Endodontic therapy

This resource emphasizes the clinical aspects of endodontics. An extensive collection of -before and after- patient cases are illustrated with a generous number of radiographs - many of which span over 25 years posttreatment. Offering relevant information in a convenient size, this 6th edition reflects the major changes in instruments, techniques in canal preparation, and the advances in canal filling that have occurred in the field. Discussions of drug therapy include coverage of non-steroidal, antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Retreatment and restoration of the endodontically treated tooth are addressed. Non-surgical alternatives to routine endodontic treatment are included. The simple, concise language makes difficult topics easy to understand.
