Root canal-root canal Treatment of the Tooth
The Endodontics it is a industry of dentistry which has as its object the diagnosis and treatment of lesions of the pulp and pulpal origin lesions of periodontal and περιακρορριζικών tissues. To understand what is the root canal-root canal treatmentit helps to know something about the anatomy of the tooth:
Inside the tooth, under the white enamelthere is a hard layer called the dentin. Underneath the dentin is the pulp. The pulp is a soft tissue that is inside the tooth and provides vitality and αισθητότητα. It also contains blood vessels, nerves and connective tissue and forms the surrounding hard tissues during development. The pulp extends from the "the crown" (the part of the tooth that is above the gum) until the root tipwhere it connects to the tissues surrounding the root. At the same time, the pulp is important during development of the tooth. At the same time, when a tooth is fully διαπλασμένο, can survive without the pulp, because it continues to be nourished by the tissues around it.
When do I need a root canal-root canal treatment?
The root canal-root canal treatment is required when the pulp is inflamed or infected. If the inflammation of the pulp, or infection is left untreated, it can cause pain or result in abscess.
This inflammation or infection can have various causes:
- Tooth decay starting from some point in the crown or root of the tooth and gains some depth and is close to the pulp.
- Deep corrosion, crack or fracture, repeated dental work. In addition to an injury to a tooth (or after an accident, or due to βρυγμού) can cause damage to the pulp, even if the tooth has no visible cracks or fracture.
- A orthodontic anomaly the tooth can be another cause.
- Finally, another cause that can lead to root canal-root canal treatment is the so-called endo-periodontal lesions. The close biological and anatomical relationship of the pulp to the periodontal tissues that creates a interaction, which allows for the exchange of toxic products of inflammation or infection between them.
The proper root canal treatment-root canal treatment contributes significantly to the elimination of a ενδοπεριοδοντικής damagewhen it comes to damage due to the pulp.
However, when the cause of the damage comes from the infected periodontal, then it needs to be treatment and periodontal and pulp togetherin order to eliminate the microbial factor. Generally the lesions that have as source the periodontal, have a worse prognosis compared with the lesions derived from the dental pulp.

- Preparation and enlargement of root canals with motor μικροεργαλεία, which assisted with the use of EDTA ( a special formulation that facilitates the promotion of small tools inside the root canal)
- Διακλυσμοί for sterilization/disinfection of root canals that are made alternately with the mechanical preparation and drying them.
- As the case may be temporary filling of the tube with a paste that is anti-microbial and anti-inflammatory action
- Tight choke the root or root canal with cones gutta-percha and x-ray examination, so that the filling material up to the apex – the part of the tooth from which they enter the blood vessels and nerves

(a) the repetition of the root canal therapy
(b) the surgical removal of root apex of the tooth or ακρορριζεκτομή and
(c) the extraction of the tooth, which is the most undesirable and, more rarely, a solution of the problem.
In general, however, the complications after root canal–root canal therapy are rare and are usually treated as possible more conservative, with excellent results.
