Dr Domenico Ricucci and Dr José Siqueira Jr
present the readers with a monumental atlas and a
textbook on Endodontology that underscores the
biological foundation of endodontic treatment. The
book is divided into 10 chapters. The first chapter
presents a review of the dentin-pulp complex and
periradicular tissues at the microscopic level. The
pulp response to caries and restorative procedures
in terms of physiology and pathology is described
in the second chapter. The third chapter details
the vital pulp therapy, from deep caries treatment
to pulpotomy supported by excellent clinical
photographs. Chapters four and five describe the
endodontic periradicular pathology and clinical
cases with infection correlated with microscopic
images. The next two chapters describe the clinical
treatment procedures of nonvital teeth and the
periradicular expcted tissue response to enhance
the understanding of endodontic treatment.
The eighth chapter is dedicated to exploring the
effect of lateral canals in the endodotic field. The
penultimate chapter examines the complex causes

for endodontic treatment failures. The last chapter
describes the endodontic-periodontal meaningful
interrelationship

documentation.
