- Diagnosis: An initial examination, often including X-rays, to determine the need for root canal therapy.

- Filling the Canal: The cleaned canal is filled with a biocompatible material, usually a rubber-like material called gutta-percha, and sealed.
- Restoration: A crown or filling is often needed to restore the tooth to its full function and appearance.
