Abstract
The impact of ground-breaking research on the dental pulp and its response to dental procedures, materials and associated diseases significantly influenced the evolution and scope of Endodontics, creating a science of Endodontology. While there were scattered studies in the early 20th century in this regard, the clarification and codification of these concepts took a major leap forward in the late 1950s due to the academic prowess and in-depth research endeavors of Dr. Kaare Langeland. The story begins during World War I in Norway.
