The dental pulp is a complex tissue that, while tiny, can have huge consequences in terms of pain, disease, and overall oral health. This book explores the intricacies of the pulp-dentin complex and its biologic interrelationships with other tissues and disease states. For many years Seltzer and Bender’s has served as the singular authoritative source for all things dealing with the pathology of the dental pulp and periradicular tissues, and this fully updated edition continues that legacy. The authors were keen to include the absolute most current scientific information, focus the content on clinical correlations, and revise the text to be as engaging as possible for targeted use in graduate endodontic education, and they accomplish all of those goals in this landmark text. A must-read for all endodontic residents and students, and a great reference text for practicing endodontists.
