Everything you need to know about Root Canal Treatment

Description:

Root canal treatment is an often straightforward procedure to relieve dental pain and save your teeth. Patients typically need a root canal when there is inflammation or infection in the roots of a tooth. During root canal treatment, an endodontist who specializes in such treatment carefully removes the pulp inside the tooth, cleans, disinfects and shapes the root canals, and places a filling to seal the space. – PowerPoint PPT presentation

Title: Everything you need to know about Root Canal Treatment


1
Everything you need to know about Root Canal
Treatment
2
Definition
  • Root canal treatment is a treatment sequence for
    the infected pulp of a tooth which results in the
    elimination of infection and the protection of
    the decontaminated tooth from future microbial
    invasion.

3
Is the tooth dead after a root canal?
  • Root canal therapy can reclaim teeth after they
    have died. In order to understand this, you must
    first understand the anatomy of a tooth. The most
    common causes of pulp death are physical trauma
    to the tooth, a cracked tooth, or a deep cavity.

4
Is it better to have root canal?
  • Between a root canal and a tooth extraction,
    a root canal is often the preferred choice
    because it works on fixing your natural tooth so
    that it could remain in place. If a tooth is far
    too compromised, your dentist might recommend
    an extraction, followed by a dental implant to
    replace what was lost.

5
Is it my tooth change after root canal?
  • Other reasons for staining after a root
    canal includes leftover canal filing materials
    being left in the crown of the tooth and root
    canal medications. The most common cause however,
    is caused by the deadened dentin left inside
    the tooth.

6
Are root canals harmful to health?
  • There is no valid scientific evidence supporting
    research to date. Not only are root canals
    safe and effective, they eliminate bacteria
    from the infected roots of teeth, improving
    both your oral health and your overall health. 

7
How root canals affect your health?
  • Instead, researchers found that people with root
    canal fillings were no more likely to be ill than
    people without them. Research stated that
    bacteria trapped in the teeth during root
    canal treatment can cause almost any type of
    disease, including arthritis, heart disease,
    kidney disease and others.

8
What happens if a root canal fails?
  • Root canals will fail if there are
    undetected canal branches, cracks in the root, or
    an obstruction that makes it difficult to
    properly clean the root of a tooth. A failed root
    canal will begin to hurt and could cause pain
    through a noticeable abscess tooth.
