Current endodontic instruments, materials, and drugs, and new techniques for their application. 1992

Technical improvements in endodontic instruments, materials, and drugs and the development of new techniques for their application present a problem for dental practitioners in the selection of materials and methods appropriate to their needs. Claims of "superior" products and "state-of-the-art" treatments only add to the confusion. A review of the dental literature reveals that there is seldom a consensus of opinion on any given subject. Preferences among individuals may reflect a desire for a less complicated, more rapid approach to endodontic treatment. Trends in thought among researchers may offer some direction in the choice between changing concepts and traditional methodology.
