Root Canal Treatment Procedure Indications Symptom Failure and Re treatment

Root Canal Treatment?

It is a permanent treatment for infected carious teeth. Problem with a carious tooth is that it has bacterial invasion in pulp/pulp canals either directly or through irritants produced by bacteria. This results in pulpal inflammation and might be reversible if the bacterial load and source that is the carious dentin is removed within 48 hours after the initial insult to pulp.

Tooth is hollow just like any other part of the body it has nerves and vessels. Simply it is as alive and other parts of body are. Even though caries is a slow process but it does effect a vital part of tooth which can be quite devastating in long run. For eg, as we see in OLD age people who dint care initially and went for extraction of tooth rather saving it through RCT in early age were facing problem of edentulous resorbed ridges in Mandible and Maxilla at a compartively younger age. People don't realize the importance of saving one tooth and extraction of one tooth often starts a chain reaction and results in multiple extraction.
