Abstract
Nonsurgical root canal therapy has become a routine procedure in modern dentistry. The clinician is dedicated to excellence in the art and science of dentisty and to the highest standards of patient care. Successful endodontics depends on a number of factors. The abilities and knowledge of the dentist, including training and experience, are of primary importance. Clinicians must always have a scientifically sound, evidence-based rationale for every treatment decision that is made so they may best serve the patients who trust them with their care. 
If clinicians wish to approach treating these teeth, they should have the appropriate armamentarium and be capable of performing these very specialized techniques at the highest level. Appropriate diagnosis, instrumentation, obturation and restoration are the main steps involved in the treatment of teeth with pulpal and periapical diseases. Recent technical and scientific advances in endodontics have resulted in the retention of millions of teeth that would otherwise be lost. It is universally accepted that a natural tooth with a good prognosis is a superior choice to loss and replacement. One of the most important key element for successful treatment to believe in the philosophy of what you take out of a root canal are more important than what you put in it.
