Root canal treatment, commonly called us RCT. why we are calling it as Root canal treatment is because the tooth has two parts. the outer part or upper part that which we can see in a mouth of a individual is called as crown.
This inner part or lower part of a tooth which we cannot see is called as Root. it is inside out bone, tissues are lovering this part.
Inside this root part we are having the blood supply and nerve for the tooth. This part is called as root canal. It also extends to the crown part as palp chamber and pulp worms. The hole tissue part is called as dental palp.
In a caris affected tooth when the bacteria enters pulp tissue, it will cause periupical inflammation and it will leads to severe pain. In this cases we are doing root canal treatment.
In a root canal treatment first thing what we are doing is, we will get a food access through the crown to remove the pulp in the root canals for this we will remove some part of tooth material in specified manner using a instrument.
After that we will remove the pulp tissue by using special instruments called as broaches. Next to this we will enlarge this size of the canals with the help of specific instruments like treatment and filer with copious irrigation we are obtian the specific size.
After this procedure we will fill the root canals with a insert material called as Gutta percha and we will seal the apical part of root thus we are preventing the infections. After this procudures we can fill the tooth with permanent filling in a permanent crown.
Root canal treatment can be done is a single sitting procedure or a multi sitting procedure. This will take two or three sittings.

Quite informative post. Good to know about this root canal treatment but have never been through this surgery. Was very troubled with pain in my tooth and consulted to dentist Manhattan Beach who is really famous. Found his service best and very happy with his work.
