Endodontic Treatment (“Endo” – Inside; “Dont” – Tooth), Commonly Known as Root Canal Treatment, Or Root Filling
Root canal treatment is a dental care procedure that replaces infected or damaged pulp in the tooth’s root canal, with a filling. The pulp comprises tissue fibers, dental cells, blood vessels, and some nerve fibres within the hollow space in the centre of the tooth.
There are lots of instances when this procedure is required. Such cases include the tooth that gets irritated or inflamed. The irritated tooth is usually attributable to large fillings, chipped tooth, teeth trauma, huge decay and repeated dental work. Deva Dental Clinic also provides an uncomplicated root canal treatment. The root canal treatment only entails five steps including diagnosis, opening the root canal, disengagement of the infected pulp, filling and the installation of the crown. Root canal therapy involves removing the infected pulp tissue all the way to the bottom of the tooth root, before carefully cleaning, disinfecting and reshaping the root canal. The tooth is then packed with a special material and sealed with either a filling or a crown. Root canal tasks are very comfortable and in some cases can be done on the same day. The discomfort involved is often caused by the infection and should ease off once treatment begins. Thanks to reliable techniques and innovative technology, we perform root canal treatments painlessly and in a relaxed manner.

Root canal procedure
Root canal treatment consists of several steps that take place over several office visits, depending on the situation. First, an opening is made through the back of a front tooth or the crown of a molar or pre-molar.After the infected pulp is removed , the pulp chamber and root canals are cleaned, and shaped in preparation for being filled.
If more than one visit is needed, a temporary filling is placed in the crown opening to protect the tooth between dental visits.The temporary filling is removed and the pulp chamber and root canal permanently filled. A tapered, rubbery material called gutta-percha is inserted into each of the canals and is often sealed into place with cement. Sometimes a metal or plastic rod is placed in the canal for structural support.In the final step, a crown is usually placed over the tooth to restore its natural shape and appearance. If the tooth is very broken down, a post may be required to build it up prior to placing a crown.
Some of the benefits of root canal therapy include:
Immediate relief of pain
Avoid having the tooth removed
Able to chew normally
Restore a normal bite force and sensation
