The co-editors and publisher are pleased to present the tenth edition of a textbook that has been continuously evolving since 1976. We are also proud to announce the renaming of this text to Cohen's Pathways of the Pulp to reflect the leadership, passion, and expertise of Dr. Stephen Cohen, who has guided the production of all 10 editions. This current edition has been completely updated and expanded to provide the latest clinically relevant, evidence-based knowledge, while also introducing exciting new chapters on subjects such as Regenerative Endodontics, Cone Beam Technologies, and Endodontic Practice Management.
The companion Expert Consult version of the book has also been greatly enhanced with supplemental content available only online. With its exceptional capacity to provide continuous updates, the Expert Consult site is reflective of the dynamic nature of our specialty, empowering our readers with not only the most current clinical information available, but also with an invaluable feature that permits the downloading of any figure in the book as a PowerPoint or jpeg image for the reader's personal study or lectures. Moreover, the online Challenge section provides self-assessment of knowledge with a unique collection of hyperlinks that connects all of the multiple choice questions to relevant sections of the text. As editors, we feel privileged and honored to offer this thoroughly updated and expanded version of the first interactive textbook in dentistry that enables the reader to continuously stay on the “cutting edge” of endodontics.
We welcome your feedback at any time.

- Records and Legal Responsibilities chapter includes legal forms and descriptions of legal processes, guidelines for record keeping, and information on HIPAA doctor-patient rights and responsibilities, so you can avoid potential legal issues, operate your practice more smoothly and professionally, and know your options in all situations.
- The Role of Endodontics After Dental Traumatic Injuries chapter focuses on the role of the dentino-pulpal complex in the pathogenesis of disease subsequent to dentinal trauma and how treatment of this complex can contribute to favorable healing.
- Periradicular Surgery chapter covers this predictable, cost-effective alternative to extraction and tooth replacement with a new section on three-dimensional cone beam volumetric tomography and also covers topics including indications for periradicular surgery, the biological principles of wound healing, soft and hard tissue healing, systemic medications and the effect they have on wound healing, pre-operative evaluation, patient preparation, anesthesia, surgical access, periradicular curettage and biopsy, localized hemostasis, management of the root endguided tissue regeneration and endodontic surgery, intentional replantation, postoperative care, management of surgical complications, and more.
- Pediatric Endodontics chapter provides a review of current therapies for the prevention and treatment of pulpal disease in primary and young permanent teeth.
- Effects of Age and Systemic Health on Endodontics chapter discusses special considerations and procedures for older patients, including how medical and dental histories can impact treatment, diagnosis and treatment of the older patient, and endodontic surgery.
- Digital Technology in Endodontic Practice chapter discusses integrating technology into the office, including the use of electronic records, with a new section on radiation addressing the NCRP recommendations, quality assurance, and patient education, and a section on Cone Beam CT examining CBCT advantages such as lower cost, less radiation, and greater accuracy, along with the newly introduced hybrid units like the Kodak 9000 3D extraoral imaging system.
