Abstract		Background. The results of epidemiological studies reveal the connection between chronic dental infections, where endodontic focus also belongs, and some of the diseases of organism. Mixed oral bacterial flora from root canal acts as the mayor factor of disease. Conclusions. New statements in microbiology and molecular biology explain possible ways of focal disease development. The dentist's decision about the method of treatment is made after the consultation with other physicians.
Summary		Izhodišča. Izsledki epidemioloških študij ugotavjajo povezavo med kroničnimi zobnimi vnetji, kamor sodi tudi endodontsko žarišče, in nekaterimi boleznimi organizma. Glavni bolezenski dejavnik je mešana ustna bakterijska flora v koreninskem kanalu zoba. Zaključki. Nova dognanja v mikrobiologiji in molekularni biologiji osvetljujejo možne načine razvoja žariščne bolezni. Zobozdravnik se odloči za način zdravljenja po posvetovanju z drugimi zdravniki.
