Root canal procedures drill out infected pulp and fill the tooth with material, but the deeper issue remains. The thousands of lateral and accessory canals, unreachable by tools, may still harbor infection-causing bacteria. A 'fixed' tooth doesn’t always mean a healthy one.

Endodontic materials are used in endodontic treatment, which is the procedure to save the tooth when the pulp and/or periradicular tissues are injured. These materials can be generally classified into two groups: materials used to maintain the vitality of the pulp (pulp capping materials), and materials used to disinfect (irrigants and intracanal medicaments) and fill the pulp in root canal therapy.
