Dr. Pommy Hallen

Lecture Synopsis

This intensive hands-on workshop reinforces the clinical principles from the lecture and online modules. Participants will perform a complete molar endodontic workflow using extracted teeth.

Hands-on exercises include:

• Access cavity preparation and straight-line access
• Orifice location with emphasis on MB2 identification
• Establishing patency and glidepath development
• Rotary instrumentation using Reciproc Blue
• Irrigation protocols and canal disinfection
• Obturation techniques for predictable sealing

The goal is to develop a structured, repeatable clinical workflow that can be directly applied in everyday endodontic practice.
