Pathology is the study of the causes and effects of disease or injury. The word pathology also refers to the study of disease in general, incorporating a wide range of biology research fields and medical practices. However, when used in the context of modern medical treatment, the term is often used more narrowly to refer to processes and tests that fall within the contemporary medical field of "general pathology", an area that includes some distinct but inter-related medical specialties that diagnose disease, mostly through analysis of tissue, cell, and body fluid samples.

Root canal treatment is performed by a dentist to repair and save a badly damaged or infected tooth instead of removing it. The term "root canal" comes from the cleaning of the canals inside a tooth's root. Decades ago, root canal treatments often were painful. With dental advances and local anesthetics, most people have little if any pain during a root canal. Living with a decayed tooth is probably more painful. Root canal alternatives include extracting the damaged tooth, no further treatment, or replacing the tooth with a dental implant, bridge, or removable partial denture.
