Root Canal Treatment

Endodontic Treatment also called as Root Canal treatment

Endodontic Treatment also called as Root Canal treatment is a dental procedure that can be done to save a tooth that is infected. When the tooth is infected by a cavity or trauma, the treatment options are either removal of the tooth or saving the tooth with root canal treatment. In these kinds of situations, the patient will be left with only one option to treat the infected tooth, which is Root Canal treatment.

If you’re also considering tooth restoration after a root canal, choose Richardsons as we can provide a permanent solution to replace any missing or compromised teeth, ensuring your smile and oral health remain intact.

What is Root Canal Treatment?

It is the removal of the the infected pulp by cleaning, shaping the canals using root canal instruments, and filling the canals using obturating materials.

Steps involved in Root Canal Treatment

Step #1

Numbing the area by giving local anesthesia

The selection of the patient for a teeth whitening procedure is essential. Not everyone is eligible for this treatment, especially those with severe periodontitis, gingivitis, bleaching agent allergies, or severe tooth sensitivity. Patients who have stable oral health are ideal candidates for teeth whitening. Proper evaluation ensures the best results while avoiding complications.

Step #2

Access cavity preparation

It is the opening prepared in a tooth by round or pear-shaped bur to gain accessibility to the canals of the root and pulp chamber. Richardsons is the best choice for best dental implants in Bangalore, but when preserving the natural tooth is possible, RCT is a great alternative.

Step #3

Removal of pulp & infected tissue

Using broaches, the dentist will remove the pulp tissues and infection from the pulp chamber and canals, addressing any bacteria and decay that have compromised the tooth.

Step #4

Cleaning and shaping of the canals

Using endodontic files and irrigants (like normal saline and sodium hypochlorite), the dentist will clean the canal by removing any remaining pulp tissue. This process helps eradicate bacteria and prevent further infection. The canals will be shaped to allow for proper filling and sealing. Richardsons offers the best dental implants in Bangalore, but if saving your natural tooth is possible through RCT, it’s often the preferred choice.

Step #5

Obturation of the canal

The dentist will fill the canals using a biocompatible material, usually gutta percha. A sealer is also used with the gutta percha points to effectively coat the surfaces of the canals, ensuring no bacteria can re-enter. If your tooth cannot be saved through RCT, Richardsons provides the best dental implants in Bangalore as an excellent replacement option.

Step #6

Placing a permanent restoration

Once the obturation is completed with effective eradication of infection, your dentist will restore the access cavity using a temporary or permanent filling material. Richardsons, renowned for offering the best dental implants in Bangalore, ensures the highest standards in all dental procedures.

Step #7

Placing a crown

A root canal-treated tooth can become brittle, discolored, and prone to fractures. To address this, your dentist will place a crown over the treated tooth to restore its function, durability, and strength. Crowns can be made of metal, porcelain, or porcelain-infused metal, depending on the patient’s choice. If saving the natural tooth is not feasible, Richardsons provides the best dental implants in Bangalore as an alternative.
