A root canal is the natural inner cavity present at the center of the tooth. The pulp is the soft area present within the root canal.

The pulp is made up of blood vessels, nerves, and connective tissue.

The nerve inside the pulp gives the sensory function to the teeth that is, it provides hot or cold sensation to the tooth.

A root canal treatment is done in a step-by-step manner. If you are looking for root canal treatment in Pune then Lifeberries Healthcare can be the best dental clinic to visit below are the steps they follow during a procedure:

• Anesthesia: The first step is giving topical anesthesia in the form of a gel or a spray. This topical anesthesia is given on the site of injection, to minimize the pain of injection. The topical anesthesia is followed by local anesthesia, usually given in the gum area or the cheek, in order to numb the tooth undergoing root canal treatment in Pune. The anesthesia will prevent any pain during the root canal procedure.
• Root canal opening: Decay is removed entirely and an opening is made on top of the tooth surface. The tooth undergoing a root canal is de-occluded from its opposing tooth, to prevent any chewing pressure on the tooth, and the pulp from the tooth is removed entirely.
• Cleaning and shaping: The root canals are then cleaned and shaped using dental files. The canals are irrigated using sodium hypochlorite and saline (sometimes even hydrogen peroxide), and the canals are enlarged in width using the files.
• Obturation: The root canals are then filled with an inert filling material known as gutta percha. In cases of severe infection, a temporary root canal filling material such as calcium hydroxide may be filled in the canals for a few days till the infection subsides, and is later replaced by gutta percha filling.
• A temporary filling is placed on top of the tooth.
• The temporary filling is then replaced by a permanent filling on the top, and the tooth is then shaped and measurements for the crown are taken.
• Crown is prepared in the dental lab as per the measurements taken, and after checking for the fit, the bite and shade of the crown, it is cemented on the tooth. One must remember that crown placement on a root canal treated tooth is a must, as the tooth becomes brittle after undergoing root canal treatment and may fracture. To prevent this from happening a crown is placed on the root canal treated tooth.

There are different types of crowns available, from a metal crown to a metal-free ceramic crown (tooth-colored). These crowns differ in their appearance and cost. One may choose the type of crown they want. If you want to get the best root canal treatment in Pune, then you should visit Lifeberries Healthcare.
