Guidelines for non-surgical root canal treatment

Abstract

Guidelines were developed by the Australian Society of Endodontology Inc. with the intent to describe relevant aspects of contemporary evidence-based root canal treatment. The document aims to support clinicians by describing a Standard of Practice in the Australian context. The presented guidelines refer to Competence criteria and Quality standards for the main steps in root canal treatment. While the intent is not to replace individual clinical decision-making, it is envisaged that these periodically reviewable guidelines may help to improve clinical outcomes.
