Formerly entitled Root Canal Therapy, this is the fifth edition of a book first published in 1940. The chapters have been rearranged somewhat from the previous edition. Most chapters have changes in material content which reflect recent additions to our knowledge of various aspects of endodontic practice (for example, effects of high-speed instrumentation on the pulp, changes in instruments, special handling of root canal filling materials and new filling materials, evaluation of successes and failures, new antibiotics, etc.). Approximately eighty new references are cited, principally in the chapters on “Diseases of the Dental Pulp, ” (I Sterilization of the Root Canal-Antibiotics, ” and (‘Filling of the Root Canal,” while a few references have been dropped. The illustrations, with a few additions and deletions, are essentially the same as in the fourth edition. This book is almost a classic and is recommended for student and practitioner alike.
