Customer Reviews

No fluff, packed with great info, well organized

This book is the opposite of many books we were required to read in dental school. Its all meat, its clear, its practical. If you're a GP doing endo and haven't yet completely mastered it, get this book. Its well worth the money.

Very practical guide.

The book is well written and organized. Could have had better illustrations but it's still very good. It's a very practical, helpful guide to deal with various endodontic challenges during everyday patient care. It's useful for both endodontists/residents, and general dentists performing endo tx. routinely in their practice. Dental students may not benefit unless interested in pursuing a carrier in endodontics. Various challenges are addressed with tips and tricks for their management. It's a buy for anyone who performs endodontic treatment.

problem solving in endodontics

this book is excellent. It very nicely describes very common daily clinical problems that are encountered in endodontics. not only are the solutions given in excellent details and illustrations through radiographs, there are nut shell summaries that are included for quick references. Overall the book is interesting to read and comprehensive in covering all areas of endodontics. the diagnostic challenges are written with brilliance. I do a lot of endodontics and having this book was worth every cent I payed.

Simple but well categorized

This book reminded me of the fact that great book is thin but deep in phrases. Thick book has its value and this one too. Simple but well categorized book takes us to better sight of art and science of treatment in oral and maxillofacial region including tooth pain therapy.

A "must have " for every dentists

I have read the 3rd version of this book when i graduated from dental school.Basically ,this is a very good book for those who are already doing root canal treatment.You can find lots of solutions here.The 4th edition is even better,they got more pictures and more clinic hints. If you are a dental school student,i will suggest you start reading textbook like "endodontics: or "pathway to the pulp".If you are a very busy clinician ,this book is what you need.
