This episode is the second part of a two-part series in which Dr. Ricucci tackles controversial topics in endodontics. In this two part series we'll be talking about whether or not we can regenerate the dentin pulp complex, direct pulp capping, caries excavation and whether or not you should get patency with every canal. Dr. Ricucci runs his own histology laboratory, has over 100 publications, authored two textbooks, 16 book chapters and lectured nationally and internationally.
