Root canal Treatment is the procedure of removing dead or dying nerve tissue and bacteria from inside a tooth. This is done if you have any infection that affects the nerve in the root of a tooth. Root canal Treatment is also called endodontic treatment or root canal therapy. It removes the pulp inside the tooth and then replaces it with filling material and thus can the infection can be effectively prevent.
The space inside the tooth from the center,which is called as the pulp chamber, which travels down the length of the root to the tip is called a “canal,” or more specifically,we can call it as the root canal. The tooth’s nerve lies within the root canal. Its only function is sensory, that is to provide the sensation of hot or cold and the presence or absence of a nerve will not affect the day-to-day functioning of the tooth. Depending on the anatomy of the tooth, human teeth may have one to four root canals. Dental root canal treatment removes tooth pulp from inside the teeth, which is essential to maintain our health.
An infection in the root canal of a tooth can cause:
* Bone loss around the tip of the root.
* Drainage problems extending outward from the root, that is the chances of occuring a hole through the side of the tooth with drainage into the gums or through the cheek with drainage into the skin
* Swelling may spread to other areas of the face, neck, or head
Root canal procedure is done to save the damaged or dead pulp in the root canal of the tooth by cleaning out the diseased pulp and reshaping the canal. The canal is filled with a rubber like substance, which is called gutta–percha or another material to prevent the recontamination of the tooth. Then the tooth is permanently sealed, with possibly a post and/or a crown made of porcelain or metal alloy and this enables patients to keep the original tooth as before.
Advantages of Root Canal Treatment
The single most important benefit of root canal therapy is that you keep your tooth. Teeth extraction may lead to other dental problems. For example, drifting of teeth, bite problems, TMJ discomfort, and the need to treat adjacent teeth that do not otherwise need dental treatment in order to restore the missing tooth. No matter how effective modern tooth replacements are – and they can be very effective – nothing is a good as your natural tooth. The biggest advantage is that the tooth will not need to be extracted in the future. Root Canal Treatment includes both surgical and non surgical treatments based on the condition of the teeth.
