What you will learn
This evidence-based course will focus on essential technologies and clinical protocols for treating day-to-day endodontic scenarios. Course topics will include:
-
The dental operating microscope, which combines both magnification and illumination to enhance visibility and increase the probability of locating extra canals without removing excessive tooth structure.
-
The benefit of incorporating three-dimensional imaging into your practice for enhanced visualization of difficult anatomy and dealing with challenging diagnoses.
-
Ultrasonic units and ultrasonic tips, enabling the clinician to remove tooth structure more conservatively and access difficult-to-reach areas.
-
Electric motors driving rotary and reciprocating files, which are indispensable for faster and safer glide path and shaping of the canals.
-
The role of irritants and irrigation has changed within the past few years as it has evolved from an adjunct solution to an important tool for disinfection.
-
Different devices and materials will be discussed for filling the root canal system and “blocking” the portal of entrance to bacteria which is paramount to maintaining the asepsis achieved during disinfection.
Course highlights
After completing the course, you will be able to:
-
Recognize the importance of a three-dimensional image in assessing dental anatomy before endodontic treatment.
-
Apply the microsonics concept to enhance the chances of finding extra canals (i.e. MB2 and mesial-middle canal).
-
Compare both rotary and reciprocating instruments when shaping the canals.
-
Recognize the importance of the irrigation protocol for disinfection.
-
Compare several devices and materials for a three-dimensional obturation.
