The root canal procedure is completed in two separate visits to ensure that the tooth is thoroughly cleaned out, sealed up, and protected from further damage.A permanent restoration is required after a root canal is performed on a tooth. The location of the tooth will determine what restoration will be recommended. Most teeth will require some type of crown, although there are exceptions where just a filling may be placed. A root canal therapy removes the nerves and other organic matter from inside a tooth's root canal system, which is then filled with a material known as gutta-percha and sealed.The roots of a tooth are not removed during endodontic treatment. During non-surgical endodontic treatment, inflamed or infected pulp tissue is removed from within the crown and roots of a tooth.
