Endodontics is the treatment to remove the nerve and pulp tissues of the tooth. When root canal therapy is preformed, the tooth and the roots are thoroughly cleaned and shaped to remove all pulp tissue. Once the canals are completely cleaned, they are filled with a biocompatible material, typically gutta-percha. Root canals are most often necessary when decay has reached the nerve of the tooth or the tooth has become infected. People have anywhere from 1 to 4 canals in a tooth. Extra canals may branch out and are called "accessory canals." The number of canals and anatomy of a tooth can vary. The word "endo" comes from the Greek language and means "inside" or within. Endodontists work with the "inside" of a tooth.
