Endodontics. Diagnostic, treatment planning, and prognostic considerations

S Montgomery et al. Dent Clin North Am. 1986 Jul.

Abstract

An efficient systematic approach to proper diagnosis of pulpal and periradicular disease is presented. Then treatment planning considerations that determine if a tooth can be endodontically treated, if it has strategic value to be treated, and if the patient really wants the treatment are discussed. The long-term success rate of endodontic treatment is also discussed along with the predictability of emergency treatment for the patient being treated for urgent care.
