ENDODONTIC
DENTISTRY

ROOT CANAL TREATMENT

 Years ago, damaged or diseased teeth had to be removed. Today, modern technology allows teeth to be salvaged for future restoration and use.

A root canal is usually necessary when the pulp, which contains the blood supply and nerves, is damaged or diseased. This damage can come from several sources. For example, bacteria from a cavity can enter the pulp and cause infection. Gum disease can also cause damage if there is a severe infection. Or, the tooth can be injured in such a way that the nerve is damaged or the blood supply cut off.

The first step in performing a root canal procedure is to remove the pulp and clean the pulp chamber and root canals. This is done through a small opening in the crown of the tooth. (If you have severe pain from the tooth, this will generally provide substantial relief.) Once the tooth has been cleaned, medication is then placed in the tooth and it is temporarily sealed.

At this point, the tooth is ready for a filling or other dental restoration.




If decay progresses
to the first stage,
a small filling will
be required.
If decay develops to the
third stage depicted,
root canal therapy
will be required.

What does treatment involve?
Treatment often involves from one to three visits. The pulp chamber and root canal(s) of the tooth are then cleaned and sealed. Here's how your tooth is saved through treatment:



1. First, an opening is made through the crown of the tooth.

2. An opening is made through the crown of the tooth into the pulp chamber.

3. The pulp is then removed. The root canal(s) is cleaned and shaped to a form that can be filled.

4. The pulp is removed, and the root canals are cleaned, enlarged and shaped.

5. Medications may be put in the pulp chamber and root canal(s) to help get rid of germs and prevent infection.

6. A temporary filling will be placed in the crown opening to protect the tooth between dental visits. Your dentist may leave the tooth open for a few days to drain. You might also be given medicine to help control infection that may have spread beyond the tooth.

7. The pulp chamber and root canals are filled and sealed.

8. The temporary filling is removed and the pulp chamber and root canal(s) are cleaned and filled.

9. In the final step, a gold or porcelain crown is usually placed over the tooth. If an endodontist performs the treatment, he or she will recommend that you return to your family dentist for this final step.

10. The crown of the tooth is then restored.
