Endodontic Microbiology

Endodontic Microbiology, Second Edition presents a comprehensive reference to the microbiology, pathogenesis, management, and healing of endodontic pathosis, emphasizing the importance of biological sciences in understanding and managing endodontic disease and its interaction with systemic health.

• Provides a major revision to the first book to focus on the problems related to microbes in the root canal and periapical tissues

• Updates current knowledge in endodontic pathosis, especially regarding next generation sequencing and microbial virulence

• Presents useful diagrams, images, radiographs, and annotated histological images to illustrate the concepts

• Emphasizes the importance of biological science in understanding and managing endodontic disease

• Includes contributions from the leading researchers and educators in the field
