Rct

1. (A eliminating microorganisms and necrotic pulp through chemomechanical debridement, and providing an adequate root filling B) in order to seal the canals and prevent reinfection.

when the pulp may become inflamed if it’s infected by bacteria, allowing the bacteria to multiply and spread. The symptoms of a pulp infection include: pain when eating or drinking hot or cold food and drink.

Aim of RCT is to improve the health of your damaged tooth by removing the infected nerves from your teeth through a small opening in the crown.

The canals are then sealed with special filling materials to prevent bacteria from reaching your bone.

The opening in the tooth is then filled with a restoration, and a crown/cap is placed on the tooth.

The process of root canal treatment is explained below:

• Cleaning

In the ‘Cleaning’ phase, the infected pulp is removed using manual or mechanized files. The inner walls of dentin are cleaned and filled with antiseptics to prevent relapse of infections. This process may be

• Shaping

In this activity, the root canal is prepared for root canal filling by using files.

• Filling

In this stage, the root canal is filled with artificial materials such as gutta-percha, etc. Then, the

• Restoration of the tooth

Tooth restoration is achieved using an artificial crown, which is designed using casts. The crowns are typically manufactured by specialized labs and can be made in various materials such as ceramics, etc.
