Please select a topic below for animations and to learn more about each aspect of Endodontics
Endodontics is the field of dentistry that deals with the maintenance of the health of the vital pulp in a tooth or the treatment of a damaged or necrotic pulp in a tooth to allow the tooth to remain functional. Root-canal treatment is necessary when the vital blood supply of the tooth is affected either by trauma or bacterial damage.
The purpose of root-filling is to allow the tooth to remain functional and restorable, especially where extraction would leave cosmetic problems or compromise existing bridges, crowns or dentures.
Following completion of a root-filling, the tooth usually requires a subsequent restoration, often a crown or similar cast restoration.
