Endodontics

It is the method used in the treatment of infectious conditions that occur at the root tip as a result of trauma or decay in the tooth progressing to the vessel and nerve package. The term endodontics is derived from the Greek words endo (internal) and odons (tooth). As it can be understood from these descriptions, endodontics is the science that intervenes and solves the problems related to the inner parts of the teeth. More precisely, endodontics is the branch of dentistry that deals with the diagnosis and treatment of diseases related to the dental pulp (nerve tissue) and tissues surrounding the tooth.
