Frequently asked questions
What is meant by Pulpal Necrosis?
Pulpal necrosis is the death or deterioration of the dental pulp, which is the soft tissue inside the tooth that contains nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissue. It is the final stage of pulpitis. Pulpitis often results from tooth decay, a cracked or broken tooth, too much drilling into a tooth or other multiple invasive procedures, injury, or worn-out enamel. These conditions can allow bacteria to enter the pulp chamber, causing bacterial infection.
Is it a severe condition?
Yes, pulpal necrosis is considered a severe dental condition. It can lead to intense pain, infection, and potential complications.
What happens if it is left untreated?
If left untreated, it can lead to serious infections like Ludwig’s angina, Mediastinitis, and Osteomyelitis of the jaw. You will also experience worsening pain from the tooth abscess. Tooth extraction may be necessary when the infection has spread to surrounding tissue.
What are the treatment options for this condition?
The primary treatment for pulpal necrosis is a root canal procedure. In some cases where the tooth is severely compromised, extraction might be necessary.
What is a root canal treatment?
A root canal treatment, also known as endodontic therapy, is a dental procedure aimed at removing infected or dead pulp tissue from a tooth’s root canals, disinfecting the canals and sealing tthem to prevent further infection.
How are root canal treatments carried out? (Procedure)
An endodontist will take X-rays and scans to assess the extent of the infection and the anatomy of the root canals. They will administer a local anaesthetic to numb the tooth and the surrounding area. An access point gets drilled in the crown, infected pulp gets removed, the canals get cleaned, disinfected, shaped, & filled with biocompatible material, and the access point gets sealed. It is usually followed by placing a restoration, such as a dental crown, on the treated tooth.
What type of dental professional is qualified to carry out a root canal treatment?
Root canals usually get carried out by endodontists, specialists who treat issues affecting the dental pulp. They have additional qualifications and training to treat complex cases involving the interior of a tooth. When you require a root canal, your dentist will refer you to an endodontist.
How to prepare for the treatment?
Ask your dentist about the procedure and pain management. If you prefer IV sedation, it is good to discuss it before treatment. You can also choose different material for the final filling, such as porcelain fillings. Before the procedure, your dentist will take X-rays and scans to assess the tooth’s condition.
What can you expect at your root canal treatment appointment?
At the appointment, you’ll receive anaesthesia to numb the area. The dentist will then perform the procedure, which typically involves removing the infected pulp, cleaning the canals, and sealing the tooth. The appointment duration varies based on the tooth’s complexity. You will get painkillers and antibiotics prescribed depending on your condition.
How do you take care of your dental health after a root canal treatment?
Maintaining good oral hygiene is essential. You must attend any recommended follow-up appointments. Regular check-ups will help detect any damage, decay, infection, or gum disease that can affect the treated tooth.
