The term "root canal treatment" describes a procedure in which the diseased and damaged dental pulp is extracted and replaced with a sterile and biocompatible material. This procedure also involves the healing of the infection's focal point while enhancing the tooth's overall function and appearance. Modern endodontics' fundamental tenet is that treatment should be painless and successful. A properly done patient interview is helpful in determining the best therapeutic co-course of action, particularly with relation to endodontics, which frequently eliminates tooth loss. Although endodontic pain still elicits the strongest feelings, it is generally moderate and never intense. Clinicians are morally required to provide patients with information on all viable treatment alternatives, including benefits and risks, and to get informed consent before starting therapy.
