Root canal treatment consists of cleaning the pulp and root canal space and then covered with plastic material as an orange rod called gutta-perch a, with which we have sealed the entire length of the channel.

This will avoid future infection.

Channel cleaning is done by a very fine file to introduce their own (there is a channel for each of the tooth roots) to clean the walls thoroughly.

We will further increase the thickness of the canal until the file is clean and ready to be sealed with gutta-perch a.
This treatment requires great precision and the help of sophisticated methods for doing this, such as X-rays or peak search, with which we trust to come right into the root tip and seal the entrance.

teeth remain anchored to the bone through cementum and periodontal ligament, but devitalized.

This makes you lose water and are more brittle than when the teeth is very important. We must protect the many opportunities with dental cases, to avoid fracture of the crown.

Sometimes it is necessary to strengthen it with bolts or screws that we introduce in one tube and treated (usually large), especially when the damage caused huge loss of tooth enamel and dentin.

Also note that obscures endodontically treated teeth more than others, in the long term, and become more fragile.
