| Abstract | The infected canal is the root cause of apical periodontitis. Bacteria that colonize the root canal system are not free floating, but exist as a biofilm attaching on the canal wall. Management of the infected root canal has customarily been achieved via chemomechanical preparation, with numerous studies in the 20th century focusing on mechanical debridement or instrumentation techniques. In the new millennium,
there is a shift in research emphasis to removal of the endodontic biofilm by various physical and chemical means. This presentation will examine various clinical strategies, and explore newer and potentially more effective approaches to combat the root canal biofilm. |
