What are the steps of RCT?
Root Canal Treatment (RCT) is a meticulous dental procedure designed to treat infected or damaged tooth pulp. The process involves several distinct steps:
1 Examination and Diagnosis: The dentist assesses the tooth’s condition using X-rays and clinical examination to determine if RCT is necessary.
2 Anesthesia: Local anesthesia is administered to numb the tooth and surrounding area, ensuring patient comfort during the procedure.
3 Access Opening: The dentist creates a small opening in the tooth’s crown to access the pulp chamber and root canals.
4 Cleaning and Shaping: Specialized instruments are used to remove infected or damaged pulp tissue from the pulp chamber and root canals. The canals are then shaped to prepare them for filling.
5 Disinfection and Filling: The cleaned and shaped canals are irrigated with antibacterial solutions to disinfect them. They are then filled with a biocompatible material, such as gutta-percha, to seal them and prevent recontamination.
6 Restoration: In some cases, a dental crown may be placed over the tooth to restore its strength and appearance, especially if the tooth is weakened by extensive decay or damage.
Following these steps meticulously ensures the success of the RCT procedure and helps preserve the tooth’s functionality and health for years to come.
When and Why Do You Need a Root Canal Treatment?
Root canal treatment is needed when dental X-rays show that the pulp has been damaged by a bacterial infection. The pulp may become inflamed if it’s infected by bacteria, allowing the bacteria to multiply and spread. The symptoms of a pulp infection include: pain when eating or drinking hot or cold food and drink.When Do You Need an RCT? Root Canal Treatment is required in severe cases when the infection has spread to the inside of the tooth. There is a soft tissue present inside the teeth called the pulp.Root Canal Treatment (RCT) becomes necessary when the pulp, the innermost layer of the tooth, becomes infected or inflamed due to deep decay, trauma, or repeated dental procedures.
Severe Tooth Pain: Persistent or intense tooth pain, especially when biting or applying pressure, can indicate the need for RCT.
Sensitivity to Temperature: Increased sensitivity to hot or cold substances, lasting even after removal of the stimulus, may signal pulp inflammation.
Gum Swelling or Tenderness: Swelling, tenderness, or a pimple-like bump on the gums near the affected tooth can indicate infection spreading.
Deep Decay: Extensive decay or damage that reaches the pulp requires RCT to save the tooth.
Tooth Discoloration: Darkening or discoloration of the tooth may indicate pulp damage, necessitating RCT for restoration.
Addressing these signs promptly with RCT can alleviate pain, prevent further infection, and preserve the natural tooth structure.
What happens if I delay root canal treatment?
Putting off root canal treatment increases the chance that:
- You’ll lose your infected tooth.
- The infection in your tooth pulp will spread to other teeth.
- The infection will spread to your jawbone.
