NewsPosted by: Dental Design 8th September 2022
The BES is delighted to announce the publication of the first edition of “A guide to Good Endodontic Practice” (GEP) to support the work of the Society in promoting and advancing the discipline of Endodontics.
The BES has long felt the need for a framework document to be produced to set a reference point to guide all levels of practitioners to deliver good endodontic care. From examination and diagnosis, through execution of treatment to subsequent restoration of the endodontically treated tooth, this document guides the reader through the various stages of endodontic case management. The Guide incorporates a broad range of topics including case difficulty assessment (featuring the use of the BES EndoApp), record keeping, management of endodontic emergencies and the management of sodium hypochlorite accidents. There is also particular emphasis on the evolving area of vital pulp therapy.
The document is open to all online and is hyperlinked to navigate quickly. It is professionally finished with high quality x-rays, photographs and illustrations. It provides a concise educational narrative to most areas of the discipline with distilled advice for many of the issues confronting practitioners managing endodontic disease.
It has been put together by council members of the society under the editorship of Dr Phil Tomson, Honorary Secretary of the BES and Head of Endodontics at the University of Birmingham. The Society is pleased to launch this document which is hoped to provide a reference point for good endodontic standards and contribute to improved patient outcomes and experiences.
