A root canal therapy involves the treatment of an inflamed pulpal tissue of a diseased or infected tooth. This pulpal tissue is comprised of blood vessels and nerve networks. Each tooth has its own blood and nerve supply.
Root Canal Treatment is basically a Blind procedure because we can not visually see where we are working. Although despite this the success rates for Root Canal Treatment are very good.
