The quest for innovations and fascination for learning has led to revolution in every field and Dentistry is no exception. Perforation repairs, apexification, root end fillings, pulp therapies, surgical and non surgical are few of the procedures which are performed regularly with predictable prognosis in dentistry. As it is rightly said "Necessity is the mother of Invention," the need for an ideal material with predictable seal ability, good biocompatibility, increased moisture sensitivity and healing ability led to development of MINERAL TRIOXIDE AGGREGATE, a new material with innumerable...

Firstly I would like to thank my parents, guide, and the entire staff of conservative dentistry and endodontics for their blessings and constant motivation that led to the accomplishment of this success. I believe there is no solution without hardwork and dedication. Having achieved numerous awards for scientific presentations at national and state level and practicing clinical dentistry, I gained immense confidence to express this particular concept in form of a book. So I hereby take this opportunity to highlight the most fascinating specialized branch arising in dentistry of which majority...

The golden rule in the practice of Endodontology is to debride and complete the obturation as efficiently and three dimensionally as possible and is considered to be an important part of root canal treatment.The purpose of sealing root canals is to prevent re-entry and colonization of bacteria and to prevent residual bacteria from reaching the periapical tissues.The sealer has a primary role in sealing the canal by obliterating the irregularities between the canal wall and the core material.The concept of apical seal has lead to development of variety of sealer that were stable,...

The potential to generate tooth-colored restorations and more conservative tooth preparation forms using Adhesive techniques have driven the search for an amalgam alternative material. With the development of improved adhesive and restorative resin-based composite systems, have become predictably successful in the restoration of posterior teeth .Over the past several years, dentists have seen an explosion in the number of aesthetic materials available. Since the early stages of development, it had been anticipated that composites would have a promising future with improvement of their...

Our ultimate goal is to assertively teach the future generation of graduate students and also train our colleagues to incorporate these techniques and concepts into everyday practice.We must continuously run well controlled experiments, clinical as well as biological, on many new techniques and materials to meet the present and future challenges. we believe that endodontic microsurgery with MTA is a predictable procedure to save teeth. We must assertively teach the future generation of graduate students, and also train our collegues to incorporate these techniques into everyday clinical...

Regenerative endodontics is one of the most exciting developments in dentistry today and endodontists are at the forefront of this cutting-edge research. Regenerative endodontics uses the concept of tissue engineering to restore the root canals to a healthy state, allowing for continued development of the root and surrounding tissue. Endodontists' knowledge in the fields of pulp biology, dental trauma and tissue engineering can be applied to deliver biologically based regenerative endodontic treatment of necrotic immature permanent teeth resulting in continued root development, increased...
