ROOT CANAL

Root Canal in Istanbul Turkey

Root canal treatment is performed to save the teeth by repairing them instead of extracting them. Root canal treatment is a procedure performed to save a tooth that is highly decayed and inflamed with microorganisms. Starting endodontic treatment early is important for tooth recovery. As a result of neglecting the tooth, the infection may spread to the surrounding tissues and the tooth may be lost. Thanks to this process, which is applied to prevent tooth defects, it is no longer necessary to extract the decayed or infected teeth.

What is Root Canal Treatment?

Root canal treatment is performed on the tooth nerves to prevent tooth loss. The dental nerves called the pulp, located in the root canals of the patient's carious or infected tooth, are removed, and the application is made. After the nerve is removed, the area is cleaned, and the operation is performed by filling the remaining space. The nerve removed during the procedure is not essential and functional. For this reason, there is no harm in removing it. On the contrary, it is a treatment that prevents the person from suffering pain.

• A layer of rubber is placed to keep the area saliva-free and dry.
• Then, a hole is drilled to reach the root canal. From here, both the pulp nerve and the carious nerve tissue and bacteria in the region are removed.
• After the inner part of the tooth is thoroughly cleaned, the hole is closed.
