  • Large restorations

A dental dam isolates the tooth, and a small opening is made in the crown.

Cleaning and Disinfection:
The infected pulp is removed, and the root canals are cleaned and disinfected.

Filling and Sealing:
The cleaned canals are filled with gutta-percha, a rubber-like material, and sealed to prevent reinfection.
