Review of clinical studies in endodontics

Abstract

Abstract : We reviewed the clinical articles about the endodontics treatment in order to recognize the importance of the endodontics treatment in holistic dental therapy. We refereed two journals, the Japanese Journal of Conservative Dentistry (Japan J. Conserv. Dent.) and Journal of Japan Endodontic Association (JJEA). The ratio of clinical papers in JJEA has been increasing every year and in Japan J. Conserv. Dent. was stable level. The numbers of clinical articles in JJEA are increasing but in Japan J. Conserv. Dent. are decreasing every year. It is very important for each dentist to establish “MY ENDODONTICS” based on proper method. We have to check the articles related to clinical studies in endodontics and have a new understanding of endodontic treatment based on EBM.
