Root canal treatment may not result in healing for a number of reasons. The most frequent reasons are failure to eliminate microorganisms that were present at the time of initial treatment or the reintroduction of the microorganisms into the root canal system after initial treatment was completed. the healthy pulp and periodontium. So, knowledge of microbiology is essential to an understanding of basic methods of Endodontic debridement and canal sealing.
