The canal of a tooth is located in the center of a tooth and contains mostly nerve and vascular tissue known as the ‘pulp’. The pulp tissue is essential when the tooth is developing but is not needed to keep the tooth healthy after the tooth is fully formed. Root canal therapy is needed when the pulp tissue has become irreversibly inflamed or necrotic. Often times this condition is the result of dental caries (decay) migrating inward and reaching the pulp tissue. In the root canal procedure, the pulp tissue is fully cleaned out, the canal is sterilized and then filled ‘obturated’ with a rubber material known as gutta-percha. Typically the root canal procedure requires a local anesthetic. This is first administered by the dentist and once it has set in he/she can access the canal system to begin cleaning it out. The first part of the canal system is the ‘pulp chamber. This is cleaned out first and then the smaller canals can be accessed which lead all the way to the end of the root. Some teeth only have one canal whereas others can have 4. The cornerstone of good root canal treatment is the dental microscope. At Prudent Complete Dental Care, we use the Global Dental Microscope to help visualize the canal spaces and ensure accurate cleaning of the canal system.
