Root Canal Treatment in India – Facts You Need To Know

Root Canal treatment is a commonly performed dental procedure today, so most of us have heard of it although we might not actually now exactly what it is. Other negative views about Root canal treatment is that it is highly painful and takes days to weeks to complete. 

Root Canal treatment is a procedure used to save a tooth destroyed by the cavity. Normally patient complains of severe pain or extreme sensitivity to hot and cold sensations. Clinical examination of the patient reveals a broken, cavitated tooth. The procedure involved is the removal of the nerve of the tooth under anesthesia, shaping the inside of the tooth and filling the tooth. A crown is later made of the involved tooth. 

Like any other medical field, dentistry too has evolved dramatically over the last decade. The success rate of root canal treatment is now over 99% and in most of the cases, it is performed as a single sitting procedure. Anesthesia is used so the treatment is absolutely painless. Even after the procedure, some discomfort might be experienced but not a shooting or intolerable pain. The treatment has provided a new ray of hope for saving the decayed teeth which otherwise need to be extracted to relieve the patient of pain.

A properly performed RCT needs high expertise and proper instrumentation. Use of rotary instrumentation, apex locators, digital Xrays and at times laser too is recommended to achieve the desired results.
