Endodontics
The fundamental goal of conventional endodontics taught at the US dental schools and that sustained by Sargenti is exactly the same.

The common objective is to save endodontically involved teeth from the forcep to prevent the disruption of the masticatory apparatus.

The debate whether the Sargenti modalities are acceptable or not is a mere exercise in futility because the N2 Method has already shown its effectiveness in a long period of extensive clinical application. The Sargenti procedures are routinely used by thousands of practising dentists in the USA as well as all over the world.

THE SCIENTIFIC BACKGROUND of the N2 Method has already been established three decades ago by internationally recognized European researchers. The list of published studies appears in the literature which accompanies all textx on Sargenti Endodontics.

Excerpt: Endodontic therapy is a sequence of treatment for the pulp of a tooth whose end result is the elimination of infection and protection of the decontaminated tooth from future microbial invasion. Although this set of procedures is commonly referred to as a root canal, this term is imprecise; root canals and their associated pulp chamber are the anatomical hollows within a tooth which are naturally inhabited by nerve tissue, blood vessels and a number of other cellular entities, whereas endodontic therapy includes the complete removal of these structures, the subsequent cleaning, shaping and decontamination of these hollows with the use of tiny files and irrigating solutions and the obturation, or filling, of the decontaminated root canals with an inert filling, such as gutta percha and a usually eugenol-based cement. After the surgery the tooth will be "dead", and if the infection is spread at apex, root end surgery is required. Although the procedure is relatively painless when done properly, the root canal remains the stereotypically fearsome dental operation, and, in the United States, a common response to an unpleasant proposal is, "I'd rather have a root canal."
