Biologically Based Endodontics Course - Dentistry eBooks

Course Overview

Presented by Domenico Ricucci, this course grounds endodontic treatment planning in the underlying biology of the tooth rather than presenting procedures as isolated technical steps. It starts from the histological structure of the tooth and the tissue response to caries, addressing genuinely debated questions such as how deep caries excavation should go and whether vital pulp therapy can reliably maintain pulp vitality in cases with exposed pulp.

From there, the course moves into practical treatment protocols, including the apical limit of root canal instrumentation and obturation, and the ongoing clinical question of lateral canals in endodontics. It also addresses regenerative endodontic procedures and how much of the dentin-pulp complex these techniques genuinely regenerate — a critical distinction for setting realistic expectations with patients. Managing accidental perforations and other complex clinical scenarios is covered as well.

Across 5 lectures and nearly 10 hours of content, the course is built to connect biological understanding directly to clinical decision-making in root canal treatment.
