This comprehensive guide, edited by Dr Oliver Pontius and co-authored by world-leading international authorities in their respective fields, has been designed for general dental practitioners, postgraduate dental students, and clinicians in other fields of dentistry. It is an up-to-date overview of endodontic knowledge and techniques, providing all the clinically relevant information to incorporate endodontics into general dental practice, emphasizing the relationship of endodontics with other dental disciplines. The book, enhanced by clear visuals and clinical protocols, is divided into six sections: the science of endodontics, diagnosis, advances in materials and technology, the practice of endodontics, prognosis, and interdisciplinary endodontics. Great importance has been afforded to diagnosis and treatment planning, allowing patient autonomy to make the final decision and always respecting what is in the patient’s best interest. Anyone interested in predictable endodontics based on cuttingedge research and sound clinical data should consider reading this book.
