CLEANING AND SHAPING WORKSHOP (Saturday)
NOTE: Dr. Ruddle's all-day lecture is a prerequisite for this hands-on workshop and participants must bring 2-3 extracted teeth which have been previously accessed.
This endodontic hands-on workshop is designed to move each clinician closer to their full potential. Participants will utilize a simple set of easy-to-use, progressively tapered ProTaperTM and WaveOne shaping files to prepare root canals for 3-D obturation. Clinicians will have the opportunity to confirm their preparation by fitting matching gutta percha master cones into these fully-shaped root canals. Every station will be equipped with the equipment and supplies necessary to participate fully. In addition, a digital x-ray system will be available for radiographic evaluation.
The University of Toronto, Faculty of Dentistry appreciates the unrestricted educational grant provided for this course by Dentsply Tulsa.
