Root Canal Treatment


Definition A root canal is a procedure used to repair and save a tooth that is badly decayed or becomes infected. Although normal tooth decay can become increasingly worse and eventually lead to a root canal, often times blunt trauma can cause the tooth to die as well. Your dentist will remove the dead nerve from the tooth and then seal it off to prevent another infection or abscess from forming around the tooth. If the nerve is not removed the infection will continue to climb deeper into your gums, often causing swelling, pain, and discomfort.


Remove all substratum nutrient sources.

What are the Objectives of Root Canal Treatment?

Remove as much of the infection as possible. Leave a surface that is easy for bacteria to be flushed out. Leave behind a substratum that is nonconductive for bacteria survival. Attempt to leave behind a bactericidal surface.

Elaborate on how this negatively impacts


Conclusion The main goal of root canal treatment is to completely mitigate the different components of tissue, bacteria, and biofilm and produce a hiemetic seal to prevent infection and promote healing of the surrounding tissue.
