Teeth that need root canal treatment may have been injured from trauma, deep decay, or have fractures. The tooth may be able to be saved by root canal treatment.
During a root canal procedure, the dentist will remove the pulp. The pulp contains the damaged nerve and blood vessel of your tooth.
The tooth is then internally irrigated which disinfects the inside of the tooth. Irrigating the tooth chemically removes organic tissues and biofilm.
A filling material is placed where the pulp once was. This helps to fill, seal, and prevent bacterial contamination and future infection.
Post and core, pins, and core build - ups are used when there is not enough tooth structure remaining for a crown and to strengthen the remaining tooth structure.
Core build - ups are used as a filler under dental crowns, they replace missing tooth structure and helps fill voids under the crown.
Post and core are used on a tooth that has one-half or less of its tooth structure above the gingiva (gums). Or on teeth that will undergo a significant chewing force.
Pins provide anti-rotational, this helps the tooth resist rotational forces placed on it during chewing.
After a root canal, the tooth is weakened because it does not have a blood supply. A crown is then placed on the root canaled tooth, which will prevent the root canaled tooth from breaking.
