Endodontics - Root Canal Treatment
An aesthetic smile is the expression of power;
the smile is the sharp sword of this power.
Root canal treatment, also known as endodontic treatment, can be defined briefly as a dental procedure applied to treat infection, decay and inflammation in the inner part of the tooth and to prevent the formation of new infections. Infections in the root canal in the center of the tooth occur due to bacteria in the mouth that invade the tooth.
Within the scope of root canal treatment, the inflamed, lost or damaged pulp tissue is removed, the root canal is cleaned and then the filling process is started. Thus, teeth can be protected and tooth loss can be prevented. Root canal treatment is a frequently used treatment method that has safe and successful results when performed by specialist physicians.
In this article, you can find comprehensive information about root canal treatment and answers to frequently asked questions about root canal treatment.
Teeth have the hardest structure in the human body. (1) Teeth, which have a very important function for chewing and speaking, are examined in 5 sections.
There are 32 teeth in an adult human mouth, including wisdom teeth.
8 incisor teeth; They are the 4 middlemost teeth in the lower and upper jaws.
4 canine teeth; These are the pointed teeth right next to the incisors.
8 premolar teeth; These are the teeth between the canines and molars.
8 molars: These are the teeth at the back of the mouth that are best at grinding food.
4 wisdom teeth: These teeth appear at approximately the age of 18 and are also referred to as third molars. (3)
Dental canals are channels that start in the pulp and descend towards the root. Root canal treatment is based on the principle of cleaning these channels. These structures, also called root canals, are located in the pulp. Damage to tooth enamel and dentin causes the pulp and root canals to become infected, inflamed, damaged due to deep decay, or even necrosis of the pulp, that is, its death.
Root canal treatment is a treatment used to repair and save a tooth that is decayed, infected, or infected. The pulp and nerves in the tooth can become irritated, inflamed, dead or infected due to decay. The main reasons why the inner part of the tooth is affected can be expressed as deepening decay, cracks or fractures in the tooth enamel, and damage to the tooth due to trauma to the face. (4)
Anal treatment is a treatment method to destroy the bacteria in the inflamed and infected root canal, prevent the tooth from re-infecting, and protect the natural tooth. The process of root canal treatment proceeds by entering the root canal, removing the infected pulp, and carefully cleaning and disinfecting the inside of the tooth. Finally, the tooth is filled and sealed to prevent reinfection.
Although root canal treatment is generally a feared treatment, it is accepted as a treatment method that makes it possible to protect the natural tooth comfortably, thanks to the techniques developed today. (4)
In order to achieve success in root canal treatment, it is essential that the application be completed completely. In order to increase the success rate in practice, problems that may arise especially in root canal shaping must be eliminated. Today, it is possible to achieve high success rates in root canal treatment, thanks to the rotary instruments and rotary systems used when intervening in the root canal.
In addition, devices called apex locaters, which are used to measure the length of the intracanal operation in root canal treatment, help reach the narrowest point of the root tip. In this way, the treatment time is shortened and the treatment is more effective by reaching the narrowest point of the root tip.
Damage to tooth enamel and dentin may require root canal treatment. When tooth decay, tooth enamel wears away, or tooth sensitivity occurs, if a dentist does not intervene, the pulp will become damaged over time.

If k is not seen, the treatment is completed with permanent filling. (7)
Root canal treatment is applied to save the natural tooth, but in some cases the damage to the tooth is too much. This usually occurs when treatment is interrupted for a long time. If the tooth is severely damaged, the tooth enamel has become very fragile and tooth loss may occur during or immediately after treatment.
Another risk of root canal treatment is that infected, inflamed or irritated tissue remains inside the tooth or an abscess develops at the tooth root. However, since the necessary control is provided during the root canal treatment process performed by a specialist dentist, this risk is quite low.
Root canal treatment in general;
The cost of root canal treatment varies depending on the scope of the treatment, its planning, the general condition of the tooth and the expertise of the physician who will plan the treatment.
