Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Dental cavities are one of the most prevalent sources of infection in the human body. If left untreated, this disease process can progress through the tooth into the surrounding bone, resulting in apical periodontitis. There are several studies that show the link between apical periodontitis and systemic disease. The treatment for apical periodontitis is root canal treatment, which involves three components: cleaning, shaping, and obturation of the infected space inside the tooth. There have been many innovations over the past decade such as activated irrigation using lasers or Gentlewave, heat treated nickel–titanium shaping files, and bioceramic obturation materials. These innovations will lead to even further improvements of the highly successful root canal treatment procedure. We would like to discuss the advanced new materials and equipment for root canal treatment. It is my pleasure to invite you to submit a manuscript for this Special Issue. This Special Issue will introduce new concepts in root canal treatment, including root canal irrigation and root canal obturation. Newly developed materials or instruments are welcomed in this Special Issue. Full papers, communications, and reviews are all welcome.
