makes a hole in the tooth's crown. Dental drills and other specialized tools are frequently used for this.
- Removal of infected tissue: Tiny instruments are used to delicately remove any diseased or damaged pulp tissue from the tooth's pulp chamber and root canals. In order to clear away debris and sanitize the region, the dentist may also employ irrigation treatments.
- Cleaning and shaping: The root canals are cleaned and shaped by the dentist using specialized files. Any calculus or infectious material that remains is also removed. To make sure there are no bacteria in the canals, they are carefully cleaned and watered.
- Filling the canals: The canals are filled with a biocompatible substance called gutta-percha after they have been cleaned and dried. A dental adhesive is used to seal the gutta-percha once it has been inserted into the canals. In addition to restoring the tooth's structural integrity, this aids in preventing re-infection
- Restoration: To restore the tooth's functioning and look following root canal therapy, a dental crown or filling may be necessary. The dentist could initially insert a temporary restoration before subsequently replacing it with a permanent one.
Who needs the service?
When the dental pulp within a tooth gets infected or damaged, root canal therapy is required. This can occur due to deep decay, repeated dental procedures on the same tooth, trauma, or cracks in the tooth. People who have a severe toothache, extreme sensitivity to heat or cold, swelling, or discomfort around a tooth, may need root canal therapy. The treatment seeks to preserve the tooth and reduce discomfort.
