DE LIMA MACHADO, Manoel Eduardo. Current status of focal infection and the success of endodontic treatment. Rev. Asoc. Odontol. Argent. [online]. 2023, vol.111, n.2, pp.1-1. ISSN 2683-7226.  http://dx.doi.org/10.52979/raoa.1110801.1225.

Facing the diffusion of alarming and anti-scientific statements in the media, this editorial seeks the scientific bases to determine the clinical behavior. Thus, the text runs through the concept of focal infection from its origin and across its conceptual transformations through scientific discoveries, by considering the emotional characteristics of each patient as a whole and the dangers to which they may be exposed in the face of half-truths.

Palavras-chave : Disinfection; endodontics; focal infection; health.
