Root Canal Treatment

What is Root Canal Treatment?

Root canal treatment is the process of removing the living tooth tissue that becomes inflamed for different reasons or that develops infection with the settlement of microorganisms, cleaning and filling the canal cavity.

All of the cleaning, shaping and filling processes are called root canal treatment. It is also applied in cases where the root of the tooth is affected due to caries or different traumas. Here, it is aimed to prevent tooth loss. The normal functions of the tooth are fulfilled and it is aimed to keep the jawbone active.

How is the Root canal Treatment Performed?

A detailed examination is made to decide whether this treatment is necessary or not. A treatment plan is prepared with the imaging performed after the physical examination. The tooth consists of 3 main layers. The outer part of the tooth contains the enamel and dentin layer.

In the inner part, there is the living pulp layer, which contains the vessels and nerves that feed the tooth. If the tooth decay opens all the layers and goes down to the pulp part, infection occurs in the tooth. This causes the nerves to die. Loss of the patient's tooth leads to the inactivity of that area and the melting of the jawbone. In such a case, the patient is adversely affected both psychologically and physically. With this process, the damaged area is treated and made more functional. As a result, the patient's quality of life is improved. The duration of the treatment may differ depending on the condition of the tooth. Temporary fillings are used until the infection is treated.
