CE Hours
This course will acquaint the attendee with protocols for successful endodontic treatment outcome; optimal debridement and disinfection of the root canal space, and single-cone obturation utilizing bioceramic sealer. The integration of dentin conservation, sealing of the root/coronal spaces in conjunction with preserving the integrity of the residual clinical crown will be detailed. Minimally invasive 3D cleaning resulting from virtual core NiTi instrumentation and bioceramic root filling technologies will be explained and demonstrated. These evolutionary technologies promise enhanced prevention and treatment of apical periodontitis resulting in long-term survivability of the endodontically treated tooth.
Speakers
In this course attendees will:
- Explain the basic concepts of access preparation
- Modify access with ultrasonic tips and low speed burs
- Examine the pulpal floor utilizing magnification
- Establish a glide-path
- Utilize 3D shapers and finishers
- Proper utilizing of bioceramic sealer
Supplies Needed
Each participant is encouraged to bring several extracted teeth that have already been accessed, with the main canals located and instrumented to size #10 or #15 hand files. These will be used after the participants first practice on plastic blocks and plastic teeth that will be provided to everyone. Loupes are recommended.
