Description: Endodontic treatment is directed towards the elimination of micro-organisms from the root canal system and prevention of re-infection. Chemo-mechanical preparation of the root canal system through a combination of mechanical instrumentation and antibacterial irrigation is a critical stage in aiding in elimination of pulpal tissue, microbiota and their by-products, and organic and inorganic debris hence marking it as the single most important stage in disinfection of the pulp space.This book highlights the role of various irrigants, intracanal medicaments and the latest disinfection techniques useful during and after biomechanical preparation, thus improving the state of the art and science of root canal treatment.
