What Is a Root Canal Treatment?
Root Canal Treatment (RCT) is a procedure used to treat infected or severely decayed teeth. It involves removing the infected pulp, cleaning the root canals, and sealing them to prevent further infection. RCT saves the natural tooth and eliminates pain caused by deep cavities or trauma.
Types of Root Canal Treatments
- Single-Visit RCT: Completed in one session for minor infections.
- Multiple-Visit RCT: Done over multiple sessions for complex cases.
- Microscopic RCT: Uses a dental microscope for precise treatment.
