The Editorial Board of the Journal of Endodontics has developed a literature-based study guide of topical areas related to endodontics. This study guide is intended to give the reader a focused review of the essential endodontic literature and does not cite all possible articles related to each topic. Although citing all articles would be comprehensive, it would defeat the idea of a study guide. The topics presented in this section are formocresol pulpotomy, electrosurgical pulpotomy, and pulpectomy in primary teeth.
