Von der hinteren Coverseite

Combining the theory and practice of endodontology, this book uses a problem-based approach to allow readers to apply their existing knowledge to a range of clinical scenarios, as well as to gain new knowledge and confidence in the field. Aimed at dental students, those working towards specialisation in dentistry and clinicians, the book encourages readers to transfer knowledge and diagnostic skills from one problem to another and improve their self-directed learning and reflective skills.

Pitt Ford’s Problem-based Learning in Endodontology includes a wealth of cases that span topics such as the maintenance of a vital pulp, root canal treatment, surgical endodontics and trauma. Each case is accompanied by full colour photographs and radiographs that illustrate the key stages in diagnosis, treatment planning, treatment and prognosis. In addition, the detailed commentary provides information on viable alternative treatment strategies, rationale for the treatment described, evaluation of the current evidence for and against the course of treatment and finally the prognosis.

KEY FEATURES

• Clinically relevant to every day practice and thoroughly grounded in scientific evidence

• Uses a problem-based approach to help readers solve problems for themselves
• Contains clinical cases spanning a wide range of topics
• Richly illustrated in full colour throughout with high quality photos and radiographs
