Description

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.

Quotes, Reviews or Testimonials

"I personally found this book to be a very useful resource. It addresses the current techniques being used in dentistry and their effects on the dental pulp. It is comprehensive in nature and does not exclude any area of dentistry. The pulp tissue can be a problematic area for so many patients; this detailed book helps the practitioner look beyond the common problems and perhaps offer other viable differentials and solutions."

--Reena Shah, DDS (University of Chicago Hospitals) Doody's Review

The authors are from different specialties and are credible authorities in the subject matter. This book offers a nice balance between the nature and history of the dental pulp and its clinical relevance. Therefore, it is appropriate for the dental student as well as the practicing dentist.
