Endodontics (from the Greek endo 'inside'; and odons 'tooth') deals with the tooth pulp and the tissues surrounding the root of a tooth. If the pulp (containing nerves, arterioles, venules, lymphatic tissue, and fibrous tissue) becomes diseased or injured, endodontic treatment is required to save the tooth.
