Advances in Surgical Endodontics (2015) Arnaldo Castellucci

Description

This volume defines Surgical Endodontics as the branch of dentistry concerned with diagnosing and treating endodontic lesions that do not respond to conventional therapy. It details the procedure’s scope, which is to achieve the three-dimensional cleaning, shaping, and obturation of the apical portion of the root canal system via surgical access, emphasizing that surgery is only indicated after non-surgical retreatment attempts have failed or when orthograde treatment is impossible.
