About root canal

Root canal treatment (RCT) is an endodontic procedure that removes infected or inflamed pulp tissue from inside a tooth. The cleaned canals are then filled and sealed, preserving the natural tooth structure. This eliminates pain, prevents the spread of infection, and avoids extraction.

How the procedure works

  1. 1Diagnostic X-ray to assess infection extent
  2. 2Local anaesthesia administration
  3. 3Rubber dam placement for isolation
  4. 4Access opening through the crown
  5. 5Pulp tissue removal and canal shaping
  6. 6Irrigation with antimicrobial solution
