Two new chapters on the restoration of the endodontically treated tooth and on the dento-legal aspects of endodontics have been added to bring this text up-to-date with modern clinical practice. Fully illustrated throughout, colour photographs and line drawings help readers to understand complex theories and procedures. Each chapter contains references to essential sources of further reading, while the straightfoward and clear style of the text demystifies the complex subject.1. Introduction ; 2.
