Real World Endo® presents The Endo-Restorative Continuum

COURSE DESCRIPTION:

The lecture segment of this presentation will concentrate on two areas. 1) How to perform Endodontics in a predictable, reproducible manner, and 2) How to do root canal therapy in such a manner that you actually enhance the long-term prognosis of the tooth. The goal of this program is to have dentists learn how to perform endodontics in such a way that they can offer their patients a long-term natural dentition option as an alternative to implants.

Included in the lecture component will be a thorough discussion concerning access, non-surgical ultrasonic use, rotary file design, instrumentation techniques, and various obturation options. Particular emphasis will be placed on developing endodontic synchronicity between a machined preparation and a laser verified primary or single cone. Additionally, various techniques will be discussed that will facilitate the restoration of the endodontically treated tooth. Participants will have the opportunity to validate all these concepts during the hands-on session.

The hands-on session provides the participants the opportunity to use "Precision-Based" techniques to "machine a preparation" and obturate canals utilizing the latest Real World Endo technology. Time will be dedicated to "Preventing the Separation of Rotary Files", as well as, developing safe and efficient techniques. Digital radiography and the use of ultrasonics will also be available to course participants. We will deliver "Just the Facts . . Nothing but the Facts."

COURSE OBJECTIVES:

During this lecture/hands-on participants will learn:

• How to create straight-line access that will expedite the endodontic process
• The multiple benefits of piezo electric ultrasonics
• Which ultrasonic tips are ideal for endodontic application
• The difference between landed and non-landed rotary files
• How to "machine" or "mill" an endodontic preparation
• The benefits of developing "endodontic synchronicity" between a machined preparation and a cone
• The multiple advantages of performing a constant .04 taper preparation
• A new adhesion based obturation technique
• How best to restore an endodontically treated tooth
• Most importantly, how to perform endodontics so you do not compromise the long-term retention of the tooth. In fact, learn how to do endodontics so you actually enhance the long-term retention of the tooth.

***Participants should bring multiple extracted teeth accessed and negotiated to length with a 10-k file.
