title: Latest concepts in root canal treatment.
abstract: This paper highlights one aspect of a presentation to be given at the BDA Conference and is written in the context of dentistry in primary care. Careful oral health assessment as a foundation to good treatment planning and quality dentistry is not new, but there are a number of important new perspectives emerging across countries and healthcare systems in terms of the content and role of such an assessment in modern dental practice.
