Abstract:
Root canal therapy is currently the most effective treatment for pulpal and periapical diseases. With the innovation of endodontic theory and techniques, the concept of contemporary root canal therapy has been established and promoted gradually. Advances in endodontic technology, instruments, and materials have increased the safety and clinical success rate of root canal therapy. This article reviews the recent theoretical research and clinical practices of contemporary root canal therapy.
