Summary: Great Pictures of access openings
Review: I still use this book when I do endo. The pictures of access openings for EVERY TOOTH are a great help. There is a page or 2 devoted to each tooth, with many possible canal variations, and average canal lengths. Good for a beginner, and for someone who still hasn't done enough endos to memorize the average lenght of every canal.

Summary: Boring!!
Review: I've never fall asleep reading a book. I fell asleep ready this book twise. BORING!!
It sure is wordy and waistful. I am an average "A-" student and usually don't critize any book but this one I felt that I waisted my money. Content is disorganized. WORDY. This book makes me hate dentistry because of so much garbage is in it, not enough content...
Don't buy this one, you'll regred.

Summary: It's got too much word than information itself
Review: It had some OK pictures and the context is not well organized.
Paragraphs are too long and doesn't attract readers attentaion because of too much word then the content itself. I met Dr. Cohen in San Francisco and found him to be a good Sales man then a good Doctor or an Author. I've attended his lectures and find him too wordy and not enough meat in his lectures either. Not sure why so many Professor still recommend him.
Personally I think this book should be utilized as recycling item because I didn't get any useful information out of it. Please try to read other dental authors book, for sure this one is NOT the one you really want to read. It's waist of money and your time.

Summary: This is the standard and essential endodontic textbook!
Review: This book is a classic in endodontics. A must for every dental student- you probably dont need any other books! Very thorough. A bit too much on infection control and diagnosis, and a bit too little on more modern technological "gizmos" is common use. Color photos would be good, but the contributors consist of the most notable endodontists.

Rating:
Summary: All comprehensive and detail endodontic theory and practice
Review: This book is the most in depth, scholarly written book on endo on the market next to the Dental Pulp (by Seltzer). There's ample literature references in each chapter and it's a great preparation tool for specialty boards. While the book is too science based/not enough show-and-tell for most predoctoral students and general dentists (Endodontic Therapy, by Walton is a better choice there), Pathways is best for post doctoral students and practicing endodontists.

Summary: Boring!!
Review: This book snow-balls the reader with tons of trivial details that have little to do with clinical endodontic practice. It provides a confusing picture of how to function clinically. Out of touch with reality. I don't know why it is so standard in dental schools.

Summary: wordy, too much detail, too theoretical
Review: This book snow-balls the reader with tons of trivial details that have little to do with clinical endodontic practice. It provides a confusing picture of how to function clinically. Out of touch with reality. I don't know why it is so standard in dental schools. Most undergraduates probably couldn't use more than 10% of it.

Summary: More Appropriate for post-doc students
Review: We read this text from cover to cover for our pre-doc endo course at NSU. To say the least, the text was wordy and often got distracted with details that are insignificant to the general practitioner and unnecessary for the pre-doc student. The faculty at nova have promised to review other texts in preparation for next year's class. Trust me, this book will force you to wade through a sea of useless information to find the clinically pertinant information. Don't waste your time unless you are obsessed with details. I hope this was helpful.
