The Guide to Good Endodontic Practice—first issued in September 2022 by the British Endodontic Society under the editorship of Dr. Philip Tomson—establishes a comprehensive, evidence-based framework for clinicians at every level of experience
With a meticulously structured layout accessible via embedded hyperlinks, this guide seamlessly spans the entire endodontic journey: from initial patient assessment and emergency management to definitive treatment, restoration, and follow‑up care.
Clinicians will find a wealth of high‑quality radiographs, clinical photography, and annotated illustrations that elucidate key procedures—such as handling sodium hypochlorite accidents, vital pulp therapy, and the utilization of the BES EndoApp for accurate case difficulty assessment.
These tools not only reinforce best practices but also support informed decision‑making and appropriate referrals
Furthermore, the guide emphasizes standardized record‑keeping and audit-ready documentation.
It encourages transparent communication with patients, ensuring that treatment objectives, procedural steps, risks, and expected outcomes are fully conveyed to promote informed consent and trust.
This clarity enhances both clinical outcomes and patient experience.
🌐 Dentists worldwide are invited to elevate their standard of care by downloading the Guide to Good Endodontic Practice in PDF format.
