What is Root Canal Treatment?


RCT, or root canal treatment, is a dental procedure intended for the infected or damaged soft tissue inside a tooth. This soft tissue is called pulp, made of blood vessels, nerves, and connective tissue. When the pulp becomes infected or inflamed because of decay or trauma, it may be necessary to perform a root canal in order to save the tooth. He will remove the infected pulp, clean and disinfect the interior of the tooth, and then seal it. Typically, the tooth is restored with a filling or crown for extra strength and functionality.

Why is Root Canal Treatment Needed?


Root canal treatment is usually needed when the pulp of the tooth becomes infected due to deep decay, cracks, or chips in the tooth. These are severe pain, sensitivity to hot or cold, swelling, and tenderness in the gums. An abscess may form if it is not treated and extends into the surrounding bone and tissue; this may lead to the loss of a tooth. The root canal treatment saves the tooth and eliminates the need for extraction; therefore, the patient has the tooth for a longer duration.

Benefits and Recovery


The major benefit of root canal therapy is the retention of the tooth. Removal of the infection and sealing of the tooth assist in pain alleviation, prevention of further damage, and restoration of the normal function of the tooth. Recovery from root canal therapy is usually pretty fast; most patients have little to no discomfort following the treatment. Over-the-counter pain relievers are usually sufficient to manage any soreness after the treatment. It is very important to follow the dentist's instructions and pay attention to oral hygiene to ensure long-term success of the treatment.

Questions & Answers

Root canal treatment involves removing infected pulp tissue due to trauma or decay, extending the tooth's functional life. Despite losing vitality, the treated tooth maintains its structure and functions like any other tooth, both aesthetically and functionally.

Deep Decay: Extensive tooth decay can cause pulp infection and inflammation, necessitating root canal therapy. Dental Trauma: Fractures or injuries to teeth may lead to root canal treatment if the pulp is exposed or damaged. Tooth Abscess: Bacterial infections within a tooth can lead to abscess formation, causing severe pain and swelling. Multiple Dental Procedures: Teeth that have undergone numerous dental procedures, such as fillings or crowns, may eventually require root canal treatment.

1. Administration of Local Anesthesia: Ensure your comfort by administering local anesthesia to numb the area around the affected tooth. 2. Accessing the Pulp Chamber: Create a small opening in the tooth to access the infected pulp and root canals. 3. Removal of Infected Pulp: Using specialized instruments, carefully remove the infected pulp from the tooth and clean the root canals. 4. Filling and Sealing: After cleaning the canals, fill them with a biocompatible material and seal the tooth to prevent reinfection. 5. Restoration: Depending on the extent of damage, the tooth may be restored with a dental crown or filling, restoring its functionality and aesthetics.

Proper post-treatment care is crucial for optimal healing after root canal therapy. Follow Prescribed Medications: Adhere to the prescribed medications as directed to manage discomfort or swelling effectively. Maintain Excellent Oral Hygiene: Regularly brush and floss to uphold oral hygiene and prevent potential complications. Avoid Hard Foods: Refrain from biting or chewing on hard foods until the tooth has completely healed. Schedule Follow-Up Appointments: Consistently attend follow-up appointments to monitor the healing process and address any concerns.

The number of sessions needed for the procedure can vary based on the tooth's condition. In cases where the tooth is alive and decay has only reached the pulp, a single session may suffice for root canal treatment. However, if the tooth is inflamed, with inflammation extending to the root tip and causing symptoms in the bone, or if facial swelling occurs due to drainage issues, the root canal treatment may be completed in 2 or 3 sessions.

Depending on the root number and type of the involved tooth, root canal treatment is within an average of 1 hour.

Modern local anesthesia applications, featuring advanced ingredients and additional additives, have significantly reduced the discomfort associated with root canal treatment. As a result, when performed with proper local anesthesia, root canal procedures are not typically painful. In cases where infection is present, mild discomfort may be experienced when applying pressure to the tooth for a few days following the root canal procedure.

A tooth that has undergone root canal treatment can last a lifetime with proper oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups.

Temporary dietary adjustments are often necessary after root canal treatment, as many individuals experience discomfort when applying pressure to the treated tooth. If the procedure extends over multiple sessions, it is advisable to avoid using the treated tooth until the treatment is complete. This precaution helps prevent pain and preserves the integrity of temporary fillings or crowns. To protect the tooth during this period, it's recommended to refrain from chewing sticky foods (especially gum) and consuming hard items (such as nuts or candy). Additionally, due to potential sensitivity for a few days, it's wise to avoid extremely hot or cold foods until the sensitivity subsides.

It can often be completed in one day, with patients typically returning to their normal daily activities within 2-3 days post-procedure.

I am incredibly grateful for the care and professionalism from Dr. Ezgi and her team in Turkey. As an Estonian woman, I was initially terrified to travel abroad for dental treatment, but my teeth needed immediate treatment and the waiting time in my home country was too long.From the start, Dr. Ezgi and her assistant were exceptional. They patiently answered all my questions, easing my fears with thorough explanations and genuine care. Throughout my treatment, their professionalism and dedication were evident, reassuring me I was in the best hands. During my stay, I had 12 crowns, 10 laminate veneers, 2 root canal treatment and some other minor procedures.Almost a year later, I couldn’t be happier with the results. Dr. Ezgi remains supportive and communicative. Her skill and caring nature are unmatched. Thank you, Dr. Ezgi, for transforming my dental experience and changing my life. I am forever grateful.

Ms Dt Dr Ezgi Ozkan Ozben has been my doctor for about 20 years. I have never attempted to search for and go to another doctor since then. She made my first crowns for my front teeth 17 years ago. I had used them till last year without any problems. Last year she renewed them and they look wonderful. I have no problems with my teeth and I am very much thankful to her.

I had an extremely disappointing experience at Dt. Ezgi Ozgan Ozben clinic.I went in for surgery and a dental implant, and the service provided was far from satisfactory.First, the surgery was poorly handled, leaving me in more pain than anticipated. The bone grafting, which was crucial for the successful insertion of the implant, was not done properly. As a result, the implant was rejected.Furthermore, the screws required for the implants were inserted at incorrect angles. This caused severe discomfort and complications, and eventually, I had to have all of them removed by a different dentist.Moreover, the aftercare was severely lacking. Despite spending over 6000 euros at this clinic and my repeated attempts to explain what had gone wrong, the clinic first offered a refund of 1000 euros and then blocked me without any refund for inadequate treatment provided.Subsequent attempts to contact them were completely ignored.I expected a higher level of professionalism and care, especially given the cost involved. I cannot recommend this clinic to anyone in need of serious dental procedures. Look elsewhere for a dentist who truly values patient care and well-being.

Accompanied my partner who was visiting Dr Ezgi. I had my own concerns about my dental hygiene and booked in for a check up. My concerns were correct as Dr Ezgi highlighted I had a serious infection which was overlooked by my uk dentist, possibly leading to tooth loss in the future. I underwent a thorough deep periodontal clean to remove the infection which has now prevented further issues arising later down the line. Dr Ezgi and her team made the entire trip from start to finish extremely pleasant and easy, driven by genuine compassion for their clients. I would highly recommend Dr Ezgi and will certainly be continuing to visit for future dental care.

Now I finally have my snow-white veneers! I've been thinking for 4 years about whether I should change my composite veneers to ceramic ones. When I saw Dr. Ezgi's works first time, I finally decided to install my own veneers. Dr. Ezgi made everything what I wanted! I am incredibly grateful and I wish Mrs Ezgi to have good clients. p.s good price for the veneers, extra attentive doctor, excellent assistants. Many thanks to Larisa. Sincerely, Jane
