Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Endodontics has undergone significant transformation in recent decades, driven by improvements in the predictability of procedures, reduction in complications, and enhancement in overall treatment outcomes. Despite this progress, many challenges remain in translational science to further strengthen evidence-based practice.
This Special Issue aims to bring together recent scientific and clinical advances in the field of endodontics. Technological innovations, evolving protocols, advancements in education, and the development of improved materials continue to shape the landscape of modern endodontic practice.
Contributions are welcome from clinical and laboratory-based research, including in vitro and ex vivo studies, randomized controlled trials, observational studies, systematic reviews, and meta-analyses. Case series with strong methodological and clinical relevance may also be considered.
By presenting diverse perspectives and methodologies, this Special Issue seeks to foster interdisciplinary dialogue between clinicians, researchers, educators, and biomedical scientists, contributing to the advancement of evidence-based and patient-centered endodontic care.
