Endodontic Microbiology, Second Edition presents a comprehensive reference to the microbiology, pathogenesis, management, and healing of endodontic pathosis, emphasizing the importance of biological sciences in understanding and managing endodontic disease and its interaction with systemic health.
* Provides a major revision to the first book to focus on the problems related to microbes in the root canal and periapical tissues
* Updates current knowledge in endodontic pathosis, especially regarding next generation sequencing and microbial virulence
* Presents useful diagrams, images, radiographs, and annotated histological images to illustrate the concepts
* Emphasizes the importance of biological science in understanding and managing endodontic disease
* Includes contributions from the leading researchers and educators in the field
