<\/p>\n
Outer enamel layer in a tooth encloses a hard layer called dentin and the innermost soft tissue pulp. This pulp connective tissue contains blood vessels and nerves. The pulp chamber and root canals house the pulp tissue in a tooth. In root canal treatment, infected or inflamed pulp including its nerve supply is removed. However, a root canal treated tooth can survive without pulp. The presence or absence of a nerve won\u2019t affect the functioning of the tooth as the only function of pulp is sensory i.e. to provide the hot or cold sensation. Although, a root canal treated tooth is less viable and more susceptible to fracture and thus needs to be restored with a crown prosthesis.<\/p>\n
Root canal treatment is executed to treat a decayed or traumatized tooth where the infection or inflammation reaches or approaches pulp. It involves the procedure of removing the pulp to replace it with an artificial inert \u2018filling\u2019 material. This is followed by placement of artificial crown prosthesis. Root canal Treatment<\/a> is also done to treat periapical abscess, resorption, pulp damage caused by repetitive dental procedures, etc.<\/p>\n Most root canal treatments can be completed within 2 \u2013 3 appointments itself. First appointment involves the removal of infected\/inflamed pulp. The second (and maybe third) appointment is when the root canal is cleaned and filled with biocompatible gutta percha material. Each appointment lasts around 90 minutes. However, single visit root canal treatments can also be done.<\/p>\n Root canal treated tooth can become weak and thus are more prone to fracture. In posterior back teeth where root canal treatment has been done, capping should be done.<\/p>\n Prefabricated or customized Post<\/strong> is cemented into a prepared root canal to retain a core<\/strong> restoration, which in turn retains the final crown restoration.<\/p>\n There is need for post only when there is insufficient remaining tooth structure to support the core material or the final restoration. The height of the post should always be the same or greater than that of the crown, and its width should be determined by the width of the canal after root canal treatment.<\/p>\n Most teeth treated endodontically can last a lifetime! Since tooth decay can occur in treated teeth also, oral hygiene should be maintained to prevent any future dental problems.<\/p>\n Natural tooth should be preserved whenever possible and root canal treatment allows that. Extraction needs to be followed by prosthetic replacement, which could even impact neighboring teeth and supporting gums.<\/p>\n Dr. Reena <\/strong>Waghela<\/strong><\/a> is a graduate of Maharashtra University of Health Sciences with a Bachelor in Dental Surgery.
