Endodontics is the area of dentistry dealing with the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of disorders of the dental pulp. The most common therapies are root canal treatments, resections and post/core treatments.

Root canal treatment
Root canal treatment involves the removal of the nerve from the tooth by drilling a hole in the top surface of the tooth. The inside is cleaned out with disinfectants and needle-like instruments. The root canal is then dried and a rubber filling placed down the inside of the tooth.

Root Resection
Root resection refers to an endodontic surgical procedure to remove an untreatable, fractured, or dissolving root while retaining the original tooth's structure. Root resection and other endodontic surgical procedures are done in instances where conventional endodontic (root canal) treatment is not sufficient in saving the affected tooth.

Post/Core
A post is a metallic structure that is placed within the body of the root of a tooth that has had previous root canal therapy. It can only be placed in a tooth that has had endodontic therapy ( root canal ) since once the dentist enters the nerve, the nerve dies. Root canal therapy prevents further infection and discomfort.
