Root canals
Firstly the access to the
Pulp is made then the
Pulp tissues are taken out of the tooth and root canals are cleaned thoroughly with files. Then the inert, natural, bio compatible material is filled in the canals and then permanent filling and capping is done. The entire procedure of
RCT is done under Local Anaesthesia for the utmost comfort of patient and totally painless procedure. With the advent of newer and better technology i.e.
Protaper, the RCTs are now being done in single sitting only. It saves multiple visits of the patients for the same procedure. Only in some cases of RCTs or in case of severe infection your dental surgeon might opt for multiple sitting root canal treatment and during the procedure he will be putting medicaments and temporary filling in tooth so that the infection drains and the heaing of irritated periodontium takes place. For some cases Antibiotic coverage might also be required prior to or during the treatment.
