Inside the book
Evidence behind every injection
Each technique is assessed against the literature, so readers know how likely it is to produce pulpal numbness and why it sometimes fails.
From restorative visits to endodontic emergencies
The authors separate the demands of everyday restorative work from specific endodontic scenarios, and describe how drugs and delivery devices have changed over thirty years.
Clinical tips for staying on schedule
Practical advice boxes tackle common problems that stall appointments, while later chapters discuss pain after treatment and related procedures.
