Lecture Synopsis

This course/lecture is designed to aid in assessing which cases can be confidently performed in office instead of being referred out. Addressing would be critical problems encountered when performing root canal therapy using modern techniques to solve them. Magnification, CBCT and state of the art instruments, irrigation and obturation techniques should allow the clinician to deal with diverse situations removing organic tissue and lowering the microbial bioburden in order to increase the potential for healing and long-term success. 

Learning Objectives:

At the end of the presentation, attendees will be able to:

1. Describe the use of ultrasonic tips to remove dentin and to locate

canals like the MB2.

2. Practice the use of reciprocation and rotary instruments, with their

advantages and disadvantages.

3. Identify what irrigants should be used in the root canal system and

how to activate them to improve removal of organic tissue and

biofilm.

4. Recognize efficient obturation techniques like hydraulic

condensation and continuous wave of condensation using injectable
