The surgical procedures and techniques explained in detail in the book are shown here step-by-step and performed on each tooth type. The videos begin with simple maxillary procedures and move to more complex surgeries. The cases are surgical retreatments of conditions unsuccessfully treated with conventional endodontic therapy. Shown are techniques in performing incision and drainage, root amputation, hemisection, extraction and replantation, retrograde root canal therapy, and repair of root perforations surgically and nonsurgically. Guided tissue regeneration procedures are performed on the maxillary and mandibular molars. These videos were produced in conjunction with Loma Linda University School of Dentistry Continuing Education Department.
