Features: "Research on Caries and Pulp Diseases" is a book that has gathered the efforts and achievements of all colleagues in the Department of Conservative Dentistry and Endodontics of the School of Stomatology at Wuhan University over the past 20 years. This book focuses on introducing the research results of this discipline in the fields of caries research and pulp disease research. The caries research of the School of Stomatology at Wuhan University started in the mid-1980s and achieved a domestic advanced level in a very short time. Subsequently, it made breakthroughs in caries vaccine research, especially in DNA vaccine research, which has reached an internationally advanced level. The book introduces the characteristics of the cariogenic bacterium Streptococcus mutans and the entire process of developing a DNA caries-preventive vaccine.
Research and treatment in pulp diseases are another rapidly developing field. A group of young academic elites in this discipline returned from overseas studies in recent years, drawing on the strengths of various schools while forging their own path, and in just three years, brought root canal treatment levels into alignment with international standardized treatment. The book provides a detailed introduction to the clinical experience and some new concepts and methods in the research and treatment of pulp diseases, especially with an in-depth description of standardized root canal treatment methods.
