Endodontics focuses on preventing and treating dental pulp and periapical infections. Effective treatment relies on thorough chemo-mechanical cleaning and disinfection of root canals, often using calcium hydroxide, to eliminate bacteria and achieve successful outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Endodontics
  • Microbiology
  • Periodontology

Background:

  • Endodontics addresses pulpal and periapical infections.
  • Pulpitis inflammation is less influenced by tooth anatomy than previously thought.
  • Pulpal diseases are often underdiagnosed due to inadequate examination methods.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Investigate infective processes in endodontics.
  • Understand pulp and periodontium mechanisms against microbial insults.
  • Explore advancements in pulpal diagnostics and root canal treatment efficacy.

Main Methods:

  • Review of recent research on pulpal and periapical infections.
  • Analysis of hemodynamics in pulpitis.
  • Evaluation of chemo-mechanical instrumentation and disinfection techniques, including calcium hydroxide use.

  • Assessment of a standardized root canal preparation technique.

    • Main Results:

    • Bacterial presence is essential for apical periodontitis with bone resorption.
    • Root canal infections involve anaerobic bacteria and synergism.
    • Non-oral organisms like Pseudomonas aeruginosa are found in resistant cases.
    • A standardized canal preparation technique yields a clean canal with excellent clinical results.

    Conclusions:

    • Successful endodontic treatment hinges on bacterial elimination.
    • Thorough chemo-mechanical instrumentation and disinfection with calcium hydroxide are predictable methods.
    • Standardized techniques for root canal preparation are effective.
    • Laser Doppler flowmetry may improve future pulpal diagnostics.
