What is a composite resin (white filling)?

Earlier, a badly infected tooth, or one that just had significant decay, was doomed to be extracted. Today, the majority of these teeth can be salvaged by Root Canal Treatment.

An extraction is truly the last resort!

Some indications of the need for root canal treatment may be:
  • Spontaneous pain or throbbing while biting
  • Sensitivity to hot and cold foods
  • Severe decay or an injury that creates an abscess (infection) in the bone

Root Canal Treatment consists of:

The removal of the infected or irritated nerve tissue that lies within the root of the tooth. It is this infected pulp tissue that causes an eventual abscess.

The first step in a root canal is to obtain access to the nerve. This is accomplished by establishing a small access opening in the top of the tooth. It will be done under a local anesthetic.

The length of the root canal is determined and the infected pulp is removed.

At the same visit, the canal where the nerve is located will be reshaped and prepared to accept a special root canal filling material.

The number of visits necessary to complete your root canal will depend upon several factors including the number of nerves in the tooth, the infected state of the nerve, and the complexity of the procedure.

The final step in your root canal will be the sealing of the root canal with a sterile, plastic material called gutta percha. This is done in order to prevent possible future infection.

If treated early, root canal therapy need not be uncomfortable. With the use of local anesthetics, the entire procedure can be totally painless.

How long will the Restored Tooth Last?

Your treated and restored tooth/teeth can last a lifetime with proper care. Because tooth decay can still occur in treated teeth, good oral hygiene and regular dental exams are necessary to prevent further problems. As there is no longer a pulp keeping the tooth alive, root-treated teeth can become brittle and are more prone to fracture. This is the main reason why such a tooth needs to be reinforced with a crown.

Retreatment of Failed Root Canal

Root canal treatment is a procedure with a high success rate of more than 95%. Unfortunately, in 5% of cases root canal complications result in a failed root canal. Root canal complications can cause a failed root canal, but the tooth has usually a second chance. If the treatment has failed, the dentist will evaluate the condition of the tooth and the reasons of the root canal complications, in order to decide if the tooth can be saved. Usually a Re-treatment/ Re-RCT can be attempted. Unfortunately, in some cases the tooth can not be saved and it has to be extracted.
