Endodontic success is dependent on a variety of interrelated factors, but removal of bacteria from the root canal system is the ultimate goal. This session will place special emphasis on locating the hard-to-find canals prior to using a rotary instrument in order to establish a predictable and reproducible glide path to the root apex. An evidence-based review of cutting-edge instrumentation options will be presented with special emphasis on different instrument designs and mechanical movements. Lastly, enhanced irrigation protocols will be explored along with state-of-the-art obturation techniques.
- How to increase the accuracy of endodontic diagnosis by understanding the limitations of pulp testing and radiology.
- Clinically relevant strategies for locating typical root canal anatomies and tips for identifying hard-to find canals.
- The design features and working characteristics of the most commonly used root canal instrumentation systems and their impact
on clinical efficiency and predictability. - A simple and efficient irrigation protocol for maximum disinfection of the root canal system and obturation techniques to place a dense three-dimensional filling in any root canal anatomy.
