Through 20 chapters, this book aims to provide dental practitioners with all the information required to ensure successful endodontic treatment of children and adolescents.

The authors take a holistic approach that highlights the new developments in the field. The first section updates readers on the biological aspects of pulp therapy, and the second deals with clinical aspects. In the first part, the authors describe the formation, structure, and function of the dental pulp as revealed by the latest single-cell visualisation technologies, followed by a discussion of carious lesions and their impact on the pulp. The second part examines the clinical considerations in the decision to perform pulp treatment. The need to integrate pupal diagnostics with patient-dependent factors such as behaviour management and pulpal pain mechanisms is emphasised. This part of the book includes descriptions of current treatments for each type of caries-inflicted tooth damage, from selective caries removal through direct pulp capping, pulpotomy, pulpectomy and root canal therapy for the primary dentition to direct pulp capping, and endodontic treatment of young permanent teeth.
