Endodontics has developed rapidly over the last few decades – both in terms of understanding the biologic principles and with regard to the materials and instrumental possibilities. It is therefore indeed difficult to recognize and implement the really essential, clinically relevant points of endodontic therapy in the presence of numerous technical innovations.
This book was written by several renowned endodontists who present their strategies for the core problems of endodontic therapy based on decades of experience. The Basic 1 x 1 of Endodontics is dedicated to the supposedly “small” daily problems in endodontic practice. Concepts for technically and biologically sensible and successful endodontic treatment are presented in 24 chapters. The focus is on practical aspects and procedures, which are illustrated by 792 photographs and illustrations as well as 99 videos linked by QR codes.
The book primarily offers clinical assistance to those who are not (yet) well versed in endodontics. For students in the clinical sphere, it is intended as practical visual support for the challenges of patient treatment; for dentists who want to delve deeper into endodontics, it is a useful aid in their daily work, providing them with new ideas and the confidence to develop their own clinically efficient treatment system.
