In this manuscript, present situations of this new trend were summarized and discussed by showing some new topics that attracted attention such as new changes and development of new instruments or materials. 1. Conservative treatment of infected pulp The concept of lesion sterilization and tissue repair (LSTR) therapy was shown as a method of avoiding pulpectomy that leads to loss of the tooth as much as possible, and its effectiveness and indication were discussed. 2. The advances in root canal preparation and a new method The history of root canal preparation techniques was reviewed, and Nickel-Titanium files with super elasticity, which have attracted much attention for the application to curved canal enlargement, were evaluated by comparing with conventional instruments. 3. Laser application to endodontics The effects of various kinds lasers were discussed in relation to the areas of endodontics where each laser is applied. 4. Intracanal medication with calcium hydroxide The use of calcium hydroxide, which has recently attracted attention as an intracanal medicament, was discussed, by showing its effectiveness and some technical problems in clinical application. 5. Microendodontics Advantages and potential of endodontic procedures using dental operation microscopes were summarized. 6. New development of root canal obturation techniques and root canal filling materials Some negative aspects of the root canal obturation technique, which is the main current method of root canal filling, were pointed out, and the obturation method that has been studied based on a new concept was discussed., application/pdf}, pages = {89--101}, title = {歯内療法のニューウェーブ}, volume = {26}, year = {2000} }
