<!--[if !supportLists]-->1. <!--[endif]-->The steps of root canal treatment
（1）Preliminary diagnosis and evaluation: The dentist will conduct a comprehensive examination of the tooth, including X-ray examination, to determine whether there is pulpitis, pulp necrosis, or other conditions that require root canal treatment.
（2）Anesthesia and isolation: Before the treatment begins, the dentist will administer local anesthesia to the patient to ensure that the treatment process is painless. Use a rubber dam or other isolation technique to isolate the treatment area from the rest of the mouth and maintain a sterile environment.
（3）Pulp opening: Initially, the dentist will drill holes to open the top of the tooth (crown) into the pulp chamber, exposing the damaged pulp tissue.
（4）Cleaning and preparing root canals: Clean the infected or necrotic tissue in the pulp cavity, and use root canal files and irrigation fluid to thoroughly clean and disinfect the root canal system. According to X-ray positioning, the root canal is measured and prepared to form a continuous and smooth space for easy sealing with filling materials.
（5）Root canal disinfection: After cleaning, the dentist may place temporary medicine or antibacterial paste in the root canal to kill residual bacteria and perform disinfection for a period of time.
（6） Root canal filling: After the disinfection period, use special root canal filling materials (such as gutta-percha tips and sealants) to tightly fill the root canals to ensure that the root canals are sterile and there is no space for bacteria to grow.
（7）Temporary sealing and observation: After the filling is completed, the dentist will use a temporary filling to seal the tooth, wait a few days or weeks, and observe whether there is still inflammation or discomfort in the treated area.
（8）Permanent restoration: After the observation period shows no abnormalities, the temporary filling is removed and replaced with a permanent filling material to seal the root canal outlet. Depending on the condition of the tooth, a crown (porcelain crown or metal-ceramic crown) may be needed to protect and Restore tooth function.
（9）Review and follow-up: After completing the permanent restoration, the patient needs to review regularly to ensure that the tooth is healing well and there are no signs of recurrence of infection.
Please note that each patient's specific situation may be slightly different, and the dentist will adjust the steps and details of root canal treatment based on the actual situation.
