Root canal treatment (RCT) is a dental procedure that is done to save a tooth in which the pulp (the soft tissue inside the tooth, which houses nerves and blood vessels) is infected or inflamed. The aim is to clean and disinfect the inner chambers, extract the damaged pulp and fill and seal the gap to eliminate future infection.
Indications
- Deep Decay : The pulp reaches a state of deep decay, characterised by the introduction of bacteria and the development of infectious or inflammatory pulpitis.
- Trauma/ Injury : Crack, chip, or extreme hit on the tooth, which has harmed pulp tissue, even though the dental cavity may not have decayed.
- Abscess : A pocket of pus at the tip of the root caused by old, undetected pulp infection.
Effects
- Pain Relief : It destroys the cause of the infection and inflammation, providing instant and permanent relief from the acute toothache that often accompanies pulp damage.
- Saving the Natural Tooth : This process involves preserving the patient's own tooth, thereby maintaining normal chewing, bite strength, and speech, while preventing adjacent teeth from shifting.
- Treatment of Systemic Infection : By eliminating the infection at the root system level, the procedure prevents the entry of bacteria from the mouth into other areas of the body, thereby preserving the overall health of the system.
