Newer endodontic therapeutic treatment.

Current concepts of endodontic treatment have changed over the years; however, the fundamental principles remain constant. We in the veterinary field have seen rapid technological advances in the field of human endodontics that we have tried to adapt to our patients. Veterinary endodontists must continually evaluate new instruments, devices, and procedures with the overall goal in mind: to give the patient the best care possible by proper diagnosis, removal of intracanal irritants, and creation of an environment suitable for healing. The design is not as important as how the instrument is used. As a result, keep in mind patience, prudence, and practice. All instruments and techniques have limitations, but the most important limitation is within ourselves.
