Abstract

One of the most overlooked steps in endodontic therapy is the removal of necrotic debris from the root canal. Disinfection of the complex root canal system is the axiomatic principle for the success of endodontic therapy. Before placement of intracanal medicaments or obturating materials, it is essential to eliminate the biofilm from the root canal system completely [1]. Various limiting factors encountered by dentists during root canal disinfection: biofilm in the isthmus, apical delta and non-instrumented areas in the root canal system.
