Presentation Description/Abstract: Evidence-based research consistently demonstrates the correlation between microbial contamination of the root canal system and apical periodontitis. Cleaning and disinfection of the apical third remains one of the most critical factors leading to healing and favorable endodontic outcome. Besides the microbiological challenges, from a clinical perspective, the root canal system imposes physical and anatomical complex challenges that are difficult to overcome. The development of new technologies and new evidence from the literature has only widened the already existing debate. The purpose of this presentation will be to provide a clinical perspective on how to overcome these challenges in order to obtain a predictable and efficient disinfection of the apical third.

Learning Objectives:

  • Review the clinical challenges for disinfection of the apical third.
  • Describe the advantages and disadvantages of contemporary techniques.
  • Discuss new clinical protocols to enhance disinfection and increase predictability.
