In my opinion, there is no one in the entire field of endodontics today who can better articulate the intricacies of endodontic instruments and their design than Dr. John T. McSpadden…. he has taken what is often deemed a tedious but critical subject in endodontics to its highest level…. This text is a must read and a must study for all clinicians who practice endodontics….is second to none – not only because there is no other publication that it can be even remotely compared to but it is a quality-oriented, evidence-based introspection of the instruments that we as clinicians so intimately depend upon. brought to the domain of practicing endodontists, endodontic educators and researchers…. is a piece of work that contains current research, high resolution images, colorful graphs and tables, and most of all, answers to the why’s and why-not’s of file form and function. with his intellectual curiosity and engineering background, he has been able to craft an award winning text. This book will be a constant reminder to all of us that it was Dr. John T. McSpadden who introduced us to the world of rotary endodontics. Gerald N. Glickman, DDS MS Chair, Department of Endodontics Baylor College of Dentistry Dallas TXOnce in a great while, an individual has the courage, talent and expertise to provide the profession with a benchmark by which all other studies, anecdotal claims and personal bias must adhere. Dr. John T. McSpadden has provided the dental profession and the specialty of endodontics with such a benchmark…. The text of this book is written for the most part in the first person allowing for personal interpretation of the experimental results based on hard data without being dogmatic. This style acknowledges that there may be other opinions relative to the information put forth in this text but Dr. McSpadden has set the bar high for those who may disagree. The essence of a work such as this is that Dr. McSpadden has dared to establish protocols and scientific methodology on which differences of opinion can be evaluated…. This book should be mandatory reading for all dentists interested in the selection of an instrumentation technique along with an understanding of the safe and effective utilization of the instruments chosen.

ADA Houston TX The book is a masterpiece of Socratic learning; a logical, progressive and systematic examination of how root canal anatomy dictates the selection and use of endodontic instruments. The text offers exhaustive assessments of materials, file systems, handpieces and design features and accompanies them with unsurpassed imagery…. Research was the seminal force behind “Mastering Endodontic Instrumentation…. All the results are devoid of operator subjectivity; thus the content is evidence-based and incontrovertible… Dr. McSpadden poses questions and then answers them and each logical thought progression takes you from one topic to the next as the assessment of all current systems, their strengths and their weaknesses, is defined in the most extraordinary detail. The scholarship evident will provide both the inexperienced and consummate practitioners with a means to exponentiate their expertise…. In its elegance, lies its simplicity; the cogent and concise scientific explanations for instrumenting complex cases are unprecedented… …He has written the definitive text for present and future generations to understand and appreciate the enormity of his contributions to the endodontic discipline Kenneth S.
