What is root canal treatment for dental disease and what are the effects of root canal treatment?

Root canal is a kind of surgery mainly for pulp gangrene, pulp necrosis and various types of apical periodontitis, which generally uses mechanical and chemical techniques to clean the pulp cavity, especially the source of infection in the root canal area, and then fill after root canal cleaning and disinfection.

1. In order to proceed smoothly, it is necessary to drill a grinding hole in the affected tooth. In order to ensure the efficacy, one tooth film should be taken before, during and after the first day to ensure that the root canal is open and filled in place.

2. During the period, do not chew food with the affected tooth, so as not to cause the loss of the sealing medicine and the cracked tooth.

3. During the period, there may be pain in the affected tooth and even other complications of facial swelling, which should be combined with drugs to reduce inflammation, and severe cases should be revisited immediately.

4. Root canal** generally takes 2 or 3 times to complete, and should be revisited in time according to the doctor's instructions, otherwise the efficacy and course of treatment will be affected.

5. There may be temporary discomfort after the completion of the root canal period, usually relieved by taking anti-inflammatory analgesics, local swelling and pain should be informed to the doctor for treatment, and the fragility of the tooth is better for crown repair to prevent tooth fracture and prolong the life of the tooth.

6. If the tooth lesion is severe, such as the shadow around the apical and the disease is difficult, the number of times and diagnosis and treatment may increase.

Tooth root canal inflammation requires tooth nerve extraction After the nerve is removed, this function is gone, resulting in the loss of tooth nutrient metabolism, so the tooth becomes discolored and brittle. Sensory function is generally not affected. When our upper teeth touch our lower teeth, this sensory nerve is not the pulp nerve, but the periodontal nerve, and the pulp extraction has no effect on this sensation.

In fact, there is really no harm in root canal**, but it is better to preserve the root of the tooth, for rotten teeth that have reached deep caries, there is obvious pulpitis or the pulp has been necrotic, it can be carried out root canal**.

More and more people are aware of the importance of "cleaning" for dental health, but in clinical practice, many people will ask doctors whether there will be tooth damage, gum bleeding and enlargement of the gap between teeth after scaling.

Root canals of deciduous teeth are often used as a last resort to preserve pulp necrosis or apical infection of deciduous teeth.

1.What are the conditions in which a root canal can be done**?

Pulpitis involves the root pulp, which is no longer suitable for pulpectomy; The pulp has died, but the baby teeth should be preserved; Periapical inflammation, but also preserved primary teeth.

2.What are the conditions when a root canal should not be done**?

Baby teeth whose crowns are severely damaged and can no longer be repaired; primary teeth perforated at the base of the pulppel; The apical bone destruction is extensive, and the inflammation has been involved in the inherited permanent tooth germ; There is extensive root resorption of primary teeth with internal or external resorption exceeding the root length of 1 3; Baby teeth with dental cysts underneath.
