Root canal treatment is most commonly known as: RCT.

This is also called as root canal therapy or endodontic treatment.

We are fortunate to have a dentist with a special interest in the endodontics (Root canal treatment) at the practice: Dr Nipa Bhatt. Her focus is on providing the best care possible to all her patients.

Tooth has two parts:

Crown: This is the part of the tooth visible in the mouth.

Root: This is the part of the tooth which is inside the jaw bone.

In the central part of the root there is a canal which carry the nerve and blood vessels, when these get infected patient gets symptoms of severe pain, swelling, pain on chewing and sleep disturbance. Dentist then performs root canal treatment which involves removal of these infected tissues and infecting bacteria from the canal system to save the tooth. The hollow space of canal system left behind is then obturated with special material called: Gutta Percha.

RCT: Fast Facts

  • Treatment to save infected and painful teeth
  • Extractions can be avoided by performing RCT
  • RCT sometimes require more than one or two appointments depending on the tooth involved.
  • Success rate is over 85%.
  • Most of the time root filled teeth require cuspal coverage restoration such as a crown.

Patient Journey:

Examination: Offending tooth is thoroughly assessed by the dentist, an Xray is taken to confirm the infection and then treatment is formulated, sometimes pulp tissues are removed during first appointment to relieve the pain and subsequent appointments are made to complete the treatment.

Treatment completion: Subsequent visits are planned to complete the root canal treatment.
Cuspal coverage restoration: Tooth is finally requires a cuspal coverage restoration such as a crown.

FAQs

Is RCT always possible?

Sometimes tooth is quite badly and deeply broken, so root canal may not be possible, in such case extraction of the tooth would be required to relieve the symptoms.

Is RCT painful procedure?

Generally, there is no pain during the procedure but after the local anaesthetic wears off then some pain can be felt for few days which gradually settles down.

Can RCT be completed in one visit?

Yes, but sometimes more appointments may be necessary to complete the treatment.
