Dentistry and Dental Medicine

Endodontics

Endodontics is a specialized branch of dentistry focusing on the study and practice of the underlying science, anatomy, physiology, and pathology of the human tooth, dental pulp, and surrounding tissues. The dental pulp comprises nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissues. Endodontics delves into the biology of normal pulp, crown, root, and peri-radicular tissues, along with the causes, prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of conditions and injuries affecting these structures. Root canal therapy is one of the most common procedures performed by endodontists to address issues involving the pulp and nerves within a tooth's root canal.
