Synopsis

Focusing on endodontic problem-solving and troubleshooting techniques, this book covers ways to avoid problems throughout the full spectrum of treatment from diagnosis to posttreatment. In delivering a consistently high level of quality care, this approach follows three steps: how to prevent problems in treatment, how to identify problems that exist or that occur during treatment, and how to manage those problems once they are recognized. This edition offers practical ways to address the most common clinical problems, scenarios, and issues that pose dilemmas for the student or clinician.

About this title

Review

"For endodontists and general dentists, Gutmann (restorative sciences, Baylor College of Dentistry) and Lovdahl, who has a practice in endodontics, offer an evidence-based approach to common procedures in endodontics that covers problem-solving approaches and challenges to diagnosis, treatment planning, surgical and nonsurgical procedures, and adjunctive dental procedures. Restructured, this edition has new chapters and sections on diagnosis and treatment planning, especially radiographic images, differential diagnosis of bony defects, and diagnosis of treatment failure and nonodontogenic pain. The surgery section has been expanded to include new case studies and more coverage of indications and applications for surgeries, and chapters on irrigation and disinfection and working length determination are integrated. New technologies and materials are included, and coverage of tooth trauma incorporates established treatment planning outcomes, while coverage of tooth hypersensitivity and techniques to revitalize the compromised tissues in teeth with immature apical development has been expanded. Rare conditions are excluded."
