What is Filling in RCT?

Published in Dentistry 1 min read

Filling in Root Canal Treatment (RCT) involves sealing the prepared root canals of a tooth after the infected or damaged pulp has been removed. This filling material, often gutta-percha, prevents bacteria from re-entering the tooth and causing further infection. Essentially, it replaces the pulp to maintain the tooth's structure and function.
