[Wet root canal instrumentation and microbiologic monitoring of treatment results].
The time and frequency of wet and dry root canal instrumentation of teeth with apical periodontitis were compared. The importance of negative microbiological culture for the success rate and for the number of treatment appointments was determined. According to the microbiological and clinical results wet instrumentation is the more effective treatment. Microbiological testing is not requested for routine use.
