Additional Details
The dental pulp is a complex tissue that, while tiny, can have huge consequences in terms of pain, disease, and overall oral health. This book explores the intricacies of the pulp-dentin complex and its biologic interrelationships with other tissues and disease states. For many years Seltzer and Bender’s has served as the singular authoritative source for all things dealing with the pathology of the dental pulp and periradicular tissues, and this fully updated edition continues that legacy. The authors were keen to include the absolute most current scientific information, focus the content on clinical correlations, and revise the text to be as engaging as possible for targeted use in graduate endodontic education, and they accomplish all of those goals in this landmark text. A must-read for all endodontic residents and students, and a great reference text for practicing endodontists.
It is an excellent resource for students, residents, and clinicians.
Doody's Review
"A particular emphasis of this new edition is the role that the dental pulp plays in both local and systemic disease. A current "hot topic" in the field of endodontics is stem cells and the regeneration of the pulpodentin complex. This text provides the astute clinician with the scientific background required to perform such therapies."
-- Adam J. Grossman, DDS - Alpha Omegan August 2012
"Seltzer and Bender's Dental Pulp, Second Edition is an update of the classic text that provides the reader with an exceptional insight into the biology, interactions and responses of the dental pulp. This latest edition comprehensively reviews a broad range of subject matter and introduces stimulating new chapters, such as regenerative endodontics, to its audience. This text would be highly recommended to postgraduates, dental practitioners, and registrars interested in restorative dentistry who aim to deliver accurate diagnoses and clinical management of patients with pulpal conditions."
-- R.S. Virdi - British Dental Journal August 2012
"Overall, Seltzer and Bender’s Dental Pulp, 2nd Edition, is an outstanding 10-year anniversary edition of a classic textbook. It is an excellent resource for students, residents, and clinicians alike to use to develop and build on clinical protocols for restorative and endodontic procedures that are founded on evidence-based biological principles."
-- Christine Sedgley, MDS, MDSc, FRACDS, MRACDS (ENDO), PhD Journal of Endodontics May 2012
"I personally found this book to be a very useful resource. It addresses the current techniques being used in dentistry and their effects on the dental pulp."
