Root
treatment multi
Root
treatments on back teeth
can be more complicated
because they have a number
of roots.
The root canals are exposed.
All roots then need to be
excavated making sure that
the entire tooth nerve is
removed.
The cavity is then filled
with gutta percha .
and the tooth then filled.
Root
treatment
A
filled or decayed tooth
with an abscess.
The filling is removed to
access the cavity.
The root canals are reamed
to remove the tooth nerves.
Gutta-perchas are inserted
to fill the root.
These are then cut-off,
sealed and the tooth filled.
The abscess will reduce.
A crown may be necessary
later.
Standard
taper
Sometimes
a tooth needs a root treatment.
This requires the exposure
of the root system of the
tooth then the removal of
the nerves and material
within the root.
A special material is now
available which is placed
into the tooth roots.
The material hardens and
is then trimmed.
The tooth can then be filled.
Over time, this special
material expands within
the root which prevents
any bacteria from continuing
to decay the tooth.
