Root canal treatment (blue arrows) carried out on the lower right first molar with temporary restoration in place Incision of an abscess above a front tooth and insertion of a surgical drain Odontogenic infection involving the buccal space. Above, deformation of the cheek on the second day. Below, deformation on the third day.
Root canal treatment (also known as endodontic therapy, endodontic treatment, or root canal therapy) is a treatment sequence for the infected pulp of a tooth that is intended to result in the elimination of infection and the protection of the decontaminated tooth from future microbial invasion.
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.
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.
Ostensibly, then, for regeneration to occur, the root canal system must have been decontaminated and further access to microbial invasion must be prohibited. Regeneration of the bone has been demonstrated to occur, on average, at a rate of 3.2 mm² per month, and studies suggest that 71% of lesions have achieved complete resolution one year ...
Thus, 97.7% of cases with a negative response to EPT indicated that a root canal treatment should be carried out. [ 22 ] Test cavity: The preparation of a test cavity involves cutting into the dentine of a tooth to determine whether the sensory element of the pulp is still functioning.

The proximity of the root to the canal can be assessed radiographically and there are several factors which can indicate high risk of nerve damage: [21] Darkening of the tooth root where it crosses the canal [21] Deviation of the canal [21] Narrowing of the roots [21] Loss of the lamina dura of the canal [21]
