Root Canal Treatment is the process of saving a tooth from decay and infection. When the tissue inside the tooth is infected, then the treatment of its root canals stops the tooth from further decay. It also prevents the tooth infection from spreading further into the gums. It saves your tooth from extraction.
It is also called Endodontic treatment, and Cleaning of tooth canals.
After the treatment, a tooth crown or a dental bridge is placed on the treated tooth to give strength to the tooth and extend its life.
If a tooth is not treated for infection, then it needs to be extracted. The missing tooth will leave empty space in the jaw that will cause other teeth to fall soon.
Root canal treatment with tooth crown is done in 4-5 days in two parts.
First Visit: In the first visit, the dentist opens the tooth from the top and removes the infected tissue from it. After this, the dentist fills the empty space using a dental filling. The dentist takes the impression of the tooth to make a tooth crown. This complete procedure on one tooth takes 60-90 minutes. A tooth crown is made in 2 days.
Second Visit: After a gap of 3-4 days, in the second visit, the tooth crown is permanently glued to the tooth using a very strong chemical.
So, the whole process of root canal treatment and tooth crown is done in 3 steps:
Endodontic motor and apex locator are automatic equipment that help in the complete removal of the infected tissue from the tooth.
A dental binocular (dental loupes) magnifies the tooth. It also has a bright flashlight attached to it. It gives better visibility of the tooth during the surgery.
