ACDE Webinar Series
The Association for Continuing Dental Education (ACDE), along with 37 of its member schools, is jointly providing a series of live webinars. This series features university-based key opinion leaders presenting numerous topics on multiple dates and times. Presentations are available to meet every dental professional’s schedule and interests.
Course Description
Root canal therapy’s success hinges on three critical steps: proper instrumentation, effective irrigation, and thorough obturation. Of these, irrigation plays the most pivotal role in ensuring the healing of periapical tissues. During endodontic disinfection, the clinician faces many limiting factors: such as complex root canal anatomy, untouched dentin walls left during mechanical instrumentation, and bacterial load in the forms of biofilm attached to dentin walls and in the isthmus. This course will discuss the importance of traditional and newer root canal irrigants with evidence-based irrigation protocols required to accomplish the debridement of the root canal system, which is essential for the predictable success of endodontic cases. By the end of this course, the participants will be equipped with the knowledge to implement advanced irrigation techniques, and protocols ensuring predictable and successful clinical outcomes.
