Root canal treatment (Endodontics) is a treatment method used when the pulp tissue (dental nerves and blood vessels) located inside the tooth, namely the root canals, becomes infected, inflamed, or irreversibly damaged.
The primary goal of this treatment is to eliminate the infection and save the tooth from extraction, relieve pain and sensitivity, and ensure the tooth remains healthy in the mouth.

Why and How is Root Canal Treatment Performed?
When is Root Canal Treatment Required?
- Deep Tooth Decay: Decay penetrates the outer layers of the tooth (enamel and dentin) and reaches the pulp tissue, causing inflammation.
- Dental Trauma: Fractures or cracks in the tooth resulting from an accident or impact, exposing the pulp.
- Severe and Prolonged Pain: Throbbing pain, especially at night, independent of cold/heat sensitivity.
- Abscess Formation: Swelling (abscess) forms at the root of the tooth or in the gum.
What are the Treatment Steps?
- Examination and Diagnosis: Our dentists first perform a detailed x-ray to assess the extent of the infection and the root canal structure.
- Anesthesia and Isolation: The area to be treated is anesthetized and isolated from other teeth and saliva with a special dressing (cofferdam).
- Pulp Removal: An access route is created through the top of the tooth, and the infected pulp tissue is completely removed from the root canals. Root Canal Formation and Disinfection: Root canals are cleaned and widened using specialized instruments, and disinfected with antiseptic solutions.
- Obliteration: The cleaned canals are permanently filled and sealed with a biocompatible filling material, usually gutta-percha, to ensure airtight seals.
- Restoration: After root canal treatment is completed, a filling or crown is placed over the tooth, restoring its function completely.
