Fear of pain is the number one reason people give for not making regular visits to the dentist, and unfortunately, a majority of dentists report anesthesia-related problems during restorative dental procedures. The administration of local anesthesia is the first procedure dentists perform at an appointment, and it inevitably affects every aspect of treatment that comes afterward. If dentists can improve their ability to administer successful local anesthesia, patient compliance and satisfaction will improve. This third edition of Successful Local Anesthesia is grounded in all the latest research to bring you up to date on the best, evidence-based ways to successfully anesthetize your patients using the newest technology and drugs available. It presents the rationale, advantages, and limitations of various anesthetic agents and routes of administration, with special attention given to pulpal anesthesia and the supplemental anesthetic techniques that are essential to the practice of dentistry. Contents: 1. Clinical Factors Related to Local Anesthesia 2. Mandibular Anesthesia 3. Maxillary Anesthesia 4. Supplemental Anesthesia 5. Clinical Tips for Management of Routine Restorative Procedures 6. Endodontic Anesthesia 7. Clinical Tips for Management of Specific Endodontic Situations Read more

Conventional radiography has well-documented limitations when it comes to endodontic diagnosis and treatment planning, and CBCT overcomes many of these limitations. However, its use is often underemphasized and misunderstood by clinicians familiar with the concepts of conventional radiography. This book provides an essential overview of CBCT, from the physics of radiation to the mechanics of the machine to the interpretation of images, thereby offering clinicians and students a sound foundation for using this modality. It also provides a comprehensive discussion of the many applications of CBCT in clinical endodontics, including assessment of anatomy, diagnosis of apical periodontitis, retreatment, trauma, resorption, and vertical fracture. Throughout, the authors emphasize proper case selection and include many references to provide an evidence-based approach and framework for the use of CBCT in endodontics. Read more

This book is a compilation of practical information shared by some of the finest clinical endodontists in the world. Most of the chapters are short and focus on how to perform a single clinical procedure. They are written in simple language with ample photographic support. This book provides guidance for most common endodontic procedures but also for some procedures that are less common, such as how to treat teeth containing Russian Red; surgical extrusion; root submergence; and decompression. Because most of the procedures described are performed under a dental operating microscope, there are chapters on operatory design for microscopic endodontics, microscope ergonomics for the dentist and assistant, and how to set up and use a microscope for photography and video documentation. In addition, two chapters are devoted exclusively to understanding and applying CBCT imaging. Written at a specialist level, but it contains information that is useful to anyone who aspires to perform endodontics at a high level. Read more

This unique book is a serious study of clinical endodontics that underscores the biologic foundation of endodontic treatment and seeks to bridge the gap between basic endodontic knowledge and advanced endodontic biology. Written by a well-established clinician and a researcher with extensive background in endodontic microbiology, this book combines invaluable histologic illustrations of endodontic disease with a robust clinical text that (1) describes the pathologies affecting dental tissues as well as their reactions to the clinical procedures and (2) uses clinical microbiology to explain the observed phenomena. Treatments of complex endodontic infections are presented for both vital and nonvital pulp therapy, and the influence of periradicular pathology are addressed in detail. Moreover, the authors wade into controversial topics with detailed and comprehensive analysis, including the implications of lateral canals on treatment and the causes of treatment failures and how to avoid them. The purpose of this book is to improve endodontic treatment, and the authors demonstrate how an in-depth knowledge of endodontic infections can help clinicians to synthesize the data from patient examinations in order to visualize what has taken place, understand the processes at work, and predict what will occur with the patient. An essential clinical text for comprehensive endodontic study. Read more

This book serves as a clinical guide to help the practitioner improve endodontic treatment outcomes. It focuses on the various factors affecting the prognosis of endodontic treatments and on their impact on short-term and long-term results.The text incorporates up-to-date knowledge, techniques and treatment protocols. Each chapter has been carefully chosen to address either foundational knowledge or a select aspect of endodontic treatment.
