How Is Root Canal Treatment Performed?
Several crucial steps are usually persist in root canal therapy
Examination: To determine the state of the tooth and the degree of pulp injury, a comprehensive check-up is conducted using digital X-rays.
Anaesthesia: To make sure that the process for patients is painless, we use local anaesthetic
Tooth Isolation: Also during the procedure, the tooth is kept dry and isolated from other teeth.
Access Opening: To gain access to the pulp chamber for root canals, the dentist takes a tiny incision in the tooth’s crown.
Pulp Removal: The inflamed or infected pulp inside the tooth is removed using specialised tools.
Cleaning: Using rotary tools and antiseptic chemicals, the canals are completely cleared of germs and pulp residues.
Shaping: The canals are shaped to prepare them for proper filling.
Sealing: After cleaning and preparing the treated area, the canals are filled with a biocompatible material (gutta-percha) that prevents reinfection.
Temporary Filling: A temporary filling is used to save your tooth until a permanent restoration is done.
Crown or Filling: In order to fully restore functions and strength, a tooth that has treated root canal typically needs a permanent restoration, like a crown or filling.
