Root Canal Treatment
Root canal treatment is Painless
When a tooth is badly decayed and becomes infected, Root canal treatment is suggested to save the tooth. Here the infected nerve and pulp are removed, cleaned, filled and sealed to prevent abscess formation and spreading of infection. As the tooth becomes non-vital and brittle, it is suggested to put a crown on the root canal treated tooth

Diagnosing the Infected Pulp
Diagnosing the Infected Pulp
Diagnosing the Infected Pulp
The root canal usually takes one to three visits. First, you have dental X-rays to check the extent of damage.Before having root canal treatment, your dentist may take a series of X-rays of the affected tooth. This allows them to build up a clear picture of the root canal and assess the extent of any damage.
Root canal treatment is usually carried out under local anaesthetic, a painkilling medication that numbs a specific area of the body.
In some cases where the tooth has died and is no longer sensitive, it may not be necessary to use a local anaesthetic.
Occasionally, teeth may be difficult to anaesthetise. On these occasions, your dentist can use special local anaesthetic techniques to ensure your treatment isn't painful.

Diagnosing the Infected Pulp
Diagnosing the Infected Pulp
Decay is removed, and an opening is made through the crown of the tooth to gain access to the pulp chamber. Using small dental instruments, the infected or diseased pulp is removed. our dentist will open your tooth through the crown – the flat part at the top – to access the soft tissue at the centre of the tooth (pulp). They'll then remove any infected pulp that remains.
Removing the pulp
Diagnosing the Infected Pulp
The Tooth is Restored.
After the diseased pulp is removed, the pulp chamber and root canals are flushed and cleaned. The root canals may be reshaped and enlarged to allow better access for filling later. Before permanently filling the root canals, they should be clean of all infection and dried. Medication is sometimes put into the pulp chamber and root canal to clear any infection. The tooth may be left open to drain for several days
The Tooth is Restored.
Final stage of a root canal
The Tooth is Restored.
After cleaning and drying, it's time to fill the interior of the tooth — the empty pulp chamber and root canals. You may not need additional anesthetic for this step. If you had a temporary filling placed, that will be removed to allow access to the inside of the tooth. A sealer paste and rubber compound is used to fill the tooth, followed by an adhesive filling to make sure the root canals are protected from saliva.

Final stage of a root canal
The final stage of the root canal is restoring your tooth. Because the tooth typically has a large filling or is weakened from extensive decay, it needs to be protected from future damage and returned to normal function. This is usually done by placing a crown — a realistic-looking artificial tooth. A crown is made of gold, porcelain or porcelain fused to metal. It can be tinted to match the exact color of your other teeth. Sometimes, a metal post must first be inserted in the tooth for structural support and to keep the crown in place. Ask your dentist or endodontist about other restoration options.

you can see here before and after treatment.Your front incisor and canine teeth (biting teeth) usually have a single root containing one root canal.
The premolars and back molar teeth (chewing teeth) have two or three roots, each containing either one or two root canals. The more roots a tooth has, the longer the treatment will take to complete.

Painless single sitting Root Canal Treatment
Root canal treatment is Painless
Once upon a time, if the nerve in your tooth was diseased, you'd probably lose that tooth. Today with a special dental procedure called a root canal therapy we save that tooth. Inside each tooth there is a pulp which provides nutrients and nerves to the tooth; it runs like a thread down through the root. When the pulp is diseased or injured, the pulp tissue dies. If you don't remove it, your tooth gets infected and you could lose it.
Root Canal Treatment entails the removal of infected pulp, cleanup and shaping the canals and filling the resultant canal area with a biocompatible material to keep the microorganism from reforming with in the canal.
At the Sridevi dental clinic, root canal treatment is usually done in a single sitting with latest technology and painless. We value your time and multiple sitting endodontics is now outdated and a thing of the past.
