Journal Articles
The Editorial Board of the Journal of Endodontics developed a literature-based study guide of topical areas related to endodontics. This study guide is intended to give the reader a focused review of the essential endodontic literature and does not cite all possible articles related to each topic.
The Success and Failure in Endodontics section will review success and failure related to nonsurgical endodontic therapy, nonsurgical endodontic retreatment, and periradicular surgical treatment.
