 ==Indications==
-Endodontics is indicated when there is, or may be, irreversible [[Pulp and Periapical Disease|pulp pathology]] (e.g. generalized pulpitis or pulp necrosis, often in combination with periapical involvement). Such cases include fractures of the [[Enamel Organ#Crown|crown]] when the pulp is exposed, non-vital teeth, [[Dental Caries|dental caries]] and iatrogenic pulp exposure in cases of crown shortening for [[Dental Malocclusion|malocclusion]] problems. In all of the above cases, extraction may be an option. Although endodontic treatment is often less traumatic and conserves strategically important teeth for both cosmetic and functional purposes it does require referral to a veterinary dental specialist for treatment.

 Failure of the endodontic treatment can occur. This is often detected radiographically. Reported success rates in dogs are 86% plus. In cases of endodontic failure, a surgical endodontic procedure can be carried out or the tooth could be extracted.

 The whole procedure is performed under general anesthesia and under strict radiographic control. It is time-consuming, as each step needs to be performed with meticulous detail to ensure a successful outcome. The outcome of conventional root canal therapy should be monitored [[Intra-Oral Radiography - Small Animal|radiographically]] for 6–12 months postoperatively, then ideally every year thereafter.
-A partial pulpectomy and direct pulp capping procedure is indicated for recent tooth crown fractures with pulp exposure in an immature tooth. An immature tooth has a thin [[dentine]] wall and an open apex, allowing a good blood supply to the pulp. Treatment is aimed at maintaining a viable pulp, as this is needed for continued root development.

 ==Contraindications==
-Endodontic treatment requires long term [[Intra-Oral Radiography - Small Animal|radiographic monitoring]], therefore a patient who is a high anaesthetic risk may not be a suitable candidate. In some cases, root canal treatment may also involve a longer surgery time, in which case, extraction is the preferable treatment in these patients.

 The objectives of conventional root canal therapy are:
