The purpose of this article is to describe a simple and versatile aid for the endodontic treatment of extracted teeth and its possible applications. The Med*‐box is a new endodontic multipurpose device made of transparent acrylic that permits all elements of root canal treatment to be performed and evaluated either visually or radiologically. The Med*‐box represents a valuable addition to the spectrum of educational and practical means in endodontic training. It is well suited for students, dentists, and endodontists for learning the handling of new materials, methods, and instruments in endodontics before they work clinically upon a patient. Also in the context of scientific endodontic issues, the Med*‐box represents a simple, economical, and easily manageable aid.
