The “Orange Book” Origins: Genesis of an Endodontic Study Guide – Ep. 68
In this episode of Endo Voices, we spotlight Dr. Brooke Blicher, a visionary practice owner, educator and author who has redefined endodontic exam preparation with the groundbreaking “Orange Book.” As the co-author of Endodontics Review and Clinical Endodontics along with Dr. Rebekah Lucier Pryles et al, Dr. Blicher has created indispensable resources that simplify complex concepts, making exam preparation more accessible and clinically relevant. These texts not only streamline studying but also serve as essential guides for integrating academic knowledge into everyday practice. Drawing on her rich clinical experience, mentorship and academic engagement, Dr. Blicher has shaped contemporary endodontic education by addressing pivotal topics such as cone beam CT imaging for enhanced case selection and the reimagining of retreatment and surgical procedures as highly successful alternatives to extractions. Her emphasis on mentorship, collaboration and staying current with literature ensures her work aligns with the highest standards of patient care.
