Root canal treatment is performed when a carious infection reaches the pulp (blood vessels and nerve supply to the tooth). Unlike the old techniques, where RCT was performed in multiple sittings, WE Dental provides the latest technique, where the procedure is completed in a single sitting that takes between 20 and 45 minutes, depending on the teeth (front or back teeth).
A root canal is a process that repairs and protects the damaged or infected tooth. This is done when the tooth nerve and dental pulp become ill or infected. This can cause deep decay, a crack, or a piece of the tooth, or repeated tooth processes.
Here is a brief overview of the RCT treatment procedure:
Anesthesia: The area around your enamel will be numbed with a local anesthetic to prevent discomfort. This will help ensure that you are comfortable with the complete system.
Access opening: Your dentist will create a small opening on the top of your tooth. This will permit them to reach the foundation of the teeth.
Cleaning and forming: Dentists will use specialized instruments to clean and shape the root canal. This will get rid of infected tissues and microorganisms.
Filling: When the root filling becomes clean and fashioned, your dentist will fill it with a material called gutta-percha. This will seal the channel and prevent similar contamination.
Restoration: Finally, your dentist will restore your enamel to its authentic features and appearance. This may also consist of crowns or other sorts of healing.
Root canal treatment is a secure and powerful way to save teeth that are infected or damaged. It is also a much less expensive opportunity for tooth extraction. Here are some of the advantages of having an RCT:
Saves teeth: Root canal remedy can keep teeth that might be inflamed or damaged. This allows you to hold your herbal smile and avoid the need for bridges or implants.
Improvement in oral health: Cleaning out infected tissue from the tooth’s interior, a root canal can prevent further spread and maintain a healthier mouth.
Reduces pain and discomfort: Root canal treatment targets the source of the pain, offering effective comfort.
Improvement in appearance: RCT treatment can help improve your appearance by restoring the natural shape of the ignition.
Laser root canal treatment is another advancement used in present-day practice. Lasers are used as an adjunct in endodontic treatment. The laser light is passed through the root canal, which helps in disinfection. This enhances the healing process and improves the decontamination process better than regular root canal filling. WE Dental prefers single-visit endodontic treatment that ensures patients receive the treatment in less time with the utmost care and concern.
Isolation plays a major role in the success rate of root canal filling. Contamination of the operating area can lead to failure of the treatment no sooner; hence, WE Dental follows strict protocol in isolating the surgical area. RUBBER DAM is an advanced isolation technique that contains a thin sheet held by a clamp and a frame in which all the remaining teeth except the operating teeth are covered. This is very essential for the operating field to avoid contamination like saliva and fluids in and out. This method of isolation helps in achieving goals like moisture control, retraction and access, and harm prevention.
