The endodontic procedures of a root canal therapyDreyonna CarrollAnthem InstituteThe endodontic procedures of a rotary root canal therapy or root canal are a procedure that is performed by a specialized general dentist and/or an endodontist. The patient develops constant and severe pain, discoloration, or sensitivity to food and even contact with or around a certain area of ​​the tooth and is diagnosed by a specialist to receive rotational therapy. This is if the tooth can be saved, meaning it does not have too much damage or decay in the root, it will then be prepared. If it is not possible to save the tooth it is examined, but a decision will be made to extract it. The procedure takes place in the root of an infected tooth that requires special attention. The procedure may be considered surgery, but then it only consists of three visits and may be completed or performed in one day by a specialist. Endodontic root canal therapy procedures according to (Ingle, 2009, p. 61). The root canal treatment consists of three visits; exams, preparations and fillings. While this hasn't always been the case, years ago dentists extended the length of treatment longer than necessary. (Ingle, 2009, para.1). The root canal is located at the bottom of the tooth, near the nerve. When a patient requires rotary canal treatment it is due to significant causes. Root canals are used to protect the tooth from any further decay or damage, untreated tooth decay is the main cause of the need for root canals. Poor dental hygiene is the main cause of tooth decay. Cavities depend on how bad the decay of the pulp inside the tooth is... middle of paper... your body will not react badly against you. (Chetan, 2008, paragraph 1). A permanent cosmetic cement filling is sealed over the top of the tooth which may have a crown as a placement for permanent protection of the tooth. In contrast, root canal therapy or rotary canal endodontics procedures can be treated within a day or two depending on the severity of the tooth or teeth needing treatment. In all this procedure is very important and should be taken into consideration if someone has a dental problem with constant pain or sensitivity to touch, brushing and/or food. In other words, dental hygiene should be viewed positively and teeth should be brushed, flossed and seen by a dentist regularly. If this is ignored, unnoticed or untreated it can lead to permanent tooth extraction or total tooth removal..
