Discipline involving the treatment of all tissues surrounding the tooth. This includes the gums, bone, tissue surrounding the root (called “cement”) which contains the ligament (called “alveolodental”) connecting the tooth to the bone.

A root canal treatment consists of eliminating the vitality of a tooth. It can be performed to relieve an abscess or before the installation of a fixed prosthesis such as a bridge or crown. After a root canal treatment, the tooth is more fragile. A crown and a pivot may be required to restore the tooth.
