Basics of Endodontics
Endodontics is a specialized field within dentistry dedicated to diagnosing and treating diseases affecting the dental pulp and tissues surrounding the roots of teeth. Central to this discipline is the root canal procedure, an intervention aimed at salvaging teeth with infected or damaged pulp, which, if left untreated, could lead to severe pain and potential tooth loss. Endodontists employ advanced techniques, including digital imaging and precision instrumentation, to meticulously clean, disinfect, and shape the root canals before sealing them with biocompatible materials. This process not only alleviates pain but also preserves the natural tooth, promoting long-term oral health. Endodontics plays a crucial role in preventing unnecessary tooth extractions, offering patients a pathway to retain their natural dentition.

Massive Transfusion Protocol
Massive Transfusion Protocol (MTP) is a standardized medical procedure activated in cases of severe hemorrhage, typically involving the rapid administration of large volumes of blood products. The goal is to restore circulating volume, maintain hemostasis, and prevent the lethal triad of hypothermia, acidosis, and coagulopathy. MTP usually involves a balanced ratio of packed red blood cells, plasma, and platelets, often in a 1:1:1 ratio. Early activation and coordination among trauma teams, laboratory services, and blood banks are essential for its success.
