Caries removal before root canal treatment
Is it appropriate to complete root canal treatment before all the caries has been removed?
Translated version of the Turkish original
In my view, even starting treatment at that point is inappropriate. The caries is removed, and even calculus around the tooth is cleared away. The cavity is disinfected with hypochlorite before the canals are entered. Otherwise the risk of canal contamination and a flare-up during treatment increases.
