The procedure can take from 30 min. - 1
hour or more this would depend on how many roots are present.
A Root Canal is indicated when the
cavity has reached the point where it comes in contact with the
nerve. A good indication that this has occurred is the presence
of a constant sharp pain, sometimes even worse at night, or when
laying down. In order to save a tooth the nerve has to be
removed to elevate pain. The tooth is anesthatized and the
nerces are located anesthatized and removed.
Next the infection needs to be addressed
calcium hydroxide is used to clean and disinfect the canal.
Finally the canal has to be conditioned and sealed with a Teflon
type material called a gutta-percha. During the procedure x-rays
will be taken in order to verify that the root has been
completely removed and the space has been properly filled with
the gutta-percha.
