This monograph is the result of around 20 years of clinical and scientific work of the Authors. The goals of root canal shaping through the evolution of the principles of biomechanical instrumentation are discussed at the begging of the book, followed by the evolution of nickel-titanium instruments. Then the Authors describe the different stages of canal preparation, the cleaning and debridement of the root canal system. This topic is particularly important since mechanical instrumentation...
