Synopsis

This intensive course cuts through the noise to focus on the fundamental clinical truths of endodontics. The panoply of endodontic workflow from diagnostic perplexities to addressing the difficulty in anesthetizing "hot teeth" to ultrasonic recovery of the root canal system to optimizing debridement and disinfection protocols and bio-active root filling techniques will be addressed.

The introduction of AI technology to endodontic motors that incorporate real-time apex location and torque correction essentially negating file separation and the next level redesign of endodontic files through laser heat treatment and smaller blank sizes has facilitated unprecedented levels of predictable treatment outcomes. The critical role that the coronal seal mandates in long-term success will be discussed.

It is understanding the technologic tenets of endodontic protocols, an appreciation of the application of the tools that engender optimal shape and minimally invasive techniques, and the concept of a truly closed system that lead to predictable rehabilitation of the endodontically treated tooth. Rather than chasing the latest trends, this course focuses on predictable rehabilitation. You will leave with a clear roadmap of the ecosystem needed to handle complex morphologies with confidence, utilizing the latest in AI and material science to ensure your endodontic outcomes are as durable as they are precise.
