What are the indications of a Root Canal Treatment?
- Extensive Decay / Cavity
- Trauma to the tooth
- Pus formation
- Severe wear and tear of tooth (attrition or abrasion)
- Fractured tooth (could be due to trauma or extensive decay)
- Prolonged dental sensitivity that could not be controlled with anti-sensitivity toothpaste
- Teeth with severe gum diseases may also require root canal even if its not decayed.
What exactly is a Root Canal Treatment?
So basically, a tooth is made up of three layers. When the cavity is limited to the outer 2 layers; called enamel and dentin; a simple filling is enough to treat the tooth. But if left untreated, it progresses into the third layer i.e., pulp. The pulp contains nerves and blood vessels which are responsible for pain and sensitivity. Therefore, in this condition, when the cavity has reached the pulp, a simple filling will not solve the problem. Root canal treatment is required to not only remove damaged tooth structure but also to remove these infected pulp tissue. Steps involved in root canal treatment:
Steps involved in Root Canal Treatment:
- Local Anaesthesia administration: The area of the tooth that needs RCT is numbed so that no pain is felt during the treatment
- Access cavity preparation: This is the first step of RCT and it involves the removal of carious/infected tooth portion and creating access to reach the pulp tissue.
- Cleaning, disinfection, and shaping: 2nd step involves cleaning the infected pulp tissue and shaping the tooth structure to receive a suitable filling.
- Obturation: The final step of RCT involves filling and sealing the cleaned and shaped root canal space with a biocompatible filling material.
- Permanent filling: Once the root canal space is filled, a permanent filling is done in the access cavity and is prepared to receive the crown.
- Crown Placement: After every root canal treatment, a crown is mandatory to give the tooth additional strength and avoid re-infection of the tooth.
