Title Of Article :
Root canal medicaments
Abstract :
Bacteria have been implicated in the pathogenesis and progression of pulpal and periapical diseases. The success of root canal treatment largely depends on bacterial elimination from the root canal system. This can be achieved by using combination of aseptic treatment techniques, biomechanical preparation of the root canal, irrigation with antimicrobial solutions and use of intracanal medicaments. Various medicaments have been used to achieve disinfection of the root canal system. This review deals with medicaments commonly used in endodontics. Further research is required to determine the best medicament to be used in the treatment of root canal infections.
