Advances in Endodontics
Ø Advances in diagnostic phase
Ø Advance in preparatory phase
Ø Advances in obturation phase.
Historical review can be broadly classified as
Ø The empirical era [1687-1805]
Ø The vitalistic era [1806-1878]
Ø The focal infection era [1909-1937]

ADVANCES IN DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURES
The current routine methods rely on the stimulation of A delta nerve fibers and give no direct indication of the blood flow within the pulp.
The various newer techniques which are under investigation and clinical trial are
Ø Laser Doppler Flowmetry
Ø Pulseoximetry
Ø Dual Wavelength Spectrophotometry
Ø Computerized Infrared Thermo graphic Imaging
Ø Radiovisiography and other advanced digital imaging techniques for improved visibility
