Process
The tooth is then opened up, the abscess and pus cleaned out from the inside. The tooth is then filled and this process is called a root canal treatment (RCT).
Radiograph X-Rays will be needed before, during and after the treatment. Sometimes the canals are very narrow and complex. These teeth can only be cleaned adequately using a surgical microscope where the whole tooth is magnified.
The dentist will even show you on the TV the cracks, fractures and the canals properly. Usually a crown is highly recommended after a root canal treatment.
