Endodontics is the dental specialty concerned with the study and treatment of the dental pulp, aiming to prevent tooth loss. To do this, the affected dental pulp is removed as well as the microorganisms installed there, leaving a resulting cavity, which is filled and sealed with inert and biocompatible material. On the other hand, it also fights the infection installed in the periodontal support tissues.
