Modern Root Canal Therapy-Diagnosis to Obturation and Beyond
About This Event
Nearly 32 years since the introduction of Nickel Titanium Rotary Files to endodontics, this course reviews advances in rotary file metallurgy, design, and motions and how they affect clinical instrumentation. It also covers recent advances in cement/sealer technology and bioceramic obturation techniques, demonstrating combined instrumentation and obturation protocols to improve efficiency, safety, and predictability. The program includes live lecture and a hands-on workshop with emphasis on access, irrigation, instrumentation, safe instrumentation protocols, cone fit, bonded obturation techniques, and hydraulic condensation for post space preparation.
Learning Objectives
- Learn how rotary file design, metallurgy and motion influences instrumentation safety and efficiency.
- Comprehend the advantages of bioceramic based obturation and clinical techniques for its implementation.
- Discover how instrumentation and obturation protocols can be combined as a comprehensive system to achieve both efficiency and predictability in most clinical situations.
- Be able to describe the proper protocol for safe and effective instrumentation of a given canal and cone fit for obturation in different scenarios.
- Describe the simple, bonded obturation technique of the fitted gutta percha in the prepared canal.
- Be able to utilize the advantage of Hydraulic Condensation to prepare a quick post space in the canal, if needed.
