American Endodontic Society

The American Endodontic Society endorses and teaches the technique of root canal therapy commonly referred to as the Sargenti or N2 method.

                                                                                                                                              

OUR MISSION

To provide educational and scientific information on simplified endodontic procedures; to protect and preserve the right of the general dentist to perform those procedures for which he is qualified by education and experience.

“Endodontists report success in the high 95% level, while reports state only 80% success for the profession at large. It appears that merely educating dentists to use the current available techniques known well to endodontists is not enough.”

Dr. Gordon Christensen




Featuring Dr. Alvin Arzt with Dr. Joe Steven & Dr. Mark Troilo


Dr. Alvin Arzt was a personal friend and colleague of Dr. Angelo Sargenti. He introduced mechanical instrumentation to the U.S., publishing one of the first articles on the use of the reciprocating Giromatic handpiece. He was one of the first dentists to advocate one visit root canals and helped eliminate culturing in root canals. Most of the accepted principles of basic root canal techniques used today were first introduced by Drs. Sargenti and Arzt. Dr. Arzt is author of the text Canal Engineering For Everyday Practice and numerous articles on root canal therapy.


Dr. Joe Steven and Dr. Mark Troilo are known everywhere for their lectures on many subjects, including an Efficient-endo hands-on program by Dr. Steven. They both are members, as is Dr. Arzt, of the Ameri- can Endodontic Society, and have been strong proponents of the Sargenti technique for over 30 years! They have found tremendous success throughout their careers with the N2 technique compared to conventional endodontics!

Current research has again shown that the 6.5% paraformaldehyde in N2 is the safest and most efficient bacteriocidal root canal sealer we have today. Unlike the present mechanical techniques and other sealers that cannot de- stroy the bacteria in a canal, N2 does that up to seven to ten days, and then becomes inert like gutta percha

N2 Now The Preferred Root Canal Treatment 

in Sweden


Four Swedish dentists, Drs. Niels Norsell, B. Cederbloom and Stefen and Bengt Nordstrom, have succeeded in having the Swedish Board of Welfare reverse their ban on the use of N2 Root Canal Sealer in Sweden.

For years the endodontic specialists have used their influence in only allowing conventional root canal sealers to be used in Sweden.  


The Swedish Board of Welfare have now enough evidence to show that conventional root canal has high failure rates, but has cost the Board of Welfare large sums of money to pay for these root canal treatments, which have resulted in wasted money and large numbers of tooth extractions.  


Evidence has now been accepted, that using N2 treatments is more successful in root canal treatments, but would have resulted in a higher success rate, less health risks and at less cost to the Board.

Root Canal Treatment for Everybody

In most European countries, the general practitioner in the daily routine has to deal with a root canal problem. Treatment is time-consuming and difficult. Out of this reason, a special dentist group has developed in certain high-class and rich markets, that is the endodontists specialized in treating the root canals with special knowledge and good success. The only problems are the high price, which is needed, and the fact that social security ensured people cannot pay for this treatment. For this reason, general practitioners in most European markets use a fast and easy treatment by quick cleaning of the canal followed by filling with a spiral drill (lenrulo) with a root canal cement, or better called root canal sealer, by the name of N2. N2 contains a very low rate of formalaldehyde, not more than you'd find in a large glass of milk. Unluckily, over the years decisions were made in certain markets to ban this product and take the possibility away from general practitioners to treat the public with this procedure having been used throughout Europe for over 50 years.

This did not matter to people who are able to pay for the endodontist treatment. The fast N2 technique used by 10,000 dentists was excluded in certain markets, e.g. in Sweden, partially in Poland and possibly in other markets. Now the decisive government agencies have recognized this problem and have officially reinstated the N2 technique with an official announcement in the Swedish Dental Journal.

We think that with this move the state will save a lot of expenses because instead of extracting the root canal infected tooth, the general practitioner will start trying to save this tooth to avoid any high-price crown and bridge work in the future.

Please participate in our survey:

We are looking for documentation that N2 was used prior to 1976.  Send (by email) information pertaining to, or copies of, invoices and/or records that go back to your earliest use of N2?   This information will help document the use and success of N2 in America.

 If you can document that you have used N2 before 1976, we want to recognize your achievements.  If you can, tell us where you got your N2 at that that time.
