Root To Crown Part 1: Establishing Endodontic Success - Hands On

About this Seminar

The endodontic restorative continuum is a comprehensive approach to restoring a tooth after endodontic treatment to optimum form and function as the success of the root canal treatment is influenced by the quality of the restoration. Part 1 of this programme addresses breakthrough concepts and details the skills necessary for acquiring the expertise and confidence to perform the highest quality endodontics. As a participant in our program, you will become familiar with the use of the “apex last” approach to safe and efficient canal shaping with reciprocating heat-treated Reciproc TM Blue nickel-titanium instrumentation. Glide Path creation will be discussed as a pre-emptive measure to ensure a safe pathway to the root canal apex.

We will also discuss predictable irrigation protocols using Passive Sonic Irrigation, vertical condensation of thermo-softened gutta-percha using The Continuous Wave of vertical condensation and Gutta Core TM thermosoftened carriers. During this exciting presentation the attendee will receive hands-on experience in a workshop environment. Please bring your own loups and headlamp.
