Nowadays, more and more young people have many problems with their teeth, such as root canal treatment. Many friends who have toothaches must have heard of it. It also has some simple and crude nicknames: "nerve-killing", "pulp extraction", etc. These names sound scary, but in fact root canal treatment is currently the most effective and commonly used method for treating endodontic disease and periapical disease.

An important step in root canal treatment is root canal preparation. In the past, doctors used traditional hand files to prepare root canals. However, with the advancement of medicine and the launch of root canal preparation machines, dentists have also been provided with a more time- and energy-saving option. Let's find out.

Understanding Root Canal Treatment

Although our teeth have hard enamel, if we do not pay attention to oral hygiene, the enamel will be damaged due to dental caries. If the damage is severe, bacteria may enter the pulp and cause inflammation. There are blood vessels and Nerves can also cause pain and infection. At this time, it is difficult to eliminate the inflammation by relying only on drugs and other treatments, and often only treat the symptoms but not the root cause, and the pain will reoccur. And tooth extraction will cause the gums to recede and lose the original teeth.

At this time, in order to prevent the infection from worsening, the necrosis and inflammation in the dental pulp need to be removed and disinfected, and in order to prevent recurrence, the root canal needs to be filled. In this way, inflammation and pain can be controlled while preserving our natural teeth to the greatest extent possible. Root canal treatment can be briefly divided into two steps: root canal preparation and root canal filling.

(1) Root canal preparation

After the initial doctor's assessment and the use of drugs to control the inflammation, it is determined that root canal treatment is required, and the doctor will first prepare the root canal. Root canal preparation is the removal and cleaning of contaminants in the root canal through mechanical means and chemical drugs, so that the root canal becomes a shape that is conducive to subsequent flushing and filling, and creates a good foundation for tight filling in the root canal. It can also be understood that root canal preparation is to use various "files" to scrape out all kinds of bacteria and infections in the pulp cavity. Therefore, doctors who perform surgeries sometimes need to combine different preparation instruments and choose appropriate preparation methods to complete the surgery. While preparing the instruments, it is also necessary to use a large amount of chemical rinses for repeated flushing to clean the areas that the instruments cannot reach. After flushing, more powerful and mild disinfecting drugs will be placed in the root canals to damage the root canals. The system undergoes comprehensive cleaning and disinfection. Even during the entire process of root canal treatment, root canal irrigation and disinfection are included.
