Confidence in endodontics is hard to achieve without strategies to help keep you safe and focused. We will discuss tips and tricks to help build efficiency while accessing and locating the maximum number of canals in each tooth. You will also learn instrumentation with two different predictable rotary filing systems. Through hands-on instruction, you will gain a better understanding of the concepts and skills. Imaging of root canal anatomy in 3D with cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) allows us to be better clinicians and offer more effective treatments. This workshop is designed to focus on the treatment of root canals in 3D. The complex root canal system requires effective disinfection with irrigation. Efficient obturation is critical to seal these complex anatomical spaces effectively. This hands-on workshop includes activities such as instrumentation, ultrasonics, magnification, irrigation, obturation and reading CBCT volumes for endodontic cases.
Learning Objectives:
Learn about the latest armamentarium used to access, locate canals, instrument and debride root canal systems.
Practice the learning principles of rotary instrumentation using two different rotary systems.
Examine the anatomical and clinical necessity of chemical debridement of root canal systems with irrigation.
Practice 3D obturation of root canal systems with single-cone obturation techniques, followed by placement of an effective coronal seal.
Explore multiple uses of CBCT imaging for endodontic application with hands-on practice.
