WHAT IS ROOT CANAL TREATMENT? ENDODONTIC THERAPY/ PULP THERAPY BASICS

Every tooth has 3 layers:

Enamel (White), Dentin (Yellow) and Pulp (Pink)

E

D

P

Continuous Food deposits and sticky products (junk foods) can cause a cavity and spread from enamel towards Pulp.

Once the decay spreads towards the pulp infection travels towards the tip of the root.

Increase in the infection/ pus at the root may spread to the bone level later leading to swelling

and severe pain if neglected

If the tooth is neglected at this stage the infection over a period may fracture the

tooth

Science and Technology ( Rotary Endodontic System)

Step 1: Rubber dam placement

A rubber dam is really a thin sheet of latex (usually about 6 x 6 inches). It acts as a barrier that helps to keep the tooth isolated (clean, dry,

contaminate-free) during the procedure.

Step 2 - Creating the access cavity.

One of the fundamental goals of root canal therapy is removing contaminates from within the tooth and to remove these contaminants a hole is drilled on the upper surface of the infected tooth. The depth of this hole is extended to a level where pulp is exposed. Once the pulp is

exposed, the infected pulp is removed.

Step 3 - Measuring the length of the tooth

We at THE DENTAL SPECIALISTS use two methods to take measurements.

a) By taking an x-ray b) Electronic measurements

Several individual measurements may be needed for a tooth

Step 4 - Cleaning and shaping the tooth's root canals

Traditionally, root canal files have been used as hand instruments (manipulated by the dentist's fingers). We at THE DENTAL SPECIALISTS, however, have a specialized dental drill (handpiece) that holds the files and produces the needed filing motion for them.

Tooth irrigation is an important part of

the cleaning and shaping process

Periodic irrigation (flush out) carries off and washes away debris and contaminants.

The canals are now ready for a permanent filling

Step 5 - Sealing the canals

The most frequently used root canal filling material is a rubber compound called gutta percha. It comes in preformed cones whose sizes exactly match the dimensions (diameter,

taper) of root canal files.
