Endodontic Microbiology, 2nd Edition

__Endodontic Microbiology, Second Edition__ presents a comprehensive reference to the microbiology, pathogenesis, management, and healing of endodontic pathosis, emphasizing the importance of biological sciences in understanding and managing endodontic disease and its interaction with systemic health. * Provides a major revision to the first book to focus on the problems related to microbes in the root canal and periapical tissues * Updates current knowledge in endodontic pathosis, especially regarding next generation sequencing and microbial virulence * Presents useful diagrams, images, radiographs, and annotated histological images to illustrate the concepts * Emphasizes the importance of biological science in understanding and managing endodontic disease * Includes contributions from the leading researchers and educators in the field Content: Contributors ix Preface xi Preface to the First Edition xiii 1 Microbial Perspectives in the Twenty-First Century 1William Wade 2 Diagnosis, Epidemiology, and Global Impact of Endodontic Infections 11Dag Orstavik 3 Microbiology of Dental Caries and Dentinal Tubule Infection 25Robert M.
