Course Description
This course is offered to dental clinicians who desire to stay updated on the latest endodontic techniques and scientific advancements in the shaping of root canals. The discussion will include a review of the objectives of root canal treatment and how to achieve a predictable outcome by following the principles of establishing and maintaining the Glide path and understanding the modern NiTi metallurgy and irrigation technologies.
Course Aim & Objectives
• The clinicians will become familiar with the Science & Physics of Instrumentation, including advances in metallurgy and file engineering addressing cyclic fatigue and minimizing procedural errors such as file fracture.
• The clinicians will be introduced to reciprocation versus rotation of shaping the root canals using fewer files and understanding how to design enhancements can deliver consistent canal shapes in less time with fewer instruments.
• Clinical cases will be presented
• The clinicians will have Hands-on experience using Wave One Gold single root canal shaping instrument technique
• A dental operating microscope will also be available for clinicians
• Obturation: State-of-the-art, centrally condensed gutta-percha technologies vs. single-cone techniques.
