What is Endodontics
Endodontics is the dental specialty concerned with the treatment of the dental pulp. Endodontics can cover the following procedures of dentistry.
- Normal Teeth Colored Fillings.
- Root Canal Treatments.
- Post and Core Treatments.
- Correction of a discoloured tooth.
- Veneering.
The treatment (Root Canal) of an infected tooth pulp has the following steps:
- An opening is made through the tooth towards the infected pulp area and the total pulp is removed
- The canal is well cleaned and medicated to ascertain the sterility, followed by placing a temporary filling.
- The sterile filling material is then filled into the canals and sealed to prevent reentry of germs.
- After completion of the treatment, a capping is done with a permanent restorative crown or bonded filling that replaces the temporary filling.
Good oral hygiene, regular check-ups and cleaning are to be strictly followed after Root Canal Treatment.
