ENDODONTICS

Root canal treatments save teeth. More root canal treatments are performed each year. (Bjørndal & Reit, International Endodontic Journal 37: 782-8 (2004))

Our aim is to initiate the age of smart materials in endodontics. These materials are tailored for the specific microenvironment of the pulp space.
