Presence of Biofilm Inside the Root Canal System
Topic:Learning Objectives:
At the conclusion of the presentation, participants should be able to show the presence and importance of biofilm inside the root canal system, and the importance of its removal.
By means of SEM, the necrotic root canal system is explored. Visualization of bacterial colonies is possible due to SEM technology. The root canal system is reviewed in a 3-D approach in order to present the different anatomical variables that exist. Root canal irrigation is essential along with mechanical root canal preparation in order to remove biofilm from inside the root canal system.
