Advanced Endodontics is meant mainly for postgraduate students. It includes the most recent developments in the field of endodontics.

From diagnosis to periapical surgery, there have been significant changes, both in concept and equipment.

Recently, tissue engineering has been used to revitalize dentin and pulp tissue.

In modern practice, proper diagnosis is the key for the success of endodontic treatment. This starts with a good relevant case history, clinical examination and diagnostic tests, which form an indispensable part of diagnostic system. The new methods of assessing pulp vitality like Laser Doppler flowmetry, Infrared thermographic imaging, pulse oxymetry, liquid crystal testing and Hughes probe eye camera are presently experimental and mainly research oriented and are expected to be clinical tests in the forthcoming days.

Digital radiography and electronic apex locators have also revolutionized clinical endodontics. DNA and RNA based microbiological techniques to detect uncultivable microorganisms, i.e. Polymerase chain reaction and Microarray technology are used to identify and study a large array of genes. A relationship between clinical symptoms and inflammatory molecules has been demonstrated reporting the significance of substance ‘P’. Other  amazing advanced topics are found in the book
