Complications In Endodontic Surgery

This book presents up-to-date recommendations for the prevention, diagnosis, and management of complications in endodontic surgical procedures, based on the best available scientific evidence. Common risks such as wound healing impairment, infection and bleeding are discussed and specific complications related to endodontic surgery, such as maxillary sinus involvement and damage to adjacent neurovascular structures, are reviewed. For each step of endodontic surgical procedures, surgical goals and possible outcomes are reviewed. Preoperative, intraoperative and postoperative risk factors for complications are identified and treatment options presented. Helpful decision-making algorithms, tables and flow charts complement the reader-friendly text.

This book describes the most commonly encountered endodontic complications and provides up-to-date information on their prevention and management. The opening chapters explain the importance of accurate diagnosis and treatment planning, outline the role of digital radiography and CBCT in managing complications, and highlight the need for close attention to anatomic landmarks in order to avoid damage to neurovascular anatomy. Endodontic problems associated with different procedural errors are then discussed in detail, covering a wide variety of access- and instrumentation-related complications and the difficulties that may arise when using obturation techniques. Readers will also find information on the endodontic–periodontal relationship, special issues in geriatric patients, and the potential medical emergencies and precautions in specific patient subsets. The clear, easy-to-read text is complemented by numerous high-quality photographs and tables that assist understanding and ready identification of management solutions. This book will be of value for all dental practitioners with an interest in endodontics, endodontic specialists, and higher-level students.

Seeks to simplify the subject, to spell out the art of the possible, and, perhaps of more importance, to enable the practitioner to maximize long-term success from the patient's point of view. It recognizes the problems and failures and recommends techniques to minimize them. The scope is such that it will appeal to students, general practitioners, and endodontists alike. [editor].

As a supplement to the book with the same title, these two videos present fourteen case studies of endodontic surgeries. The surgical procedures and techniques explained in detail in the book are shown here step-by-step and performed on each tooth type. The videos begin with simple maxillary procedures and move to more complex surgeries. The cases are surgical retreatments of conditions unsuccessfully treated with conventional endodontic therapy. Shown are techniques in performing incision and drainage, root amputation, hemisection, extraction and replantation, retrograde root canal therapy, and repair of root perforations surgically and nonsurgically. Guided tissue regeneration procedures are performed on the maxillary and mandibular molars. These videos were produced in conjunction with Loma Linda University School of Dentistry Continuing Education Department.
