Root canal treatment (RCT) saves an infected or decayed tooth by removing the inflamed pulp, cleaning and shaping the root canals, and sealing them with a filling. It relieves pain, prevents abscess formation, and avoids extraction. The tooth is often restored with a crown for strength.
In dental business, RCT is a common, high-demand procedure offered in clinics and dental colleges across India. It preserves natural teeth, maintains chewing and appearance, and is cost-effective compared to implants. Medical students can relate it to infection control, inflammation, and tissue repair.
Good oral hygiene means daily care to keep teeth, gums, and mouth healthy. It prevents cavities, gum disease, bad breath, and tooth loss. Key practices include proper brushing, interdental cleaning, a healthy diet, and regular dental check-ups.
Brush twice daily with fluoride toothpaste for two minutes.
Floss or use an interdental brush daily.
Clean the tongue gently.
Use mouthwash if advised by a dentist.
Limit sugary and sticky foods; eat calcium-rich foods.
Avoid tobacco, betel nut, and alcohol.
Visit a dentist every six months.
Replace your toothbrush every three months.
A root canal usually takes 30–90 minutes per visit. Complex or multi-rooted teeth may need two sittings. Duration depends on infection, tooth type, and dentist’s experience.
A root canal can last 10–15 years or longer with a crown and good oral hygiene. Success depends on proper cleaning, sealing, and regular dental check-ups.
A root canal is not a serious surgery. It is a common, safe, minor dental procedure done under local anaesthesia. It relieves pain and saves the tooth, with minimal risks and quick recovery.
A 2-stage root canal is done in two visits. First, the infected pulp is removed, canals cleaned, and medicine placed. Second, canals are filled and sealed. It suits severely infected teeth.
Two types: Non-surgical (conventional) RCT removes infected pulp, cleans and seals canals through the crown. Surgical RCT (apicoectomy) removes infected root tip and seals it when conventional RCT fails.
