SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
Nearly three decades ago, Samuel Seltzer and I.B. Bender pioneered the concept of developing biologically based recommendations for the clinical practice of endodontics and restorative dentistry. This concept was the cornerstone of their classic textbook, "The Dental Pulp". "Seltzer and Bender's Dental Pulp" represents the evolution of that book and of the philosophical principles on which it was based. Today we know that pulp tissue plays a central role in both local and systemic health. This book presents the latest research on the dental pulp and its interaction with other tissues. Each chapter provides an introduction to its major themes for the busy clinician or dental student, as well as a set of biologically based clinical recommendations for restorative and endodontic procedures. Practicing clinicians need this information to provide accurate diagnoses and effective treatment to their patients.
