    The document discusses the objectives and principles of cleaning and shaping root canals during endodontic procedures. The mechanical objectives are to create a continuously tapering funnel from the apex to access cavity with diameters narrowing apically. The biological objectives are to confine instrumentation to the roots, not force debris beyond the apex, and remove all tissue and debris while keeping the apical foramen in its original position and as small as possible. This allows for space for intracanal medications and completion of the preparation in one appointment.
