What Is Root Canal Surgery?
Root canal surgery or treatment is a very common procedure aimed at rescuing teeth that would otherwise need extraction. Also known as endodontic treatment, root canal surgery becomes a necessary solution when the nerve and blood supply inside the tooth’s pulp face irreversible damage due to infection or trauma.
The development of pulp infection in a tooth occurs as bacteria infiltrate the pulp tissue, taking advantage of decay or cracks. This often leads to pain, swelling, and tenderness in the affected tooth.
In order to save the compromised tooth, dentists choose to perform a root canal procedure. After all, if the initial cause of inflammation remains unaddressed or escalates to a severe state, the delicate pulp would face irreparable damage and necessities total tooth extraction.
Furthermore, the multifaceted benefits of the surgery extend beyond the mere alleviation of pain. Not only does it effectively eliminate the localized tooth infection, but it also acts as a protector of the surrounding bone tissue.
Left untreated, the infection harbored within the tooth can cause intensified pain and bone deterioration.

The Procedure of Root Canal Surgery
Restoration and preservation of the affected tooth through root canal surgery involve different steps:
1. Removing the infected pulp
An opening, known as an access cavity, is carefully created in the affected tooth. This allows your dentist to access the site of infection.
2. Cleaning & shaping
With the infected pulp now extracted, the next step entails cleaning and shaping the root canals and pulp chamber. Following the disinfection, a medicinal substance (temporary filling) is placed within the root canal system.
3. Permanent filling & restoration
At this stage, the temporary filling is replaced with a durable, rubber-based permanent filling called gutta-percha. This material provides stability and forms a tight seal.
