endodontic infections

Endodontic infections arise from microbial colonisation of the root canal system, causing periapical pathosis and, in severe cases, spreading fascial space infections. Root canal treatment with chemomechanical debridement and obturation resolves most infections; refractory or complex cases may require apical surgery or extraction. Emerging antimicrobial irrigants, photodynamic therapy, and novel regenerative approaches are under evaluation.
