In order to alleviate pain or ensure the success of prosthetic treatments, a root canal consists of removing the pulp of the tooth (nerve that occupies the inside of the tooth and its root or roots) and seal this space with sterile material. It is applied in fractured teeth, with deep decay or diseased pulp tissue.
