Study Notes

Endodontics is the branch of dentistry dealing with the pulp and periradicular tissues of the tooth.
Aims to maintain functional and symptom-free teeth with no diagnosable pathologies.
Endodontic therapy's goal is to create a favorable environment for healing and periradicular tissue health.
Pulp Chamber: Coronal part of pulp cavity, shaped by tooth crown and patient's age, has a dentin roof and merges into root canal.
Pulp Horns: Landmarks present occlusally in the pulp chamber.
Canal Orifice: Opening in the floor of pulp chamber leading to root canals.
Root Canal: Extends from canal orifice to apical foramen.
Apical Root Anatomy: Complex and variable, with multiple canals, branches, and anastomoses.
