This article discusses what endodontists do and the training needed to become a specialist in the field of endodontics. Concentrations Endodontics is the highly specialized branch of dentistry that focuses solely on the soft tissues within the teeth known as dental pulp. Issues with the dental pulp can occur because of both disease and injury. Over the last two decades, endodontics has been focused heavily on new techniques and tools that can be used to perform root canal surgery, as well as root canal fillings, to help provide people with a better and more effective experience than people may get from a general dentist....

Urology is a surgical specialty which deals with diseases of the male and female urinary tract and the male reproductive organs. Although urology technically is a “surgical specialty,” a urologist must be knowledgeable in other areas including internal medicine, pediatrics, and gynecology because of the wide variety of clinical problems that a urologist deals with. The American Urological Association has identified seven subspecialty areas: Pediatric Urology Urologic oncology (cancer) Renal transplantation Male infertility Calculi (urinary tract stones) Female urology (urinary incontinence and pelvic outlet relaxation disorders) Neurourology (voiding disorders, urodynamic evaluation of patients and erectile dysfunction or impotence)...

People who understand home repairs and construction can do a pretty good audit themselves. The Department of Energy maintains a Web site called Home Energy Saver that will walk you through the steps. But my husband and I have a home-repair IQ that’s somewhere in the range of a weak incandescent bulb. We needed a pro, and when Ray Evangelista of 411 Inspection Services arrived, we were delighted. For $400, he examined our building from top to bottom and gave us a personalized list of energy-trimming measures, along with the cost and potential savings from each one....

During the first day of practice at Lord’s, Ravi Shastri took to Twitter to express his thoughts. Sharing a picture of himself along with bowling coach Bharat Arun and batting coach Vikram Rathore on the iconic Lord’s balcony, Shastri wrote: Incidentally, Ravi Shastri was part of the Indian team led by Kapil Dev that registered their first victory against England at the iconic Lord’s Cricket Stadium in 1986. Chasing 134 runs, Shastri formed a gritty partnership with his skipper to pull off a miraculous win....

Hameed remained unbeaten on 59 as England set a victory target of 103 runs for the hosts. England were dismissed for 283 runs in their first innings while the hosts had managed 417 in reply. Star off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin ended up with figures of 3/81 while left-arm spinner Ravindra Jadeja and fast bowlers Umesh Yadav and Mohammed Shami bagged a brace each. Brief score: England 283 and 236 (Joe Root 78, Haseeb Hameed 59 not out; Ravichandran Ashwin 3/81) vs India 417....

Phillips played more minutes than any other outfield player across the games against San Marino, Albania and Poland, with the Three Lions kicking off their qualification campaign with three wins from three. The 25-year-old, viewed by many as a deputy for the injured Jordan Henderson, will now be pushing hard to be included in Southgate’s squad for the Euros in the summer, with the England boss having been impressed with what he’s seen from the Leeds midfielder....

The alleged assault, which happened in September after England played in the southwest English city of Bristol, has led to Stokes missing some of his country’s biggest matches as he fights the case. Stokes appeared at Bristol Crown Court alongside former soldier Ryan Hale and emergency services worker Ryan Ali, friends who had not met the cricketer before that night. Ali’s eye socket was fractured by Stokes, prosecutor Nicholas Corsellis said....

Indian opening bowlers were erratic in the first couple of overs but they soon found their groove and accounted for the departure of English openers in quick succession. Shami caught Jennings in front of the wicket with a ball tailing in. Ishant induced an edge from Cook with a ball shaping away. Debutant Pope started off confidently but could not stay long and became Pandya’s first victim. English skipper, Joe Root never looked confident in his laborious innings of 19 and was trapped LBW by Shami at the stroke of lunch....

Manchester United forward Rashford scored the only goal as the Three Lions returned to winning ways with a 1-0 victory over Switzerland in Leicester on Tuesday. The 20-year-old also opened the scoring in Saturday’s 2-1 loss to Spain at Wembley and Southgate was keen to see him come to the fore despite a lack of regular starts under Jose Mourinho at club level. “I’m really pleased for him. We know how exciting he is, we know that he’s going to be a top player,” he told Sky Sports....

Since the turn of this century, however, a cut-throat aura has encircled the event as the Ashes has taken a fierce turn into a new age. The dawn of this century has seen the making of gallant cricketers who have taken the world by storm with their aggressive approach and brought greater context to this illustrious trophy and its legacy. Here, we look at the 11 best Ashes cricketers to have represented England since the start of the century....

Last man out was silver fox Rangana Herath, cricket’s most successful left-arm spinner in history, in his last match before retirement. The hosts, chasing a notional 462 victory, were all out for 250 on day four, with Moeen Ali taking four wickets and Jack Leach three. England had secured a first innings lead of 139 and on Thursday an unbeaten 146 by Keaton Jennings, his first century since a ton on his 2016 debut, allowed Root to declare at 322 for six....

Harry Kane started to disappointing effect in the 1-1 draw against Russia and was then substituted at halftime against Wales with England trailing 1-0. Daniel Sturridge and Jamie Vardy came on to change the game, each scoring in a 2-1 win and both have been tipped to play against Slovakia on Monday. Hodgson declined to reveal his hand but denied that Kane was feeling the effect of a long season in which he has played more than 60 games....

Going into the 2nd ODI, these following players will be under the microscope due to their excellent recent performances or because they’re due a big one. The English will be looking to tackle the spin threat differently compared to how they handled it in the first match, and by preserving wickets against spin they can save the assault for the pace attack of India, which was expensive in the first match....

It was very clear that Vihari was brought in to replace Hardik Pandya. The team management tried to change one all-rounder for the other. Vihari though, is a batsman who can bowl a bit of off-spin and Pandya on the other hand, is a bowler who can bat. Vihari has earned his place in the Indian team. He has been in a purple patch in the 2018 domestic season. In the 6 Ranji Trophy matches that he has played this season, he has scored a mammoth 752 runs at an average of 94....

Rahul started on a positive note as he took on the bowlers early on and has looked dominant so far as the teams have taken the Tea break. Early on in his innings, Rahul was involved in a bizarre situation as he lost his shoe while taking a quick single. He tried to tap the ball on the leg side and take a quick single, but just after getting into his stride, he lost his shoe and in spite of that, managed to finish the run with ease....

Acho, a current presenter for Fox Sports 1, discussed Flores’ class-action lawsuit against the National Football League and how it alleges that the league has discriminatory hiring practices. However, Acho turned his attention to Flores hiring a law firm with an all-white staff and no Black lawyers. “I did a little perusing of the law firm that’s representing Brian Flores,” Acho told his co-presenter, Marcellus Wiley, “and I noticed a complete lack of diversity in that law firm....

In the NBA, approximately 60 new players ply their trade via the NBA Rookie Draft. Every year, several veteran players call it quits. Some of those retirees disappear, without much fanfare, while others remind us of some of the greatest moments, in NBA history. This season, there are three such players. From great plays to NBA titles won, Vince Carter, Dirk Nowitzki, and Dwyane Wade have left us with a lifetime of unforgettable memories....

After New Zealand extended their second innings to 284 on Day 5, England got off to a nervous start in their chase. They were three down for 56 in the 16th over, with big man Joe Root also back in the hut. Alex Lees contributed a defiant 44 but the Kiwis were still on top. However, a terrific fifth-wicket stand of 179 between Bairstow and skipper Ben Stokes (75* off 70) swung the momentum of the Test completely....

After suffering from a side strain during the recently concluded World Cup, he was not considered for the tour. But he was assessed by the ECB medical team after he played a County championship game for Worcestershire and since he bowled without any discomfort he has been picked to join the rest of the squad ahead of the 2nd Test. This could also mean that the leg-spinner Adil Rashid would be making way for him by returning back to England early to play in the County championship....
