• Pain relief and alleviation of discomfort caused by infected or inflamed pulp
• Preservation of natural teeth avoiding the need for extractions.
• Prevention of infection spread to other teeth or the jawbone
• Improvement in oral health by eliminating sources of infection

The process of delivering root canal treatment involves several steps starting with an accurate clinical diagnosis, including the use of x-rays. A small opening is made in the crown of the tooth to access the pulp—under local anaesthesia if necessary. Fine files are then introduced that clean the root canal from within, and using gentle but effective disinfectant solutions, the tooth is washed clear of infection. The tooth is then sealed in its root and crown with appropriate filling materials to prevent reinfection, and covered with a crown if necessary to protect it from high biting forces.

In borderline cases, your dentist may employ pulp-preservation therapies instead of root canal treatment. These include use of materials that promote the pulp to heal and seal itself off from the invading germs. Called ‘direct’ and ‘indirect pulp capping’ procedures, these involve using calcium hydroxide and calcium silicate materials.

Genix dentists make use of multiple advances like the latest nickel-titanium files that flex as per the shape of your root, and the apex locator that accurately gauges the adequacy of cleaning.

The workflow for root canal treatments typically has the following steps:

Appointment 1
Clinical history, exam—including vitality tests—and x-rays to diagnose the teeth with issues

↓

Accessing the pulp through the crown under local anaesthesia if necessary

↓

Cleaning the tooth to the best possible extent, followed by placement of medicaments and a dressing if necessary

⤷

Healing period

Appointment 2
Completing the cleaning of the tooth to the tip of its root, verified with an apex locator and x-rays

↓

Root filling, followed by crown filling with biocompatible materials to seal the tooth

↓

Done!

More appointments than two may be required if the infection is extensive. Also, it may be necessary sometime to prescribe antibiotics. Analgesics may be recommended to provide pain relief in the post-operative period.

Your dentist may recommend a crown to protect the tooth and to prolong its life in function if required. You can read more about crowns at Genix here.

This scenario quite common owing to the high prevalence of dental decay. As a result, a large number of people require root canal treatment for the following reasons:

• Treating severe, deep tooth decay that has reached the pulp of the tooth, causing infection in the tooth and the tissues beyond the teeth
• Treating cracked or chipped teeth causing damage that exposes the pulp to bacteria
• Managing teeth that have undergone repeated dental procedures leading to pulp damage.
• Managing teeth that need to be intentionally devitalised as part of treatment plan in order to receive a crown or to support a bridge

Root canal treatments are a vital dental procedure for saving infected teeth and maintaining overall oral health. By understanding the process, benefits, and aftercare, patients can ensure successful outcomes and enjoy the long-term health of their natural teeth. Step into your Genix Practice confident in the knowledge that your Genix Dentists are equipped with the best to handle this delicate procedure.
