Description
Endodontics (4th ed.)
Book Summary
This fourth edition of Endodontics establishes itself as the reference manual for dentistry students and professionals seeking to master the theoretical foundations and the most advanced techniques in root canal treatment. Directed by Dr. Carlos Canalda and Dr. Esteban Brau, professors at the University of Barcelona, the work integrates the most recent scientific evidence with clinical practice. The reader will find an exhaustive update of all chapters, with special emphasis on new materials, instrumentation, diagnostic imaging, and regenerative endodontics, all presented with a didactic and applied approach.
What is it about?
The book provides a comprehensive approach to endodontics, from the pathogenesis of pulpal diseases to the most complex surgical techniques. The work is structured into chapters covering clinical and radiographic diagnosis, dental anatomy, pharmacology, instrumentation and obturation of canals, as well as periapical surgery. This new edition incorporates substantial modifications in key areas: materials, instruments, and techniques for canal preparation and obturation are updated; regenerative endodontics is introduced as an emerging field; diagnostic imaging via cone-beam computed tomography is explored in depth; and the pathogenesis of pulpal disease is rethought from an evidence-based perspective. Additionally, it includes clinical cases and self-assessment questions available online to reinforce learning.
Main Topics
- Clinical and radiographic diagnosis of pulpal and periapical pathologies
- Anatomy and morphology of root canals
- Advanced materials, instruments, and techniques for canal preparation and obturation
- Regenerative endodontics: principles and clinical applications
- Diagnostic imaging with cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT)
- Updated, evidence-based pathogenesis of pulpal disease
- Periapical surgery and endodontic retreatment
Who is it recommended for?
This manual is primarily aimed at undergraduate dentistry students who need a solid and updated foundation in endodontics. It is also an essential reference tool for general dentists and endodontic specialists who wish to update their knowledge on the latest techniques and materials, as well as for professionals preparing for specialization exams or seeking to integrate scientific evidence into their daily practice.
