Disinfection of Root Canal Systems: The Treatment of Apical Periodontitis is an evidence-based manual that describes root canal anatomy, the endodontic biofilm, and the role of disinfection before presenting the most up-to-date methods of irrigation and disinfection. Individual chapters are devoted to each method, such as positive pressure irrigation, apical negative pressure irrigation, sonic activation, photodynamic therapy, laser technology, and ozonization and electrochemical activation. Clinical photographs throughout show proper irrigation and disinfection techniques.

Key Features:

• Clinically focused to be of practical use to endodontists and general dentists
• Discusses the latest infection-control methods—lasers, ozonization, electrochemical activation
• Photographs and illustrations show proper techniques and equipment
