When a tooth’s root canal is lost, it cannot be restored, so the dentist may have to perform additional procedures to treat and preserve the root of the tooth.
In the case of missing the root canal of the tooth, the vertical root canal filling technique can be used, in which the root of the tooth is filled from the upper part with an anti-inflammatory and infection-preventing material, in order to prevent the anti-inflammatory material from leaking out. The horizontal root filling technique can also be used, in which the root is filled in the horizontal direction instead of the vertical one.
Dental implants can also be used as another option to treat the roots of teeth that lack canals, using an artificial tooth root that is implanted in the affected jaw.
Root canal treatment is a complex procedure that requires experience and skill from a qualified dentist. The patient must adhere to the instructions of the attending physician after treatment, follow good dental and oral health care, maintain oral hygiene and healthy nutrition to ensure dental health and prevent future diseases.
