This clinical guide, co-authored by endodontic specialists Gianluca Plotino and Nicola Maria Grande, explores the dual requirements of shaping and cleaning in endodontic therapy. The text is organized into seven chapters that trace the evolution of biomechanical reaming and the technological development of nickel-titanium (NiTi) instruments. It provides a technical breakdown of canal preparation stages, from initial negotiation to final apical finishing using both rotary and reciprocating file systems. A significant portion of the book is dedicated to chemical decontamination, addressing the irrigation protocols necessary to reach anatomical complexities that mechanical instruments cannot contact. By combining scientific research with high-quality clinical iconography, the authors present a systematic approach to achieving predictable endodontic outcomes while preserving the structural integrity of the tooth.
