Essential Endodontology: Prevention and Treatment of Apical Periodontitis

Product Description:


This second edition of Essential Endodontology capitalizes on the book's position as the major scientific treatise in the field. It addresses the scientific basis of endodontology rather than majoring on didactic methods of treatment. The second edition adopts a strengthened approach to the systematic analysis of the available clinical and laboratory evidence. Apical periodontitis is promoted as a disease entity, with the etiology, prevention and treatment being discussed. Author Information Dag Orstavik is Professor of Endodontology at The University of Oslo, Norway. He is associate editor of the journal Endodontic Topics. Tom Pitt Ford is Professor of Endodontology and Dean for Teaching at the GKT Dental Institute in London, UK. He is a former editor of the International Endodontic Journal. Together they have gathered a stellar collection of contributors from across the endodontic world. Table of Contents Chapter 1.

It is recommended by Amazon. My first search is "Color Atlas and Text of Endodontics. After reading a few pages, it makes me love of it. I will keep on reading until the last page of the book. It is very happy to have this book.
