What is root canal treatment??


Answers: A tooth has a crown, which is seen outside, and a root, which is embedded inside the bone. When the infection from the crown of the tooth reaches till the root it causes inflammation at the root tip. In order to remove the infection from the root tip, root canal treatment is done. A hole is made in the crown of the tooth and various chemicals are passed till the root tip to clean the infection. Then the whole tooth is filled with a special filling material.
IT IS WERE THEY REMOVE THE NERVE FROM YOUR TOOTH. ITS A BIT PAINFULL, BUT WORTH IT ,AS YOU WILL NO LONGER GET PAIN IN THAT TOOTH.
Related to tooth. Treatment deeply, Jad se. to bottom, root.
They take out your tooth and stop blood circulation to that tooth by cutting nerve and plant artificial tooth in place of decayed one.

Root canal treatment refers to the process by which a dentist treats the inner aspects of a tooth, specifically that area inside a tooth that is occupied by its pulp tissue. It is used to find the cause and then treat problems of the tooth's soft core (the dental pulp). .
A TEETH HAS 3 LAYERS ENAMEL,DENTIN,PULP.WHEN THE DEPTH OF THE CARIES GOES BEYOND ENAMEL,DENTIN & BY THE TIME IT TOUCHES THE PULP IT GETS INFECTED & THROUGH THE INFECTED PULP THE INFECTION TRAVERSES TO THE ROOT TIP (PERIAPICALLY) & RESULTS IN PAIN.Now comes RCT(root canal treatment) the ultimate choice rather than tooth extraction,the treatment starts with 3 days of antibiotic therapy prior to RCT then first step is administration of local anaesthesia and make a hole till reach pulpal floor and remove infected pulp(deroofing of pulp) both in the crown& root portion(pulp extirpation) it is cleaning &shaping the root canal with help of reamers & files and then close with cement(ZOE) with cotton pellet plugged,give again antibiotic&analgesic AFTER 3 DAYS do root canal filling with guttepercha and close with ZOE(ZINC OXIDE EUGENOL).AFTER 1 WEEK GIVE PERMANENT FILLING & PUT A CROWN OVER THE TREATED TEETH
..IT IS WHERE THE NERVE OF TEH TOOTH IS REMOVED AND THE ROOT CANAL IS FILLED IN.
