Friday Lecture
It is Monday morning...
You are previewing your patient schedule. An endodontic patient is scheduled for 10 am. Are you ready? Do you have the correct tooth? Can you find all the canals? Do you have the specific skills to follow all the canals to their physiologic termini? Do you know the difference between PT and RT? Have you mastered safe and efficient Rotary Endodontics so that your finished obturation result will be solid and successful?
This program not only answers every one of these questions, it will leave you with newfound endodontic freedom. Your endodontics will be safer, simpler, easier, and significantly more efficient. You will learn the six skills of mastering endodontic's fundamental mechanics and will be taught how to immediately implement them into your practice. This presentation has been called a “game changer” by previous audiences because many of you are still making the same old endodontic mistakes that you have in the past. All that will change. Material will be presented to teach what it looks like to master the Total Endodontic Experience and teach you to deliver endodontics to your patients that you truly control.
Participants will learn to:
- Unravel the confusion about Endodontic Diagnosis
- Find, Follow, and Finish endodontic preparations
- Master the six essential skills of super-efficient, safe, and predictable Rotary Endodontics
- Immediately apply 21 endodontic practice builders to grow your practice
