A thorough understanding of disease etiology and pathogenesis is cardinal to any healthcare profession and provides the framework for effective treatment. Consequently, a thorough understanding of the microbiological aspects of apical periodontitis is the basis for high-quality endodontic practice based on a solid scientific foundation. The first section of this book deals with microbiologic and pathophysiologic aspects of apical periodontitis, while the second section describes the best evidence for predictable treatment and prevention of the disease. Clinical techniques and protocols to treat endodontic infections are also described in detail.
