title: Can we fulfil even the basics of endodontic therapy?
abstract: Micro-organisms and lipopolysaccharides (LPS) are involved in inducing periapical inflammation. Therefore, it is important to eliminate them from the complex root canal system and seal the endodontic space as accurately as possible. This is possible with a combination of the following: instrumentation of the canal, eventually with new, motor driven instruments, abundant rinsing with NaOCl, dressing preferably with Ca(OH)2, sealing the root canal and incorporating the permanent restoration within three months after root canal filling to avoid reinfection.
