" In case of progression of caries, it aims to empty the infected root nerve structures; fill the root canals with a sterile filling material and restore function to the related tooth."
Bacteria and microbes in deep caries or broken teeth cause inflammation in the soft layer in the middle of the tooth, called the pulp, and cause the death of the nerves there. If the inflamed pulp is not removed, the tooth and surrounding tissues will also become inflamed, eventually the tooth may be completely lost.
First, the caries is cleaned and the channels are reached. Canals are enlarged with the appropriate canal tool. The channels are washed with disinfectants, the inside of the channel is purified from bacteria and the inflammation is removed. The canal filling is made inside the canals, and a filling or coating is made on it according to the loss of material in the tooth.
The tooth is not infected again and can be used for many years if precautions are taken to prevent decay. But for this, regular dental care and physician controls should not be neglected.
