A root canal is the naturally occurring anatomic space within the root of a tooth. It consists of the pulp chamber (within the coronal part of the tooth), the main canal(s), and more intricate anatomical branches that may connect the root canals to each other or to the surface of the root.
On the other hand, the root canal filling material may be extruded from the apex leading to other complications. [citation needed] The X-ray in the right margin shows two adjacent teeth that had received bad root canal therapy. The root canal filling material (3, 4, and 10) does not extend to the end of the tooth roots (5, 6 and 11).
The post on the left is a tapered post, the one on the right is a parallel post. In post and core fabrication, it is desirable that the post descend at least two-thirds of the length of root canal (or not less than the height of the crown) in order to provide sufficient retention.
Root canal treatment should be performed on the tooth if it is determined that previous therapy was unsuccessful. Removal of the necrotic pulp and the inflamed tissue as well as proper sealing of the canals and an appropriately fitting crown will allow the tooth to heal under uninfected conditions.
There is a risk of rubber dam clamps breaking during application due to the chemical effects of sodium hypochlorite, an antimicrobial solution used during root canal treatments, repeated stresses of clinical use, [25] or autoclaving, [26] all of which can potentially weaken the material. To avoid swallowing or aspiration of broken clamps, the ...

From Boeing's turbulence and a catastrophic hurricane, to Donald Trump's election victory, "Sunday Morning" host Jane Pauley looks back at key events of a year that was monumental.
When I had root canal treatment, my dentist only gave me a little anesthetic and told me to tell him when it hurt - apparently this is how he knew he'd hit the end of the root canal. Apparently this "drill by feel" is or was a common technique, so the above passage doesn't seem very accurate to me. -- 203.52.130.136 04:21, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)
