Abstract
What is root-canal treatment? This article shows how endodontic treatment (root-canal therapy) can preserve teeth that would otherwise be extracted, and how tooth-pulp pathology can be diagnosed. Some clinical examples illustrate how non-dental infections can masquerade as dental problems, and vice versa.
Keywords: endodontics, root-canal therapy, toothache
