The Root Canal Anatomy in Permanent Dentition. Cet article n’est pas disponible.The Root Canal Anatomy in Permanent Dentition

This book describes the most commonly methods used for the study of the internal anatomy of teeth and provides a complete review of the literature concerning the current state of research employing contemporary imaging tools such as micro-CT and CBCT, which offer greater accuracy whether using qualitative or quantitative approaches. In order to facilitate the management of complex anatomic anomalies, specific clinical protocols and valuable practical tips are suggested. In addition, supplementary material consisting in high-quality videos and images of different anatomies obtained using micro-CT technology is made available to the reader. The book was planned and developed in collaboration with an international team comprising world-recognized researchers and experienced clinicians with expertise in the field. It will provide the readers with a thorough understanding of canal morphology and its variations in all groups of teeth, which is a basic prerequisite for the success of endodontic therapy.

Since 1994, he has been working part-time in the Dental Department of the Brazilian Military Police being recently promoted to the grade of Lieutenant Colonel. He is a certified specialist in Endodontics (1999), but also in Didactics (1998) and Bioethics (2003). In 2006 and 2012, respectively, Dr. Versiani concluded his Master's Degree and PhD studies at the University of Sao Paulo, where he is currently a Postdoctoral Research Fellow.
