Stepwise Procedure For Root Canal Treatment

  • Diagnosis:

    • The dentist examines the tooth and may use x-rays to assess the extent of the infection.

  • Anaesthesia:

    • Local anaesthesia is administered to numb the tooth and surrounding area.

 

  • Isolation:

    • A rubber dam is placed around the tooth to keep it dry and free of saliva during the procedure.


  • Access Opening:

    • The dentist drills a small opening in the tooth to reach the pulp chamber.


  • Cleaning and Shaping:

    • The infected or damaged pulp is removed, and the root canals are cleaned and shaped to prepare for filling.



  • Medication:

    • Sometimes an antimicrobial solution is used to disinfect the canals.



  • Filling:

    • The cleaned canals are filled with a biocompatible material, often gutta percha, to seal the space.

  • Temporary Filling:

    • A temporary filling is placed to protect the tooth until a permanent restoration can be done.

 

  • Permanent Filling:

    • A permanent filling, such as composite, is placed once the tooth is symptomless.

 

  • Crown Placement:

    • It is mandatory to do crown placement subsequently to protect the tooth from fracturing.

    • Follow post RCT and post Crown instructions to make the root canal-treated tooth functional.
