The root canal procedure is an endodontic treatment used when the inner part of a tooth called the pulp gets inflamed or infected. This can be caused by a variety of things such as caries, multiple dental procedure done on one tooth or even by an injury.
What happens during a root canal procedure?
The procedure entails the dentist removing the infected or dead pulp tissues, cleaning and disinfecting the root canal and then filling them up and closing them with a biocompatible material. Afterwards, a crown is typically placed on the tooth to restore the original shape and function.
