Clinical Updates in Endodontics

Dear Colleagues,

Endodontics is a multifaceted specialty, with much emphasis on how cases are clinically treated. The scope of this Special Issue titled “Clinical Updates in Endodontics” ranges from the aetiology of pulpal and periapical diseases to their treatment, including root canal preparation, root canal irrigation, root canal obturation, studies of novel materials, and the use of new techniques. Bacterial infection is the most common cause of pulpal and periradicular disease, and here we focus on the biological properties of dental pulp cells and periapical tissue cells stimulated by pathogenic bacteria. Practices have incorporated more refined canal cleaning and shaping techniques using ultrasonics and nickel titanium files. Many other advancements have also been introduced with the objective of achieving an optimal result during endodontic treatment.

This Special Issue aims to collect contributions from endodontic specialists who actively use the most innovative options for pulpal and periapical diseases in their own experimental and clinical work.
