Description
This book provides the undergraduate student with a comprehensive, full colour, step-by-step guide to endodontics. It covers the principles and practice of endodontics and is presented in a simple, no-nonsense style that will help to demystify this essential aspect of the clinical practice of dentistry. Broken down into three sections, the first section covers the essential theory; the second is concerned with the practicalities and, most importantly, provides base level criteria for success in the various aspects of treatment. The final section provides a selection of questions and answers based on clinical scenarios that explore the application of preceding sections. These three distinct, but related, sections are colour-coded to encourage the reader to move between areas of interest. This book will prove to be an essential guide to understanding endodontics in clinical practice.
