1] Objective-The objective of endodontic therapy is restoration of the treated tooth to its proper form and function in the masticatory apparatus, in a healthy state.


2] Basic phases of therapy: three phases


first phase-diagnostic phase-in which the disease to be treated, is determined and treatment plan developed.


second phase-preparatory phase-when the contents of the root canal are removed and the canal prepared for the filling material.


third phase-involve filling or obliterating canal to gain hermetic seal with an inert material as close as possible to cementodentinal junction.




3] Importance of debridement
Endodontic is essentially a debridement procedure that require the removal of  the irritants of the canal and periapical tissue if success  is to be gained.


Debridement may be required in various ways:
1] instrumentation of the canal
2] placement of the medicament
3] irrigant
4] electrolysis
5] surgery


4] Use of rubber dam is mandatory


5] Great respect due the periapical tissue during treatment


6] Proper restoration the culmination of success


7] Postoperative observation necessary
