Endodontic treatment is an operation using microtools to the interior of the tooth, in cases of infection or necrosis of its pulp (the pulp cavity containing its nerves and vessels), in order to avoid extraction. During endodontic treatment the damaged or necrotic pulp is removed, the root canal is sterilized and filled with an elastic material(gutta-percha) to avoid bacterial recontamination.<\/p>\n<\/div>
