3. WHAT IS ROOT CANAL TREATMENT?
ENDODONTIC THERAPY/ PULP THERAPY BASICS
Every tooth has 3 layers:
Enamel (White), Dentin (Yellow) and Pulp (Pink)
E
D
P
4. Continuous Food deposits and sticky
products (junk foods) can cause a cavity
and spread from enamel towards Pulp.
5. Once the decay spreads towards the pulp
infection travels towards the tip of the root.
6. Increase in the infection/ pus at the root may
spread to the bone level later leading to swelling
and severe pain if neglected
7. If the tooth is neglected at this stage the
infection over a period may fracture the
tooth

10. Step 1: Rubber dam placement
A rubber dam is really a thin sheet of latex (usually about 6 x 6 inches).
It acts as a barrier that helps to keep the tooth isolated (clean, dry,
contaminate-free) during the procedure.
11. Step 2 - Creating the access cavity.
One of the fundamental goals of root canal therapy is removing
contaminates from within the tooth and to remove these contaminants
a hole is drilled on the upper surface of the infected tooth. The depth of
this hole is extended to a level where pulp is exposed. Once the pulp is
exposed, the infected pulp is removed.
12. Step 3 - Measuring the length of the tooth
We at THE DENTAL SPECIALISTS use two methods to take
measurements.
a) By taking an x-ray
b) Electronic measurements
Several individual measurements may be needed for a tooth
13. Step 4 - Cleaning and shaping the tooth's root
canals
Traditionally, root canal files have been used as hand instruments
(manipulated by the dentist's fingers). We at THE DENTAL SPECIALISTS,
however, have a specialized dental drill (handpiece) that holds the files
and produces the needed filing motion for them.
14. Tooth irrigation is an important part of
the cleaning and shaping process
Periodic irrigation (flush out) carries off and washes
away debris and contaminants.
16. Step 5 - Sealing the canals
The most frequently used root canal filling material is a
rubber compound called gutta percha. It comes in preformed
cones whose sizes exactly match the dimensions (diameter,
taper) of root canal files.
