What is the procedure for Root Canal Treatment?
Top A.Step 1: The tooth is anaesthetized and an opening is made through the crown into the pulp chamber. Step 2: The length of the root canal is determined. Unhealthy pulp is removed. The canals are cleaned, enlarged and shaped with special root canal files and disinfecting solutions. Step 3: Once the tooth is free of infection, the tooth is filled with a special root canal filling material like gutta percha and sealed with a temporary filling. Step 4: A post and core may be added for structural support. Usually a metal or porcelain crown is made for the tooth to provide further protection.
