Root canal treatment is an endodontist procedure performed by a dentist to remove infected pulp tissue of root canal.
Terms to Know :
There are various parts of a tooth like crown, dentine, enamel, pulp etc. The central cavity of the tooth is called as Root canal. Every teeth has a root canal and these root canals contain various vital and minute structures like veins, arteries, nervers, lymphatics and soft tissue. This together is also knows as Pulp tissue.
The pulp gets infected often due to injury or systemic infection. This infection starts from root canal and spreads down to root, jaw bone and can cause severe pain, swelling, purulent abscess and osteomyelities of jaw bones.

In this situation, root canal treatment comes helpful. Instead of removing the whole tooth, performing root canal is a tooth saving option. The dentist makes a way into the root canal from the top of the tooth, removes the infected and damaged pulp tissue and fills it again with a bio-material like gutta-purcha points. And then the root canal is closed with an artificial crown or so.

Thus if you are suffering from tooth ache, swelling in mounth or root pain, consult an endodontist for appropriate treatment as early as possible because if the tooth has infected a lot, it may not be possible to save it via root canal treatment and may require complete tooth extraction.

Dental implant is a root shaped metal prosthesis placed inside (implanted in) the maxillary arch to replace the missing or broken tooth-root. Thus they are not dependent on neightbouring teeth for mechanical support and looks more natural.
This false root can be used to anchor a false upper tooth - crown, bridge replacement tooth etc.

Thus dental implants (non-visible part) are used to provide mechanical support to the tooth’s upper body that is visible. So that gives cosmetic value too. They are useful in case of good dental & periodental health and with adequate Jaw bone density. They can be used to fill gaps between teeth, replace any broker/damaged tooth, to provide support to a bridge or denture, etc.

There are two types of dental implants :
- SubPeriosteal - the implant is placed on the top of the maxillary bone are helpful in patients with less jaw-bone height.
- Endosteal - implant is actully implanted in the jaw bone. Most commonly used and can be screw, blades, cylinders etc.

So dental implants are a newer way to get a natural looking false teeth with reliable support, strength, durability and esthesis.
