Root Canal Treatment is performed when carious
infection reaches the pulp (blood vessels and nerve supply to the
tooth). Unlike the old techniques, RCT being performed with multiple
sittings, WE Dental provides the advanced technique where the procedure
is completed in a single sitting that takes about 20 minutes to 45
minutes depending on the teeth (front or back teeth).
This procedure is done under local anaesthesia.
Dentists excavate the carious part of the teeth and prepare the access,
i.e. the pulp chamber of the tooth is reached. The infected pulp tissues
containing blood vessels and nerves are removed. Root canal is cleaned
properly with medicated solutions like saline, chlorhexidine, sodium
hypochlorite, Ethylene diamine tetra acetic acid (EDTA) and shaped with
rotary instruments.The pulp canal is then irrigated and dried
completely. The root canal filling material called Gutta-percha is
coated with a medicament and canal is sealed completely till the root. A
permanent tooth coloured filling is done over the sealed roots and followed by capping the tooth.
Laser root canal treatment
is another advancement used in the present day practice. Lasers are
used as an adjunct in root canal treatment. The laser light is passed
through the root canal that helps in disinfection. This enhances the
healing process and improves the decontamination process better than
regular root canal treatment. WE Dental
prefers single visit root canal treatment that ensures patient receives
the treatment in a less time with utmost care and concern.
Isolation plays a major role in success rate of the
treatment. Contamination of the operating area can lead to failure of
the treatment no sooner, hence WE Dental follows strict protocol in
isolating the operating field. RUBBER DAM is an advanced isolation
technique that contains thin sheet held by a clamp and a frame in which
all the remaining teeth except the operating teeth is covered. This is
very essential for the operating field to avoid contamination like
saliva, fluids in and out. This isolation technique helps in achieving
the goals like moisture control, retraction and access, harm prevention.
