Endodontics

Endodontics, a specialty area of dentistry, is concerned with abnormal tooth pulp as well as difficulties affecting the tissues surrounding the pulp and canal and their causes, symptoms, prevention, and treatment. The dentin, the hard tissue that makes up the inside of the tooth, is cut through by the soft tissue known as tooth pulp, which runs from the crown, or top, of the tooth to the tip of the root in the jaw bone. Tooth pulp is composed of nerves, blood vessels, and connective tissues.
