If your doctor advises you to take up the Root Canal treatment, then it should be implement at the earliest. If treatment is not done at the appropriate time then it may lead to further damage to the tooth structure and can also cause rapid spread of infection to the surrounding structures, which might end up in fatal complications like Abscess formation, cellulitis and Ludwig’s angina or space infections.
What materials are used to fill up root canals?
Multiple series of steps are followed in root canal therapy. Firstly, the root canals are cleaned and shaped with the instruments and the canals are thoroughly irrigated with medicaments. Once the root canals are made microbe-free, then the canals are sealed with a biocompatible material called Gutta-Percha, which provides an air-tight and a Hermetic seal.

If RCT is not opted, then the next possible treatment option for the management of decayed tooth is tooth Extraction followed by an artificial prosthesis to replace the missing tooth. But the expenses may increase if tooth is extracted, which will need a fixed prosthesis after healing, when compared to root canal treatment expenses.
Does all decayed tooth needs RCT?
Not necessarily, all decayed tooth need to be treated by root canal therapy. Depending on the extent of decay process, the tooth are managed. In the initial stages, the decayed part is removed, followed by placing aesthetic restorative materials. Once the decay process reaches the pulp, it may can pain and in these cases, root canal treatment is implemented. If the tooth has root fractures or if the supporting bone is not adequate enough, then extraction of the corresponding tooth is done.
Why crown is indicated after RCT?
The placement of permanent crown is usually indicated after rct, as it strengthens up the weakened tooth structure. The crown acts as a shelter for the tooth and protects it from the heavy masticatory forces and also helps to restore the form and functions of the tooth after root canal treatment. If crown is not given then it may further weaken the tooth structure and it may end up in vertical root fracture of the corresponding tooth and ultimately leading to root canal treatment failure.
