Practical Lessons in Endodontic Treatment

Eight American academics draw on 150-plus years of combined experience in developing and teaching graduate endodontic programs and in managing private practices to create an easy-to-use, workbook approach to the provision of reliable nonsurgical root canal therapy. The 42 chapters are organized into sections covering examination and diagnosis; treatment strategies and decision- making; preparation for treatment; canal instrumentation–shaping, disinfection, and case management; endodontic obturation; and emergency and adjunctive endodontic procedures. Each lesson presents a different component of endodontic therapy and includes simple step-by-step clinical procedures, tips and recommendations. The text is designed to assist dentists and their support staffs in implementing technological and procedural recommendations to simplify daily routine, build confidence and skill, enhance treatment outcomes, and make root canal treatment more rewarding, profitable, and fun.
