What is ROOT CANAL TreATMENT ?
Root Canal Treatment, often referred to as RCT, is a dental procedure designed to save a tooth that has been affected by infection, deep decay, or trauma. During an RCT, the infected or damaged pulp (the innermost part of the tooth) is carefully removed, and the space is cleaned, disinfected, and sealed. This process preserves the tooth’s structure and functionality while alleviating pain and preventing further infection.
The RCT of Teeth Process
- Diagnosis: Dr. Praveen Kumar evaluates your tooth’s condition using advanced diagnostic tools, including X-rays, to determine the need for RCT.
- Anesthesia: Local anesthesia is administered to numb the area around the affected tooth, ensuring a painless procedure.
- Pulp Removal: The infected or damaged pulp is removed, and the tooth’s interior is thoroughly cleaned and disinfected
- Filling and Sealing: The cleaned space is filled with a biocompatible material and sealed to prevent reinfection.
- Restoration: In most cases, a dental crown is placed over the treated tooth to restore its strength and appearance.
Common Reasons for Root Canal Treatment (RCT) of Teeth
Tooth Decay
Deep cavities or extensive tooth decay can allow bacteria to reach the pulp of the tooth. If the infection or decay is not treated promptly, it can lead to pulp inflammation and the need for RCT.
Dental Infection
A dental infection can occur when bacteria penetrate the pulp due to trauma, cracked teeth, or untreated cavities. This infection can lead to severe pain and discomfort.
Gum Disease
Advanced gum disease can lead to the formation of periodontal abscesses, which can extend into the pulp and necessitate RCT.
Trauma or Injury
A traumatic injury to a tooth, such as a fracture or a blow to the mouth, can damage the pulp. In some cases, symptoms may not appear immediately, but RCT may be required later if the pulp becomes infected.
Cracked or Fractured Teeth
Cracks or fractures in teeth can allow bacteria to enter the pulp, leading to infection and pain.
Repeated Dental Procedures
Teeth that have undergone multiple dental procedures, such as fillings or crowns, may eventually require RCT if the pulp becomes compromised.
Spontaneous Pulp Inflammation
In some cases, the pulp of a tooth may become inflamed or infected without an apparent cause. This condition is often referred to as "irreversible pulpitis.
Necrosis
Pulp necrosis occurs when the pulp tissue dies. This can be the result of long-standing infection or inflammation.
Genetic Factors
Some individuals may have genetic predispositions that make their teeth more susceptible to pulp inflammation and infection.
