Intracanal infection and disinfection. Can current irrigation techniques achieve a predictable and efficient result?

This lecture will provide attendees with an understanding of the flaws of irrigation/disinfection studies when addressing a monoculture as the cause of persistent disease. Clinically, the hydrodynamics involved during irrigation of the root canal system will be addressed, as well as the balance between safely and efficiently delivering irrigating solutions to the apical third and difficult-to-reach areas, the understanding of chemical undesirable irrigant interactions and how to avoid them.
