Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Root canal treatment, which involves shaping, cleaning, and obturation, is the treatment of choice in cases of inflammatory lesions in the pulp and periapical tissues. Due to the increased prevalence of endodontic disease, the global percentage of people who have undergone at least one endodontic therapy is estimated to be up to 55.7%. The complexity of root canal anatomy, the relative stiffness of endodontic instruments, and the inadequacy of current methods to visualize the root canal space properly make intracanal work exceptionally demanding. Furthermore, the diversity in root canal anatomies poses a challenge for the clinician during access cavity preparation and chemomechanical preparation of the root canal space. The occurrence of procedural accidents, such as ledge formation, canal transportation, and root perforation, is a common mishap. Recent years have seen tremendous scientific and technological development, facilitating root canal treatment and enhancing the potential to increase its overall standard.
In this Special Issue entitled “Present Status and Future Directions in Endodontics”, researchers in the field of endodontology and traumatology are invited to present their research by publishing research articles, review articles, or brief communications.
Dr. Georgios Mikrogeorgis
