INTRODUCTION
A root canal is a dental procedure 
aimed at treating infection or damage 
within the pulp of a tooth. The pulp is 
the innermost part of the tooth, 
containing nerves and blood vessels. 
During a root canal, the infected or 
damaged pulp is removed, and the 
interior of the tooth is cleaned and 
sealed to prevent further issues.
