Research on Endodontic Treatment Methods and Materials

Dear Colleagues,

The first two decades of the 21st century have seen spectacular developments in the dental sciences and related technologies, which have also transformed the way we think of endodontics. What was once not much more than root canal treatment is now an entire complex subdiscipline of dentistry equipped with an armamentarium of the latest technologies, including surgical microscopes, high-resolution digital imaging and computer-assisted guided surgery tailored to the individual patient’s needs. This development offers the practitioner an ever-growing set of tools to save patients’ teeth with ever-growing success rates.

This Special Issue aims to provide an overview of the latest research in endodontics and endodontic surgery, from bench science to chairside and clinical studies. The Special Issue features studies that can further our understanding of the latest issues and developments in the field and help the readers familiarize themselves with the state of the art in endodontics.

Topics of potential interest include (the list is not exhaustive):

• Static and dynamic navigation in endodontic surgery;
• The role and accuracy of digital (CBCT) imaging in endodontics;
• The advantages and limitations of new technologies;
• Success and survival in endodontics;
• Materials and material-related issues; 
• Preclinical research regarding emerging endodontic techniques.
