Although conventional endodontics accounts for the majority of typical endontic practice, the rise of the operating microscope (OM) has brought elements to endontic surgery that were previously lacking–magnification, illumination, and visualization–and, along with new biomaterials, an increased range of solutions where the clinician can predictably preserve the tooth. Based in Leòn, Spain, Merino has some 15 years of experience in endodontic microsurgery and has lectured extensively in his country and internationally on the topic. His text provides both the general dentist and the specialist with in-depth, step-by-step information on the latest technology, strategies, biomaterials and instruments for microsurgical endodontic and immediate transplantology. All procedures are well described, with clear graphics and high-quality clinical illustrations. Oversize: 8.5×11.25″.
