What Is Root Canal Treatment?
Root canal treatment or endodontic treatment is a procedure aimed at removing inflammation
or infection from inside the tooth, cleaning and sterilizing the root canals,
then sealing them with special materials to preserve the tooth and prevent recurrent inflammation.

كيف يتم علاج عصب الأسنان؟
تمر عملية العلاج بعدة مراحل تشمل:
التشخيص والفحص
يقوم الطبيب بإجراء الفحص السريري واستخدام الأشعة لتحديد حالة العصب وعدد القنوات الجذرية.
تنظيف القنوات الجذرية
إزالة الأنسجة الملتهبة أو المصابة من داخل السن وتنظيف وتعقيم القنوات بدقة.
حشو القنوات
إغلاق القنوات الجذرية بمواد طبية خاصة لمنع عودة البكتيريا والالتهابات.
ترميم السن
بعد انتهاء العلاج قد يحتاج السن إلى حشوة تجميلية أو تاج (تلبيسة) لحمايته واستعادة قوته ووظيفته.
