Review
The distinguished contributors to this book have directed their efforts towards providing authoriative reviews which are at the forefront of research in endodontology ... The extensive and excellent use of headings and sub-headings makes this textbook very easy to read. The generous use of figures and tables also makes for easy reading and assists in the understanding of the topic under consideration. Australian Endodontic Journal [The book provides] a vast amount of valuable information ... for undergraduate students, private clinicians, faculty members, postgraduate endodontic students and clinicians involved in endodontic research. Last but not least, this book is also recommended to clinicians in other branches of dentistry who wish to improve and update their knowledged of endodontics. Swiss Monthly Review of Dentistry
