Root Canal Treatment

Toothache

In fact, the solution is usually simple, but patients suffer pain. A long waiting period also leads to tooth loss.

With root canal treatment, the pulp chamber in the tooth and the canals in the root are cleaned and shaped.

Today, root canal treatment can usually be completed in one session.

The painful tooth is treated and a crown is applied.

What is root canal treatment?

The pulp, the living part of the tooth, contains vessels, nerves and connective tissue. This tissue continues in the tooth root with tubular canals and ends at the root tip. Root canal treatment is required in case of infection in the living tissues we mentioned or in cases such as exposure due to trauma.

In root canal treatment, the pulp chamber of the tooth and the soft tissues inside the canals are removed. The canals are tried to be cleaned of bacteria. Root shaping is performed. For this purpose, the root canal walls are filed. After making sure that the canal cleaning and shaping stages are completed, the cleaned canals are filled with canal filling material. All of these procedures are called root canal treatment.

In a healthy tooth, there is fluid circulation inside the tooth. This gives the tooth flexibility. After root canal treatment, fluid circulation is cut off. The tooth loses fluid every day and becomes brittle. Teeth that have undergone root canal treatment are therefore coated.

The dental pulp is sensitive to cold and hot stimuli and warns the person as an alarm mechanism. Heat sensitivity disappears in teeth with root canal treatment.

What you need to know about the treatment to save your aching tooth.

• If the tooth canals are out of standards, it can jeopardize the success of the root canal treatment we plan to perform. Not every tooth with root canal treatment is always saved. Sometimes the canals can be narrow or blocked. Sometimes there may be bifurcated canals. In such cases, successful root canal treatment is impossible.
• Canals that are suitable for cleaning are treated with modern treatment methods and can be used for a long time.
• Root canal treatments may need to be repeated over time due to the resorbed root canal paste in the root.
• After successfully completed root canal treatment, it is recommended to crown the tooth.
• With root canal treatment, we can say that the tooth is dead. A live tooth is always better than a dead tooth.
• Root canal treatment should not be applied to teeth unless it is not necessary.
• Root canal treatment is a painless treatment.
• Even if it is usually completed in a single session, it may sometimes need to be performed in several sessions.

Benefits of root canal treatment:

Prevents tooth extraction. Our own tooth root, even if it is dead, is more useful than an artificial tooth root. Loss of function, aesthetic problems and speech problems occur after tooth extraction.
