Management of Endodontic Complications

Few disciplines depend on the control of error as much as endodontics, and that is precisely the ground this work occupies. Torabinejad and Sabeti go through the moments at which treatment goes wrong, from diagnosis and planning, access, cleaning and shaping, obturation and restoration of the treated tooth to non-surgical retreatment and follow-up, and propose prevention strategies and routes to resolution for each. A dedicated section deals with teeth with necrotic pulp, open apex and apical periodontitis. Written in English, it addresses the endodontist and the general dentist who would rather anticipate complications than improvise in the face of them.
