Endodontic treatment including all procedures to maintain the health of the dental pulp or part thereof. Dental pulp is a tissue composed of cells and nerves as well as vascular afferents, which occupy part of the crown and the root or tooth roots.
The pulp chamber and the portion of the pulp cavity is located inside the crown while the share occupied by the root is called the root canal. The pulp cavity is occupied by the dental pulp. This vasculo-nervous bundle in and out by the end of the root (root tip) for a very small hole (foramen).
The pulp chamber is always a single cavity and varies according to the outer contour of the crown. The size of the pulp cavity is primarily determined by the patient's age. The teeth of the children have the largest pulp cavities. With age, the pressures and teeth, the pulp cavity is decreased.
The root canals extend from the pulp chamber to the root apex, and usually have their largest diameter at the level of the apical. The normal procedure is done when an adult is tapered wider at the crown and narrower at the apex.
For endodontic treatment is is essential to know the anatomy of both the pulp chamber and root canals.
