Endodontic Case Assessment
Advances in understanding endodontic pathosis, aseptic technique, and canal preparation and obturation have led to significantly increased and predictable healing rates for endodontic treatment — 95% and higher under ideal conditions. (Salehrabi R, Rotstein I. J Endod. 2004 Dec;30(12):846-50) That said, treatment still needs to be delivered in a predictable manner by the treating practitioner to optimize the healing potential.
The AAE has developed practical tools to help every dentist work through common case assessment pitfalls.
