Study Areas in which Endodontology is Involved

Abstract

Dentistry has been developed with the benefit of general science, especially medical science and biology, and changed the basic concepts of dental treatment. Endodontology can contribute to comprehensive clinical and basic research areas in which other studies including periodontology, oral surgery, operative dentistry, pedodontics and prosthodontics are also related. However, from the standpoint of evidence-based dentistry, development of Endodontology is not so fruit except root canal preparation and obturation technology. Then we will introduce multidisciplinary study areas and discuss the future direction in which Endodontology will be involved.
