What is Root Canal Treatment

Root canal treatment is the removal of an

infected pulp from the root canal, filling it

with a rubber like material called gutta-

percha, then restoring the tooth with a

crown. After restoration the tooth continues

to function as a healthy tooth.

tooth pain.

makes acid that eat away tooth.

•Non vital or dead tooth: tooth which does not have a

•Trauma exposing the pulp: trauma to the tooth may

result in wear, discoloration or a broken tooth.

•Intentional Root canal Treatment: when conventional

surgery is not applicable intentional RCT is
