Some factors involved in mechanical instrumentation in the root canal of a permanent tooth

Endodontics can best be defined in the words of the preface of the Bulletin on Endodontics prepared by the University of Toronto Dental School, This states that "endodontics is the union of two Greek words 'endo' within and 'odontos' a tooth. The English equivalent of these two Greek words encompasses the practice of all therapeutic and surgioal procedures relating to the protection of the vital pulp, bioaechanical and biochemical treatment of the pathologically involved pulp and the material obliteration of the apace formerly containing that pulp". This investigation is, how¬ ever, only involved with one of these factors, namely, bioaechanical instrumentation.
