The critical step for successful treatment of an infected root canal system is to treat the root canal in such a way as to remove as many microbes as possible (in the case of a necrotic tooth) or to maintain the sterility of the canal (in the case of a vital tooth); this is called the microbial control phase of root canal treatment. This article describes the steps required for adequate microbial control. The rationale for minimal apical file sizes and irrigation and antimicrobial medicaments required are described in detail.
成功治疗感染根管系统的关键步骤是以尽可能清除更多微生物（对于死髓牙而言）或保持根管无菌（对于活髓牙而言）的方式来处理根管；这被称为根管治疗的微生物控制阶段。本文描述了充分进行微生物控制所需的步骤。详细阐述了最小根尖锉尺寸以及所需冲洗液和抗菌药物的基本原理。
