title: Endodontic considerations in treatment of older adult.
abstract: As professionals we are called on to preserve or create and sustain functioning dentition, using the best and most appropriate techniques and materials available. Maintaining, or improving, what is already in use, while minimizing trauma to the patient, must be our goal. The older patient challenges our ability and ingenuity, and provides us with satisfaction when we succeed.
