Root Canals, or endodontic therapy, are dental procedures to save infected or damaged teeth. When the pulp inside a tooth becomes infected or inflamed due to decay, trauma, or other factors, a Root Canal treatment is performed to remove the infected tissue, clean the root canal, and seal it to prevent further infection.
At Corsar Dental, we understand the importance of preserving natural teeth and ensuring optimal oral health. Our Root canal therapy is a cornerstone of our practice, aimed at saving infected or damaged teeth from extraction. Discover more about root canals and how they benefit our patients.

Types of Root Canal Treatments
Conventional Root Canal Therapy
The standard Root Canal procedure involves accessing the tooth’s pulp chamber, removing the infected or damaged pulp, cleaning and shaping the root canals, and sealing them with a biocompatible material.
Pulpotomy
In cases where the infection is limited to the tooth’s pulp chamber, a pulpotomy may be performed to remove the infected tissue and preserve the remaining healthy pulp.
Pulpectomy
Pulpectomy is a root canal procedure that involves removing the entire pulp from the tooth, including the root canals, to eliminate infection and inflammation.
Endodontic Retreatment
Endodontic retreatment is performed on teeth that have undergone previous root canal therapy but have developed new infections or complications, requiring the removal of existing filling material and re-treatment of the root canal.
Apicoectomy
An apicoectomy is a surgical root canal procedure used to treat a persistent infection or inflammation in the tooth’s root tip (apex), involving removing the infected tissue and sealing the root canal.
Root Canal Therapy for Children
Pediatric root canal therapy is performed on primary (baby) teeth to save them from premature loss due to infection or trauma, preserving space for permanent teeth and promoting healthy dental development.
