Endodontic microsurgery has experienced multiple waves of technological and scientific advancements making it one of the most predictable procedures in our field.

This lecture will survey medical disorders that are encountered in an endodontic practice. Attendees will be provided with a brief overview of the basic disease process, aetiology, and medications. A series of recommendations and precautions for reducing intra-operatory as well as post-operatory complications will also be discussed.
