Endodontic treatment
A procedure to disinfect and preserve a tooth deeply affected by decay or infection.
An endodontic treatment, often called a "root canal", is a dental procedure carried out when decay or infection reaches the inside of the tooth, where the pulp is located (the soft tissue containing the nerves and blood vessels).
The aim of the treatment is to disinfect the inside of the tooth to remove infected or damaged tissue, then fill the root canal with a specific material to prevent reinfection. This helps preserve the tooth and avoid the need for extraction.
To optimise the results of the treatment, it is carried out under an operating field called a "rubber dam" and under an operating microscope.
