Foreword
Apical periodontitis is an infectious disease related to the presence of microorganisms in the root canal system of teeth. Its treatment therefore must be directed at eliminating or, at the very least, reducing the infecting microbiota, to levels that allow healing to occur. Advances in microbiology have identified the nature and complexity of the infecting microbiota and the ability of some of its members to collectively survive under the harshest of conditions. The treatment of apical periodontitis has historically been based upon two pillars, the mechanical removal of necrotic tissue and microorganisms from the root canal system and the irrigation of the root canal system with chemical agents, to supplement removal of tissue and microorganisms from areas of the system tha
