COURSE OVERVIEW
Successful endodontics begins with instrumentation and ultimately ridding
the canal of organic debris. Apical enlargement is performed to ensure
cleanliness and improve obturation. All of this should be done while
maintaining the anatomy and integrity of the tooth structure and not
compromising it. This course offers a unique opportunity to examine the
realities behind the myths concerning root canals. The main objective
is to educate clinicians on the clinical protocols required for achieving
predictability.

Scientific material will be presented on the latest methods needed to
ensure proper access, cleaning, shaping and obturation. The program
will review anatomical studies and suggest a technique for proper apical,
coronal and mid-root preparation.
Techniques for avoiding ledging, zipping, perforating, over preparation
and canal straightening will also be discussed. Clinicians will learn about
the latest scientific and endodontic technology that can be immediately
incorporated into their practices.

COURSE LEARNING OBJECTIVES
• The concept of Working Width – The Forgotten Dimension
• Biologically Optimal Preparations – Complete apical preparation without
over or under preparing the canal
• Complete Microbial Control – The goal is complete bacterial removal
• Tips to reduce chair time – Four-handed endodontics
• Achieving predictable results – Cleaning, shaping & filling 3-dimensionally
