The treatment procedure…
Root Canal
treatments are performed by dentist or endodontist.
Experienced dentist in Kerala says that a root canal treatment is carried out through the following
steps:
- Placing a rubber dam around the tooth, to keep the area dry and free of saliva during the treatment.
- A key hole is drilled into the tooth, the pulp along with the related debris are removed.
- A series of root canal files of increasing diameter are subsequently placed on the access hole and worked down the full length of the tooth for shaping the root canal.
- The tooth is thoroughly cleaned and sealed.
- After sealing a temporary filling is placed, this will protect the work performed.
- After completing the treatment, there are some additional work. A permanent restoration is the final step to complete the treatment.
