Root Canal Root Canal therapy also known as

Endodontic therapy is a sequence of treatment for the pulp of a tooth which involves the elimination of infection and

protection of the decontaminated tooth from future bacterial

problems. Root canals and their associated pulp chamber are the physical hollows within a tooth

that are naturally inhabited by nerve tissue, blood vessels and

other cellular entities.

Root canal involves the removal of these

structures, the subsequent shaping, cleaning, and decontamination of the

canal shaped hollows with tiny files and irrigating

solutions, and the obturation of the

decontaminated canals with an inert filling such

as gutta percha and typically a eugenol-based

cement. 

The Procedure Tooth infection is one of the most feared dental conditions because of the ferocity of the

pain. It is better to get it diagnosed early but when a

tooth is considered so threatened (because of decay,

cracking, etc.) that future infection is considered inevitable, a pulpectomy or a removal of the pulp tissue, is advised to prevent the infection. It is usually found that some inflammation and/or

infection is already present within or below the tooth.

Root canal treatment consists of several steps that take place over several office visits, depending on the situation. These steps are:

First, an opening is made to access the damaged pulp.

After the removal of the diseased pulp, the pulp chamber and root canals are cleaned, enlarged and shaped for filling.

Sometimes, a temporary filling is made to protect the tooth between dental visits..

Root Canal Procedure: Drilling, cleaning and filling of the infected teeth.

The temporary filling is removed and the pulp chamber and root canal permanently filled and sealed into place. Sometimes structural supports are given with a metal or plastic rod..

Finally, a crown is placed over the tooth to restore its natural shape and appearance.

Once treated, teeth with Root Canal Treatment can function almost like normal teeth and last really long depending on the care taken.

Innovations in the field

In recent decades, there have been great innovations in the art

and science of root canal therapy. Dentists now must be

educated on the current concepts in order to optimally

perform a root canal. Root canal therapy has become more

automated and can be performed faster, thanks to

advances in automated mechanical instrumentation of teeth and more advanced root

canal filling methods.

Dentists also possess newer technologies that allow more

efficient, scientific measurements to be taken of the dimensions of the root canal that must be filled.

Many dentists use dental loupes to perform root

canals, and the consensus is that root canals performed using

loupes or other forms of magnification are more likely to succeed than those performed

without them.
