Root canal is a dental procedure that is used to treat when an injury or large cavity affects the tooth. It then becomes infected or decayed. During this procedure the pulp which includes connective tissue, nerve and blood vessels can be removed which is found in the center of the tooth and inside of the teeth is cleaned.
The first step in root canal procedure is an X-ray must be taken to determine if there is infection surrounding the bone. A local anesthesia is given to the area near the tooth. The area must be kept dry and free from saliva. Next a whole is made through the crown of the tooth to the pulp chamber. Using special files the pulp along with bacteria, the decayed nerve tissue. The canals are then shaped for the filling material. The filling of canals is done with a permanent material called gutta-percha. This helps in keeping the canals free from infection. To seal the opening a temporary filling material is placed on top of gutta-percha. This remains until the tooth receives a permanent filling. A cap or crown is placed on top of the teeth. To give extra support to crown a post is placed into the root next to the gutta-percha. Finally the crown is cemented into the place.
The symptoms of root canal must be checked and if needed go to the dentist for the treatment or any alternative available for removing the infected pulp of the teeth. Once the tooth is treated using root canal, it can be prevented from breaking and restore it to full function and may also last for rest of the life.
