Root Canal Treatment

Root Canal Treatment (RCT) At AA Dental Studio

Root Canal Treatment (RCT)

Root Canal Treatment (RCT) Save Your Natural Tooth & Eliminate Pain

A root canal treatment (RCT) is a painless, highly effective procedure designed to save a severely decayed or infected tooth. It removes the infected pulp (inner soft tissue), cleans and disinfects the tooth’s canals, and seals it to prevent further infection.

At AA Dental Studio, we offer expert root canal treatment in Islamabad, Rawalpindi especially for residents of Bahria Town, and DHA, ensuring pain-free procedures, advanced technology, and long-term tooth preservation.

Signs You Need a Root Canal Treatment

  1. Severe, lingering toothache (especially at night)
  2. Sharp pain when chewing or biting
  3. Tooth sensitivity to hot & cold (that lasts longer than normal)
  4. Swollen, tender gums near the affected tooth
  5. Darkening or discoloration of the tooth
  6. Pus or abscess formation near the gums
  7. Cracked or broken tooth exposing the pulp

Ignoring these symptoms can lead to tooth loss, abscess formation, or spread of infection to other areas.

Different materials are used to fill and seal the canals after removing the infected pulp:

1. Gutta-Percha (Most Common)

  • Rubber-like material that fills the canals effectively.

  • Biocompatible & long-lasting.

2. Resin-Based Sealers

  • Enhances sealing ability & prevents bacterial reinfection.

3. MTA (Mineral Trioxide Aggregate)

  • Used for complex cases where additional healing support is needed.

4. Bioceramic Sealers

  • Newer material with antibacterial & regenerative properties.

1. Diagnosis & X-Ray Examination

The dentist assesses tooth infection with clinical examination & X-rays.

2. Local Anesthesia & Isolation

The affected tooth is numbed for a pain-free experience.
A rubber dam is placed to keep the area dry & bacteria-free.

3. Pulp Removal & Cleaning

A small opening is made in the tooth to access the pulp.
Infected tissue is removed, and root canals are thoroughly cleaned & shaped.

4. Disinfection & Filling

The canals are disinfected to eliminate bacteria.
The gutta-percha filling material is placed to seal the canals.

5. Final Restoration

A temporary filling is placed, followed by a permanent filling or crown in the next visit.
Dental crowns are recommended for molars to strengthen the tooth.

Procedure Time: 60–90 minutes (single or multiple visits based on complexity).

    1. Eliminates Pain & Infection – Provides instant relief from severe toothaches.
    2. Saves Your Natural Tooth – Prevents extraction & tooth loss.
    3. Restores Chewing & Function – Strengthens the tooth for normal eating & speaking.
    4. Prevents Infection Spread – Stops bacteria from damaging surrounding tissues.
    5. Long-Lasting Results – With proper care, RCT-treated teeth last a lifetime.

Risks of RCT

      1. Mild Post-Treatment Sensitivity – Normal for a few days after treatment.
      2. Tooth Discoloration – Some teeth may darken over time (can be treated with whitening or veneers).
      3. Incomplete Cleaning – Rare cases may require retreatment if infection persists.
      4. Tooth Fracture Risk – Teeth without crowns can break under pressure.

 

    1. Reinfection of the Root Canal – If bacteria re-enter due to poor sealing.
    2. Tooth Weakness & Cracks – RCT-treated teeth become more brittle.
    3. Prolonged Sensitivity or Pain – If nerves or tissues around the tooth remain inflamed.
    4. Swelling or Abscess Formation – If the infection wasn’t fully removed.
    5. Loose or Dislodged Filling/Crown – Can expose the tooth to further damage.

     

    Solution: Get immediate follow-up care and ensure proper crown placement for durability.
