Root canal
There are different ways a root canal can be performed. Root canal can be started different ways depending on the problem. There can be three situations when a root canal is needed and can be done according to the problem. A tooth could be injured, but without a filling. The pulp (the area around the top of the root), and the root died, over the years abscess on the apex (the very bottom of the root) of the tooth formed. This could happen like this, lets say that you were punched in the mouth a long time ago, your tooth moved slightly and was sore for a couple of days and then went away. Then ten years later it started to bother you again. Second reason can be a very deep filling and the tooth broke (recently), after the filling was there or split that opened up a deep filling. This could happen because you went jetskiing and weren't careful, slipped off you jetski and it fell on you knocking a tooth out. Another case can be a case where the filling went to the root of the tooth, the nerve never died - it's alive but the root canal needs to be done because the filling is too deep and it is irritating the tooth. The third reason is when a tooth had a deep filling for years and now it is irritated by i
Root canal technical procedure for case #2. For a fractured tooth, open the pulp, which again is the surrounding or head of the nerve, take out the nerve with broaches. The tool used in this area is a broach- this tool looks like a needle with threads on it. The nerve is about .75 cm - 1.50 cm long and it looks like a thread of peach colored flesh with capillaries of blood. The canals are cleaned and widened to fit a decent amount of cement in them. This is done with files. In this case since the tooth is fractured, and the root was just taken out, there is only a temporary filling made until next appointment. The next time a crown is measured to cover the entire tooth area. The post and cord is used to take the measurements. The post is a piece of platinum wire about 2 cm long and 1 mm in diameter. This piece of metal is inserted into the root canal and attached with cement on the bottom of the canal. On top of the tooth there is about .5 cm of the post sticking out to make a resin composite buildup out of the cord. The cord has the same composition as the composite filling. Which is the structure that you are making on top of the post and around the tooth. On top of it all goes the crown. Sometimes if there is a lot of the tooth lost the structure can be very hard to make. In that case a temporary post and cord are made out of casting wax (waxy material) which is then send to the laboratory to make a permanent post and cord out of metal. This is done very rarely says dental assistant Lesya Didovets from Eastman Dental Center. Root canal technical procedure for case #1 (The nerve died). In the middle of the to
