Читать книгу Endodontic Materials in Clinical Practice - Группа авторов - Страница 17

It is possible to go on and dissect many more aspects of endodontic materials and treatments from a materials science perspective, most especially for the chemistry that is abused, ignored, or imagined. Were one not inured to a working life exposed to such, despair would follow rather promptly. Given that the role of all dentists, and thus of nonclinical teachers as well, is ultimately to ensure patient well‐being, the plea now is for the underlying science (and its practitioners, therefore) to be respected, given credit, and adopted as the means of supporting that motivation.

Critical reading and informed thinking can reveal much about the dogma, unwarranted assumptions, and wishful thinking (despite perhaps the best of intentions) that pervade endodontics at least as much as anywhere else in dentistry. Challenge it all – nullius in verba – and in so doing, with an open mind and sound advice, take the subject forward: true evidence‐based dentistry awaits your contribution.
