Phase format treatment for endodontic therapy.
This paper has shown that modern endodontics has progressed significantly in describing and treating pulpal and periradicular pathology. Current knowledge indicates that endodontic therapy should be evaluated as a complete unit and that each phase of treatment is completed to provide a foundation for rehabilitation. The phase format assessment of endodontic therapy success provides an outline for clinicians to objectively provide treatment in effort to conserve natural dentition.
