2D illustration detailing the fifth step of a root canal procedure, in which the treated tooth is trimmed down in preparation for a synthetic crown to be fitted over the tooth for added protection. A root canal is needed when the pulp at the centre of a tooth, which contains the nerve and blood supply, becomes infected. The bacteria kill and replace the pulp and eventually spread into the surrounding tissue, causing inflammation. | |
