The changes that have taken place in endodontic treatment over the past 25 years can be summarized succinctly. Although the methods and materials have changed markedly, the basic principles of asepsis, enlargement, and seal remained unchanged. Predictably successful endodontic treatment is an everyday occurrence in the 1980s. It is a result of understanding the basic principles of treatment, combined with the ability to deliver these services in an orderly, expeditious, and thorough manner. With future advances in research and technology, the elusive goal of 100 per cent success may become a reality in this century.
过去25年中牙髓病治疗所发生的变化可以简要概括。尽管方法和材料有了显著改变，但无菌、根管扩大和封闭的基本原则仍未改变。在20世纪80年代，可预测成功的牙髓病治疗已屡见不鲜。这是理解治疗基本原则，并具备以有序、迅速和彻底的方式提供这些治疗服务能力的结果。随着未来研究和技术的进步，牙髓病治疗100%成功这一难以实现的目标在本世纪可能会成为现实。
