What is a root canal treatment and its steps?

Root canal treatment is an immediate pain reliever and the best treatment to remember the natural teeth mechanism. Root canal method can reserve your tooth from disease, falloff but a root canal helps to preserve the tooth so you won’t need a tooth extraction. This treatment which is also popular as endodontic treatment, includes in removing the infected tooth pulp. The purified area is then replaced with an inert filling such as gutta-percha, along with a cement or sealer. In most cases, the tooth is covered with a crown.
Process of RCT
A root canal is an endodontic technique in which our renowned dentist Dr. Balajee.j removes a diseased or swollen dental pulp.
The dental pulp is the softest tissue and the inner construction of the teeth that comprises blood vessels, connecting tissue, and nerves. These pulpsoffer blood supply and nerve supply to the tooth. Once the pulp becomes tender or infected by a disease, falloff or direct trauma to the tooth, most patients will notice severe pain.
We eradicate the infected pulp which is inflamed or dead and clean out the whole root of the tooth and sealed it with artificial material to remove pain.
Steps of the root canel treatment
• Diagnosis by clinical check-up and x-ray
• Opening the root canal with the help of local anaesthesia
• The diseased pulp is detached, canals are cleaned and shaped.
• Canals are then filled forever with a tapered rubbery material called gutta-percha and sealed.
• Placing a crown on the tooth to avert fracture.
