Earlier,
a badly infected tooth, or one that just had significant decay, was
doomed to be extracted. Today, the majority of these teeth can be
salvaged by the Root
Canal Specialist or
the Endodontist.
When
a tooth’s nerve tissue or pulp is damaged, it breaks down and
bacteria begin to multiply within the pulp chamber. The bacteria and
other decayed debris can cause an infection or abscessed Tooth.
Severe pain, swelling, sensitivity to hot or cold, or a darkening
tooth, are signs that a root canal problem exists.
Root
Canal Treatment procedure is started by drilling the enamel
part of the tooth, that is topmost portion of the tooth. First the
Dentist enters the pulp chamber, where the infected pulp is present.
The next step is exploration of root canal, removal of the remaining
pulp tissue and infected tissue. The infected pulp is then drilled
out and the root canal is disinfected with the help of intracanal
medicament like essential oils (eugenol), phenolic compounds, Sodium
Hypochlorite and iodides. Finally filling of root canal is done with
an inert filling material called gutta percha.
Benefits
of endodontic treatment?
Endodontic
treatment saves teeth that would otherwise need to be extracted.
Saving your natural teeth, if possible, is the best option.
Occasionally a tooth cannot be saved. Endodontic treatment can be
performed only if the root canals are accessible and can be
adequately cleaned and sealed. The tooth must also have sufficient
bone support.
