Course Description
This course addresses breakthrough concepts and details the skills needed to perform top-quality endodontics with confidence. Participants will become familiar with the “apex last” approach to canal shaping with nickel-titanium instrumentation using the ProTaperTM Gold Rotary and WaveOneTM Gold Reciprocating NiTi Systems. Choose whether you want to shape your canals using Continuous Rotation or Reciprocation. The end result is increased resistance to cyclic fatigue with more confidence in your hands.
We’ll cover predictable irrigation protocols for removing smear layers and biofilms to achieve optimal canal debridement. Vertical condensation of thermo-softened gutta percha using The Continuous Wave of CondensationTM and GuttaCoreTM thermo-softened carriers will also be discussed.
During this exciting presentation, participants will receive hands-on experience in a workshop environment.
Additionally, we offer an adjunctive assistant program that covers endodontic set-up, rubber dam and X-ray placement, and effective collaboration between dentist and assistant to ensure the best patient experience.
