Root Canal Therapy
Also called RCT, it is a process by which we treat the inner part of a tooth. This is done in situations when tooth decay is not treated in time and infection spreads to the nerve of the tooth. Once infection reaches the nerve of the tooth, the patient may either get his / her tooth removed or get an RCT done. Most people prefer RCT. In RCT the area occupied by its the 'pulp tissue' is replaced with artificial material. Sometimes in case of accidents, the tooth fractures up to the nerve level and in such cases too, RCT has to be performed.

	It is a wrong notion that RCT is painful ! We perform painless RCT with the help of rotary instruments; pulpal medicaments and Apex locater which help determine the accurate length of the root.This give long lasting results and no post procedure pain.
Root Canal Therapy (RCT) RCT is the process which treats the area inside a tooth that is occupied by its 'pulp tissue'. Most people refer to a tooth's pulp tissue as its 'nerve'. Pulp tissue contains nerve, arteries, veins, lymph vessels, and connective tissue. We drill into the pulp chamber and remove the infected pulp by scraping it out of the root canals. Then we fill the cavity with an inert material and seal it. The standard filling material is gutta-percha which is melted and injected to fill the root canal passages.
Post & Core A post and core is a dental restoration used to build-up tooth structure sufficiently for future restoration with a crown; when there is not enough tooth structure to properly retain the crown. This could be due to decay or fracture. A post looks like a miniature half inch tooth pick. It is placed within the body of tooth that has had previous RC therapy. It is usually made of metal, but newer ones are made of flexible carbon fibre
.		During the RC therapy the space previously occupied by the nerves if filled with sterile thermo plastic material. In fabricating your post we remove some of this thermo plastic material making sure, we leave some space to seal the end of the root. The space is necessary to anchor the post within the tooth. A part of the post which is visible is called the core. It is upon this core that we can anchor a cap or a crown. The post is cemented permanently in to your tooth usually separate from the crown. The crown is then ready to be bonded on to the core. A post and core can be fabricated only if the root stump is present without any crown structure.
