Comparison of Treatment Methods for Chronic Periapical Inflammatory Diseases // Сравняване на методи за лечение на хронични периапикални възпалителни заболявания

One of the main etiological factors for the development of apical periodontitis is the presence of microorganisms colonizing the root canal system. To achieve optimal results from endodontic treatment, bacterial populations in the root canal must be eliminated or at least significantly reduced to levels compatible with the healing process of periapical tissues. The endodontic environment provides a selective medium for the creation of a mixed, predominantly anaerobic flora. The treatment of periodontitis aims to eliminate the etiological factor, i.e. microorganisms and their toxins; to influence the inflammatory process in the periapical tissues and to stimulate the healing process; to provide an airtight filling of the root canal to isolate the apical periodontium from contact with saliva in the oral cavity. The removal of the etiological factor is associated with mechanical and chemical treatment of the root canal. Since most endodontic problems are of microbial origin, their removal is considered the most important step in root canal therapy. The number of visits to treat infected root canals is one of the most discussed topics in endodontics. Endodontic treatment through multiple visits is a traditionally accepted method. However, an alternative protocol involving one visit has been proposed. The concept of treating root canals in one step was described in the 1980s.
