Textbook of Endodontics, 5/E for BDS, MDS Students and Practicing Dentists | Root Canal Guide with Rotary Instruments, Bioceramics, Vital Pulp Therapy | Chapter-wise University Exam Questions: 1

Textbook of Endodontics, 5/E is a complete, DCI-syllabus-aligned guide to root canal science and practice, built for the full arc of dental education from BDS coursework through postgraduate study and everyday clinical practice. Across 39 chapters it moves from pulp biology and pathology through microbiology and biofilm science, diagnostic procedures, instrumentation, access cavity preparation, irrigation and intracanal medicaments, working length determination, cleaning and shaping, obturation, surgical endodontics, and endodontic-periodontal lesions, closing with restoration of endodontically treated teeth and management of procedural accidents and retreatment. This edition updates the text with rotary NiTi instrumentation, ultrasonic and laser-assisted canal preparation, bioceramic materials, and vital pulp therapy, while retaining the classical classification systems (Grossman's, Ingle's, Baume's, Seltzer and Bender's) every dental student is examined on. Clinical photographs, radiographic images, line diagrams, flowcharts, text boxes, and comparative tables run throughout, keeping dense clinical text easy to study and recall. Each chapter closes with examiner's-choice questions drawn from various university papers, turning the text into a ready last-minute revision tool ahead of internal and university exams, alongside its role as a standing clinical reference. Who This Book Is For: BDS Students: working through Conservative Dentistry and Endodontics coursework, with content mapped to the Dental Council of India syllabus. MDS Students: preparing for postgraduate exams, with classification systems and advanced techniques covered in depth for higher-level study. Practicing Dentists: needing a chairside refresher on current instrumentation, materials, and procedural protocols. Why This Book Helps: Complete curriculum coverage: spans the full endodontic syllabus in one text, from pulp pathology and microbiology through to surgical endodontics and retreatment, removing the need to consult multiple references. Exam-ready structure: chapter-end examiner's-choice questions compiled from multiple university papers make last-minute revision straightforward and targeted. Current clinical practice: updated coverage of rotary NiTi instrumentation, bioceramic sealers, and vital pulp therapy keeps procedural knowledge aligned with what is actually used in practice today. Easier recall of complex material: clinical photographs, radiographs, line diagrams, and comparative tables simplify classification schemes and multi-step procedures that are otherwise hard to retain from text alone. Syllabus alignment: mapped to the Dental Council of India syllabus and international curricula, so coursework and exam preparation stay in step with what is taught.
