Question	Answer
Its study and practice encompass the basic and clinical sciences including the biology of the normal pulp and the etiology, diagnosis, prevention and treatment of diseases and injuries of the pulp and associated periradicular conditions.	ENDODONTICS
The branch of dentistry concerned with the morphology, physiology and pathology of the human dental pulp and periradicular tissues	ENDODONTICS
Also includes the study of periapical/periradicular tissues because in a case that the pulp is diseased, there is a possibility that it will include the periapical tissues because of the common area known as the apical foramen	ENDODONTICS
Preserving the vitality of the pulp by initiating tertiary dentin formation	Pulp capping
Remove the infected coronal pulp (towards pulp chamber) but preserve the vitality of radicular part (root portion)	Pulpotomy
Procedure done for deciduous teeth and young permanent teeth that has an open apex	Pulpotomy
Surgical removal of tooth structure:Remove one root leaving the other root with the crown	Root-end resection
Surgical removal of tooth structure:resect a molar by making it into a premolar; half the tooth into two→save root portion and periradicular tissue	Bicuspidization
Surgical removal of tooth structure:removing a part of the tooth and preserving half of it	Hemisection
Surgical removal of tooth structure:removal of portion of the tooth in the apical end causing the pathosis	Apicoectomy
Surgical removal of tooth structure:greater portion of the root is removed	Root-end resection
Surgical removal of tooth structure:only a portion (2-3mm) of the root end is removed	Apicoectomy
tooth has already been treated with endodontic therapy, but it was not properly done or there is a pathosis that arises (poor prognosis)	Retreatment of teeth
