সংজ্ঞা
This procedure removes dental pulp when it has become dead or infected. Dental pulp is the soft core of the tooth. It contains nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissue. The pulp extends from the top of the tooth, called the crown, all the way down to the roots, in branches called canals.
পদ্ধতির কারণ
Dental pulp may become infected because of:
- An untreated cavity
- Trauma to the tooth
- Gum disease
When dental pulp becomes infected or dies, a painful abscess within the jawbone will occur. Removing dead or diseased dental pulp will prevent infection from spreading to other areas of the mouth and destroying bone around the tooth. If a root canal is not done, the tooth will need to be removed.
Common signs of pulp problems include:
- Pain when biting down on a tooth
- Pain when the tooth is not being used
- Sensitivity to hot or cold food or beverages
- Tooth discoloration
- Swollen gums around the infected tooth
- A draining boil-like structure (called a fistula) on the gum adjacent to the tooth
সম্ভাব্য জটিলতা
Complications are rare, but no procedure is completely free of risk. If you are planning to have a মূল খাল, your dentist will review a list of possible complications, which may include:
- ব্যথা এবং ফোলা
- Surgical-wound infection
- Persistent abscess
- Inability to save the tooth
জটিলতার ঝুঁকি বাড়াতে পারে এমন কারণগুলির মধ্যে রয়েছে:
- ধূমপান
- রোগ প্রতিরোধক ব্যবস্থাপনা ব্যাধি
- রক্তপাতের ব্যাধি
- Circulatory problems that can cause healing problems (eg, diabetes)
Be sure to discuss these risks with your dentist before the procedure.
কি আশা করা যায়
Prior to the Procedure
Your dentist will:
- Do a thorough dental exam
- X-ray your mouth—a test that uses radiation to take a picture of structures inside the body, especially bones
এনেস্থেশিয়া
Local anesthesia (eg, lidocaine ) will be used. The dentist will numb the area in your mouth. The anesthesia will be given as an injection.
পদ্ধতির বর্ণনা
A small hole will be made through the top of the tooth and into the pulp. Next, steel files will be inserted to extract the pulp tissue. All teeth have 1-4 individual canals. Pulp will need to be extracted from all canals in the affected tooth. Once all pulp has been removed, the walls of the root canal will be reshaped and enlarged. Medicine will be inserted to kill bacteria.
At this point, the dentist may insert a temporary filling. This filling will protect the tooth. The procedure may be done within one visit or at multiple appointments. This depends on the condition of the tooth. Lastly, the canal will be dried, sterilized, and filled with a rubbery material. This material will prevent recontamination.
অবিলম্বে প্রক্রিয়া পরে
The dentist will:
- Permanently seal the area
- Place a gold or porcelain crown over the tooth to strengthen its structure
কতক্ষণ এটা লাগবে?
A root canal may take 1-3 appointments. Each appointment may last 1-2 hours.
এটা কতটা আঘাত করবে?
You will have discomfort for a few days. Your doctor may give you pain medicine.
