Synopsis

Focuses on those areas in endodontics that present the most difficulty in successful diagnosis and treatment. Key areas such as locating and negotiating fine and calcified canals, canal cleaning and shaping, root canal obturation, non-surgical root canal retreatment and management of endodontic emergencies are addressed in a systematic, problem-solving manner which stresses prevention of problems in treatment, identification of problems already present or occurring during a treatment, and management of such problems when they are recognised. All common problems are addressed, and solutions are provided in a step-by-step fashion.

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."
