A Root Canal Treatment is used to repair and save a tooth that is badly decayed or becomes infected. During a root canal procedure, the nerve and pulp are removed and the inside of the tooth is cleaned and sealed. Without treatment, the tissue surrounding the tooth will become infected and abscesses may form.
Reasons
· Aching and throbbing pain in the tooth area, especially at night
· Acute reaction to cold and hot food
· Short-term pain during or after taking fluids or food
· Bleeding gums and bad breath
Stages
· Root canal treatment can take from two to four visits
· Anesthesia, removal of carious tissues of the tooth
· Removal of the old filling material from the crown part of the tooth
· Removal of the pulp from the root canals, careful mechanical processing, washing (using special antiseptic solution) and measuring the length of the root canals (using apex locator)
· Ultrasonic activation (Acteon) of root canals with their subsequent filling (temporary or permeant)
· X-ray quality control
· Installation of temporary or permanent filling material
· The restoration of the destroyed crown of the tooth can be also be done with ceramic patch (overlay)
