Endodontisk behandling har en betydande potential i att rädda tänder från att extraheras. Genom att välja lämpliga metoder och vara noggrann vid instrumentering och rotfyllning kan tanden behållas över lång tid och vara symtomfri – utan kvarstående infektion eller inflammation.

Den här boken förklarar hur klinisk endodonti av hög kvalitet kan bedrivas på ett effektivt och ändamålsenligt sätt. Innehållet bygger på vetenskap och beprövad erfarenhet och ger insikter som kan komma till nytta i arbetet kring patienten.

Förutom grundläggande kunskaper i ämnesområdet går författarna igenom pulpabiologi, endodontisk mikrobiologi, diagnostiska strategier och behandlingsstrategier. Varje kapitel avslutas med en fördjupning där en viss aspekt av klinisk endodonti diskuteras. Boken vänder sig till studerande på tandvårdsutbildningarna samt till redan yrkesverksamma tandsköterskor, tandhygienister och allmäntandläkare.

This book is a comprehensive guide to apical periodontitis in root-filled teeth that covers not only all aspects of diagnosis and management but also epidemiology, etiology, consequences, clinical decision-making, and prognosis. There is a particular focus on the available surgical and nonsurgical methods of retreatment designed to restore healthy periapical conditions.  Alternatives to retreatment are also explored, including a conservative approach involving monitoring of the diseased tooth without intervention and the option of extraction and replacement with an implant or a fixed prosthesis.The goal of root canal treatment is to save the natural tooth even when tissue breakdown has resulted in pathological conditions of the pulp and periradicular tissue. However, population studies reveal that complete healing is often absent in root-filled teeth, and apical periodontitis is frequently observed in conjunction with root fillings of poor technical quality. Under these circumstances, questions arise as to how the apical periodontitis is impacting on the patient and how the condition should be tackled. Readers will find this well-illustrated book to be of great value in directing clinical practice.
