Clinician should choose a path of treatment that will result in best possible cleaning & shaping of the root canal system, coupled with an obturation technique that will provide a 3-D seal, apically, laterally, and coronally within the confines of the root canal system. We have progressed in endodontic obturation to realize that the sealer is the key to obtaining a true fluid tight seal.The challenge, more specifically, has been to find a sealer that would simultaneously bond to the canal wall as well as to the gutta-percha cone or a similar core material. Endodontic science has realized that...

Shaping and cleaning of the root canal is one the most vital phase of endodontic therapy. The goal is to obtain a continuous tapering funnel flowing with the shape of the original canal from the coronal aspect to the root apex. As Dr. Clifford J.Ruddle rightly said "If you own the Glide Path, you can consistently win the rotary game of enodontics". Glide path introduced as a secret path to radicular safety making it the path of modern endodontics is to prevent the risk of instrument fracture. The chapters highlights the Indications and importance of Glide Path in Endodontics, the Measures to...

Root canal system is one of the most complex systems of all anatomic study. The Anatomical Apical landmarks are considered extension limits for RC instrumentation and filling while preserving the apical foramen to avoid complications like zipping, tearing of the foramen. Its unquestionable the most critical area in deterring the health, success and failure of the RCT procedure. This book focuses on the Anatomy of apical region of the root canal and clinical considerations of the Apical end at various steps of the root canal procedure, the various mishaps in apical third, the prevention of...

The invasive tooth resorption pose considerable challenges in management due to its complexity and aggressive nature of the resorptive process.The book highlights the various classifications of root resorption, cells involved and mechanism of action of these cell. since a correct diagnosis and an understanding of the aetiology and dynamics of the process is critical to its effective management it also focuses on the diagnosis and the treatment part of root resorption as well as precautions that should be taken while treating such cases. with careful case selection and complete inactivation of...

Over the last two decades, tissue engineering has evolved from science fiction to science. So Biological solutions to biological problems is emerging as a new paradigm shift in medicine as well as dentistry.Tissue engineering is a contemporary area of applied biomedical research aimed at developing procedures and biomaterials for the fabrication of new tissues to replace damaged tissues and is based on the principles of cell biology, developmental biology and aims to replace dead or dying ones. This may be achieved either by transplanting cells seeded into a porous material or scaffold having...

Ce livre résume les aides au diagnostic récentes en endodontie. Une attention particulière aux aides au diagnostic et une compréhension de leur utilité et de leurs limites sont essentielles si l'on veut les utiliser le plus efficacement possible en dentisterie clinique. En équipant son instinct naturel de diagnostic d'une connaissance des progrès contemporains, le clinicien s'assure de choisir le meilleur outil de diagnostic possible pour sa trousse à outils, afin de l'aider à guider son patient sur la voie d'un traitement endodontique plus sûr.

La mise en forme et le nettoyage du canal radiculaire est l'une des phases les plus importantes du traitement endodontique. L'objectif est d'obtenir un entonnoir conique continu épousant la forme du canal d'origine depuis l'aspect coronaire jusqu'à l'apex de la racine. Comme l'a dit à juste titre le Dr Clifford J. Ruddle, "Si vous possédez le Glide Path, vous pouvez constamment gagner le jeu rotatif de l'endodontie". Le Glide Path a été présenté comme un chemin secret vers la sécurité radiculaire, ce qui en fait le chemin de l'endodontie moderne, afin de prévenir le risque de...
