Its primary purpose is the elimination of infection within the root canal system and the prevention of future microbial invasion. Although modern techniques and materials have evolved significantly, the fundamental biological principles underpinning RCT […]
Vital pulp therapy
The preservation of pulp vitality is one of the most important goals in restorative dentistry and endodontics. While traditional endodontic therapy has focused on treating diseases of the pulp by removing necrotic or irreversibly inflamed tissue, modern dentistry places significant emphasis on maintaining the natural biology of the tooth whenever possible. Understanding how to preserve […]
