Description

This comprehensive update of a classic text presents the latest research on the dental pulp and its interaction with other tissues, highlighting its central role in both local and systemic health. The second edition has been completely revised to incorporate new chapters featuring the most topical issues in research and clinical practice, including developments in stem cell research and pulpodentin regeneration, the effects of the aging process on the pulp, and the interdependent relationship of the pulp and restorative dental procedures. New contributors bring fresh perspective to topics such as pulpal infections, odontalgia, and the relationship between the pulp and periodontal disease. Each chapter provides an introduction to its major themes for the busy clinician or dental student as well as up-to-date, biologically based clinical recommendations for restorative and endodontic procedures. Practicing clinicians will find this information to be essential to providing accurate diagnoses and effective treatment.

Quotes, Reviews or Testimonials

"A particular emphasis of this new edition is the role that the dental pulp plays in both local and systemic disease. A current "hot topic" in the field of endodontics is stem cells and the regeneration of the pulpodentin complex. This text provides the astute clinician with the scientific background required to perform such therapies."

-- Adam J. Grossman, DDS - Alpha Omegan August 2012

This latest edition comprehensively reviews a broad range of subject matter and introduces stimulating new chapters, such as regenerative endodontics, to its audience. This text would be highly recommended to postgraduates, dental practitioners, and registrars interested in restorative dentistry who aim to deliver accurate diagnoses and clinical management of patients with pulpal conditions."

-- R.S. Virdi - British Dental Journal August 2012
