Managing pain can be one of the most challenging aspects of the clinical practice of endodontics, and one by which the skill of the clinician is often judged. Achieving successful pain control in a predictable, efficient manner requires a working knowledge of the underlying biology of the body pain system and mechanism by which drugs and therapies provide relief. Management of pain for endodontic therapy encompasses three aspects: Pre-operative, intra operative and post-operative pain management. First and the most important in managing any kind of pain is the correct diagnosis, as correct...

A successful root canal therapy depends upon complete obliteration of root canal space by a dimensionally stable and biologically compatible material. The various techniques used for obturation include warm condensation, vertical condensation (System B), core techniques (Thermafil, Soft Core, Quick-Fill), thermoplasticized gutta-percha (Obtura), warm vertical compaction, and cold lateral condensation. This book aims to describe and compare the techniques and systems available for obturation of pulp space. It also gives a detail of advantages and disadvantages of these techniques. Choosing the...

The process of tissue repair is essential to re-establish function and tissue integrity. The ideal goal of endodontic treatment is to achieve periapical healing. Whenever there is an infection or injury, host evoke a protective response by immunoinflammatory process to maintain the original structure and biological function of the tissue. Periapical diseases are mostly due to disintegrated products of pulp tissue or due to toxins produced by the bacteria in root canal system. More than 90% of periapical lesion are dental granuloma, radicular cysts or abscesses. As non- surgical endodontic...

Dental caries is an infectious microbiologic disease of the teeth that results in dissolution of the organic and destruction of the calcified tissue of the tooth. Dental caries is one of the most common diseases in humans. In modern times, it has reached epidemic proportions. The prevalence of dental caries in developed countries varies highly and can reach over 90%. The rate of Caries has been increasing in developing countries with the increase in the consumption of refined sugars. This book highlights induction of dental caries which involves multiple S. Mutans proteins, and will serve as...

Dental technology improvements have reshaped concept of photography to powerful medium of expression & communication. Digital photography is one of the most common clinical applications of computerization in dentistry nowadays. It aids in the discovery of hidden and undetected flaws in teeth and other areas of the cavity or smile. The dental world is made up of microstructures that must be meticulously documented in order to execute patient education, record documentation, and treatment. This review focuses on the important applications of digital photography in dentistry and the potential...
