Registered summary
Bacteria inside the root canal are a major cause of tooth infections. If they are not completely removed, the infection may continue even after root canal treatment. One bacterium, Enterococcus faecalis, is commonly found in persistent root canal infections. The goal of root canal treatment is to remove these bacteria and prevent the infection from returning. Along with cleaning the canal using dental instruments, dentists use disinfecting solutions (called irrigants) to kill remaining bacteria. The most commonly used irrigant is 3% sodium hypochlorite. The full summary is on the listing.
