ClinConnect Summary
Root canal therapy seeks to eradicate root canal infections and prevent their recurrence. Given the intricate nature of the root canal system and biofilm formations, achieving complete disinfection with current techniques is challenging. Nevertheless, it has been noted that residual microorganisms within the root canal contribute significantly to either the healing or the development of apical periodontitis. Various methods, such as sonic and ultrasonic activation, laser application, and PDT (Photodynamic Therapy), have been proposed in literature to enhance root canal disinfection.
