Endodontic Topics

Markus Haapasalo

Endodontic Topics comprises a series of monographs intended for endodontists and general practitioners with interest in endodontics. The editorial board will identify significant topics and outstanding scientists and clinicians for the individual monographs. Endodontic Topics serves as a valuable supplement to existing endodontic journals. Two monographs are published each year. The first cycle of monographs will last 5 years and then a new cycle will commence. Some monographs in the new cycle may update previously considered topics and others will raise new issues in endodontology.

Volume 16: 'Complications and Procedural Mishaps During Root Canal Treatment: Part II' now available online

The volume is edited by Ove A. Peters. The following passage is from his introduction to part one of this special two part series:

'It has been pointed out many times that endodontic therapy is directed towards elimination and prevention of apical periodontitis; it appears that antimicrobial efficacy is directly related to endodontic outcomes. Hence a lot of effort is currently spent in research and development to increase antimicrobial efficacy. New disinfection solutions and adjuncts such as sonic and ultrasonic irrigation tips and even new irrigation concepts such as negative pressure irrigation have been introduced. All of this is directed towards reducing the number of unfavorable outcomes, that is post-treatment disease.

This strategy is justified by evidence confirming the microbiological basis for periapical periodontitis; in this sense, these new technologies all address the biological basis for problems with endodontic therapy. However, this is true following optimal treatment progress; unfortunately, there is a multitude of daily occurring technical issues that are less than optimal and are worthwhile reviewing. This issue of Endodontic Topics is dedicated to the most frequent and relevant of these clinical problems.'
