3. Overview of RCT
RCT is a final dental solution to one's sensitive teeth.
• This procedure mainly treats "pulpitis", an infected & inflated area
(pulp) of a tooth.
• An infected pulp is removed,
the canal cleaned and replaced
with an artificial material called
"glutta percha".
• No more toothache or related
symptoms experienced later...
4. Causes of RCT - (1) Tooth Decay
• Dental caries that occurs with bacterial attacks on our teeth may
usually lead to pulpitis (if remained untreated)!
5. (2) Traumatic Teeth
• It suggests any more accidental tooth injury that may also end up
with pulp damage!
6. (3) Tooth Cracks
• Strong pressures on teeth may cause small breaks and cracks,
therefore creating any harm to root canal!
