This course will include both a didactic component and a hands-on session. In the hands-on workshop, the new “Blend Technique” will be introduced and participants will learn how to instrument root canals in an intuitive fashion. Additionally, a bioceramic obturation method will be introduced that combines the latest in material science, with endodontic synchronicity resulting in a passive, bonded root canal obturation. Attendees will also have the opportunity to use piezo electric ultrasonics.
- Discover how the “Blend Technique” is completely intuitive in its design
- Comprehend the advantages of heat-treated files and how best to use them
- Reproduce the most effective instrument motions available for shaping root canals which is the “Rhythm Technique”
- Understand the need to combine the latest technology with long established, evidence-based endodontic principles
- Recognize the benefits of piezoelectric ultrasonics in both access and three-dimensional irrigation
- Appreciate the benefits of bioceramic obturation and the incorporation of matching posts
Lecture:
- Recognize what quality endodontic therapy can accomplish for your patient
- Develop a thorough understanding of diagnosis, instrumentation, and obturation
- Understand how to diagnose and anesthetize “hot teeth”
- Discuss file design and metallurgy
- Cite the rationale behind bioceramic sealers
- Acknowledge that endodontics and restorative dentistry are not distinct entities
