Firstly, when a patient comes to us with unbearable dental pain, we will propose canal filling to alleviate the pain and save the affected tooth in the dental arch. Moving on to the procedure itself, first and foremost, the area with the problematic tooth will be locally anesthetized to prevent potential discomfort for the patient.Subsequently, we will clean the tooth and remove the nerve, allowing us to proceed with cleaning the tooth’s canal. At this point, we will use gutta-percha, and there are several methods for introducing the gutta-percha cone into the canal.

The gutta-percha cone will be inserted into the canal in combination with another root canal filling material. However, it is not necessary to rely solely on this method of inserting gutta-percha into the root canal. The gutta-percha cone can be heated, after which it is injected into the canal or pressed into the root canal. Alternatively, cold lateral condensation can be used. Cold lateral condensation involves using a spreader, an instrument that helps press the gutta-percha cone along the root canal.

Finally, the canal will be cemented, and the tooth will be filled, or a dental crown will be placed, as needed.
