Deep Decay
Deep untreated decay can progress toward the pulp of the tooth.
Modern endodontic care focused on treating infection, relieving dental problems and preserving natural teeth wherever clinically suitable.
Root canal treatment is an endodontic procedure used to treat problems affecting the pulp inside a tooth and help preserve the natural tooth.
When dental decay progresses from the enamel into deeper tooth structures and reaches the pulp, the affected tooth may require root canal treatment. The appropriate treatment depends on the extent and nature of the infection.
Untreated decay can progress deeper into the tooth.
Infection reaching the pulp may require endodontic treatment.
Some cases may involve infection around the root apex and require further care.
Single Sitting Root Canal Treatment may be possible in suitable cases using modern rotary instruments and apex-locating technology.
Treatment duration and number of visits depend on the condition of the tooth, infection and overall clinical complexity.
Modern rotary tools can assist with efficient canal preparation.
Apex-locating devices support accurate treatment planning and working-length assessment.
The treatment objective is to address infection while preserving the tooth.
Clinical examination helps determine whether endodontic treatment is appropriate for the tooth.
Deep untreated decay can progress toward the pulp of the tooth.
When the pulp becomes affected, root canal treatment may be considered.
Some infections can extend toward the area surrounding the root apex.
The objective is to treat the affected tooth while retaining natural tooth structure where possible.
