Endodontic treatment refers to which dental procedure?

Explanation:
Endodontic treatment is the procedure that treats the inside of a tooth—the pulp and root canal system. When the pulp becomes inflamed or infected, root canal therapy removes the pulp tissue, disinfects and shapes the canals, and then fills and seals them to prevent reinfection, with the goal of saving the natural tooth. This is different from a gingivectomy (gum tissue surgery), a dental implant (replacing a missing tooth with an artificial root and crown), or prophylaxis (a routine cleaning to prevent disease). So endodontic treatment specifically addresses the tooth’s interior to preserve the tooth.
