ROOT CANAL TREATMENT
First of all, it should be known that no artificial tooth can replace the natural tooth. Therefore, we have to protect our natural teeth by treating up to the last point. When one of our teeth is sick, one of the most well-known methods of protection is root canal treatment. Root canal treatment helps protect damaged teeth. When the pulp (the soft layer inside the tooth containing the nerve, blood, and lymph vessels) is damaged to such an extent that it cannot repair itself, the pulp dies. It is usually caused by bacteria from broken teeth or deep cavities. Bacteria cause inflammation in the core of the tooth. If the damaged or diseased pulp is not removed, the tooth and surrounding tissues will be exposed to infection and eventually you may lose your tooth completely.
Root canal treatment is a form of treatment applied in cases where the pulp is damaged. While the only solution was extraction when faced with a soft tooth layer that was sick in previous years, it is possible to treat these teeth today.
First of all, the tooth is anesthetized for a painless and painless treatment. Then, when the tooth decay is cleaned and the essence of the tooth is reached, the diseased and soft tissue is removed. Nerve and tissue residues are cleaned.
Between sessions, the tooth is covered with temporary dental filling materials until the tooth heals. After it is understood that the growth of the inflammation has stopped and the inflammation from the root end is over, the tooth canal is filled with a special dental filling material up to the root tip and the crown part is restored by filling, porcelain filling (inlay) or crown coating to prevent it from breaking and decaying again.
In some cases, these sessions are not needed at all, and it is possible to finish the root canal treatment in a single session.
