Here is a step-by-step visual guide to the Root Canal Treatment process, as performed by our certified specialist, Dr. Prasanna Dhatavkar.

Step 1: The Problem - Deep Decay and Infection

The need for a root canal arises when a cavity is left untreated and the decay penetrates deep into the tooth, reaching the pulp. The pulp contains the tooth's nerves and blood vessels. When it becomes infected, it causes severe pain and can lead to an abscess.

Step 2: Cleaning and Shaping the Canals

After local anesthesia is administered to ensure a painless procedure, an opening is made in the crown of the tooth. Using specialized, fine dental instruments called files, the dentist carefully removes the infected or dead pulp tissue from the pulp chamber and root canals. The canals are then cleaned, disinfected, and shaped to prepare them for filling.

Step 3: Filling and Sealing

Once the canals are thoroughly cleaned and dried, they are filled with a biocompatible, rubber-like material called gutta-percha. The gutta-percha is placed inside the canals and sealed with an adhesive cement to prevent any future infection. The access opening is then closed with a temporary or permanent filling.

The cleaned root canals are now filled and sealed with the pink gutta-percha material.

Step 4: Final Restoration (Dental Crown)

A tooth that has undergone a root canal is often weaker and more brittle. To protect it from fracturing and to restore its full function and appearance, a dental crown (cap) is usually required. A core build-up is placed in the access opening to provide support for the crown. The final crown is then cemented onto the tooth, completing the restoration.
