Endodontists deal with the treatment of infections, diseases and injuries of the tooth pulp (nerve chamber in the tooth). They save a damaged tooth by performing a root canal which removes decay on the interior space of the root.

Overview of Root Canal Treatment

Root Canal Treatment is a sequence of procedures for the pulp of the tooth which results in the elimination of infection and protection against future microbial infection. Root Canal Treatment involves removal of infected pulp chamber using series of instruments. The pulp chamber can be infected because of caries or trauma.

Why you may need a root canal

Teeth have a soft core known as dental pulp. The pulp extends from the crown — the visible a part of the tooth — to the tip of the tooth's root in the jawbone. The pulp contains nerves, blood vessels and connective tissue. When a tooth is cracked or has a deep cavity, bacteria can enter the pulp.

Once a tooth is cracked or encompasses a deep cavity, bacterium will enter the pulp. Left untreated, bacterium and decaying material will cause a significant infection or a tooth symptom, resulting in pulp death, bone loss and loss of the tooth itself.

Getting started on root canal treatment

A root canal is typically done by an endodontist or a general dentist. the root canal sometimes takes one to a few visits. First, you have got dental X-rays to see the extent of harm.

you also receive an area anesthetic to manage pain, which can be additional severe if the tooth is septic. Then a rubber-like sheet known as a dental dam is place in your mouth to stay the tooth clean, protected and freed from saliva. Decay is removed, and a gap is formed through the crown of the tooth to realize access to the pulp chamber. using tiny dental instruments, the infected or diseased pulp is removed.

Clearing up root canal infection

After the diseased pulp is removed, the pulp chamber and root canals are flushed and clean. the root canals could also be reshaped and enlarged to permit higher access for filling later. Before for good filling the root canals, they should be clean of all infection and dried.

Medication is typically place into the pulp chamber and root canal to clear any infection. The tooth could also be left open to drain for many days. If infection has unfold on the far side the tooth, you will want a prescription for antibiotics. If the root canal needs multiple visits, a short lived filling is placed within the crown to guard the tooth and exclude debris and secretion. Avoid biting or chewing on the tooth till it has been treated and fixed.

Filling the root canals

After cleanup and drying, it is time to fill the inside of the tooth — the empty pulp chamber and root canals. you'll not want further anesthetic for this step. If you had a short lived filling placed, which will be removed to permit access to the within of the tooth. A sealer paste and rubber compound is employed to fill the tooth, followed by a dental filling to form positive the root canals are protected against spittle.

Final stage of a root canal

The final stage of the root canal is restoring your tooth. Because the tooth typically encompasses a large filling or is weakened from extensive decay, it has to be shielded from future damage and returned to normal function.

This can be usually done by placing a crown — a realistic-looking artificial tooth. A crown is formed of gold, porcelain or porcelain fused to metal. It will be tinted to match the colour of your other teeth. Sometimes, a metal post must first be inserted within the tooth for structural support and to stay the crown in place. Ask your dentist or endodontist about other restoration options.
